This edited volume is based on the best papers accepted for presentation during the 1st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-1), Tunisia 2018. The book is of interest to all researchers in the fields of Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology and Volcanology. The Earth's interior is a source of heat, which makes our planet unique. This source regulates the formation and evolution of rocks at larger scales, and of minerals and sediments toward smaller scales. In such context, the exploration of georesources (products) has to be related to petrogenesis (processes). This volume offers an overview of the state-of-the-art petrogenesis and exploration in, but not limited to, the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. It gives new insights into processes and products related to the Earth's interior, and associated georesources by international researchers. Main topics include: 1. Petrogenetic processes: geochemistry, geochronology and geophysical approaches 2. Surficial processes: sedimentation and facies analysis 3. Applied mineralogy and tectonics 4. Geological research applied to mineral deposits

This is an incredible account of the Burke and Wills expedition, organized by the Royal Society of Victoria in Australia in 1860–61. It had 19 men directed by Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills to cross Australia from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. At that time, the interior of Australia had not been surveyed by non-Indigenous people and was strange to the European settlers. This work focuses mainly on the experiences of William J. Wills and sheds light on everything from the origination of the expedition to their return.

O’Neill’s hitherto unpublished book makes available for the first time information on northern Mozambique in the late nineteenth century, on the slave trade and on the expansion of Portuguese rule and the resistance to it by powerful local communities.
