Dr. Robert Stevens is a professional geologist and the Vice President of Regulatory and Technical Policy at the ociation for Mineral Exploration.

Review: interesting to read - Meet my expectations for what it was intended for. Interesting to read with clear explanations Review: Very good book. - Excellent condition and fast shipping. Was able to easily re-schedule delivery. The book itself came highly recommended, so already knew the contents would be as expected. Would have preferred to be able to pick up rather than drop on my doorstep, that option was not available.
