GOLD FEVER: ONE MAN’S ADVENTURES ON THE TRAIL OF THE GOLD RUSH
Book ID/图书代码： 08136015B80803
English Summary/英文概要： One Thursday in 2008 the price of gold went above a thousand dollars an ounce for the first time in history. All over the world, in countries with gold-bearing soil, people with no experience prospecting began shopping for shovels and pickaxes, gold pans, tents, generators, and all manner of equipment they had no idea how to use. And off they went mining.
In 2013, Steve Boggan decided he wanted a piece of the action, flying to San Francisco to join the 21st century’s gold rush in a quest to understand the allure of the metal — and maybe find a bit for himself, too. The result is GOLD FEVER, a travelogue like no other. Boggan also takes readers back in time to the original San Franciscan gold rush, two centuries ago, and gets a crash course in the science and economics of gold. Written with Boggan’s characteristic wit and self-effacing charm, GOLD FEVER is a hugely entertaining travelogue and a unique insight into the history and future of the world’s most seductive metal.
