Building on the success of its 1995 predecessor, this 2nd Edition of "Open Pit Mine Planning and Design" has been updated and extended in a complete and authoritative account of modern open pit mining. New parts on the reporting of mineral resources and ore reserves, and on responsible mining were added to provide the reader with handles for defining assets and for a balanced consideration of the relation of mining to sustainable development. "Volume 1" deals with the fundamental concepts involved in the planning and design of an open pit mines. Subjects covered are mine planning, mining revenues and costs, orebody description, geometrical considerations, pit limits, production planning, mineral resources and ore reserves, and responsible mining. "Volume 2" deals with CSMine, a user-friendly mine planning and design software that was developed especially for illustrating the principles involved when applied in practice. It includes CSMine software, a CSMine tutorial, a user's guide and various orebody case examples. "Open Pit Mine Planning and Design" is most suited as a textbook in courses in surface mine design, open pit design, geological and excavation engineering and in advanced open pit mine planning and design anywhere in the world. In addition, it can also be used as a useful and practical reference guide by senior students and professionals. The step-by-step introduction to mine design and planning enables a fast-path approach of the matter by undergraduate and graduate students. The outstanding, user-friendly software guides the student through the planning and design steps, and the drillhole data sets enable practicing of the described principles in diverse mining properties case examples. The large number of illustrative examples and case studies, together with the exercises and the reference lists at the end of each chapter, provide the student with all material that is needed to study effectively the theory and application methods of open pit mine planning and design.

This guide to the native orchids of Belize has been produced as the culmination of several years of collections made by the authors while working in the country. All species are keyed out, thus making it relatively easy for orchid enthusiasts to cross-reference their material and descriptions.
