Rare Earth Frontiers is a work of human geography that serves to demystify the powerful elements that make possible the miniaturization of electronics, green energy and medical technologies, and essential telecommunications and defense systems. Julie Michelle Klinger draws attention to the fact that the rare earths we rely on most are as common as copper or lead, and this means the implications of their extraction are global. Klinger excavates the rich historical origins and ongoing ramifications of the quest to mine rare earths in ever more impossible places.

People working in space mining or rare earth research or news have probably already heard of this book, it's even being used in some college courses now and it also won the Meridian award (a top award amongst geographers). Since rare earths have been such a hot topic in the last several years, this book has been important because it explains whats going on without trying to hype anything up. I've read several chapters and happy they made an audio book so now I'm going to listen to the other chapters. Only downside to the audio book is that there are some important figures you won't be able to 'hear', but the narrator has a decent voice for this kind of material.
