Gold... a noble metal whose luster and beauty have captivated people for millennia. Its past holds many secrets, and its present and future are even more intriguing: today, exploration of primary gold deposits is conducted using satellites, aircraft, and drones; mines and drifts resemble veritable underground cities; and "golden" professions—geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, and mine surveyors—attract ever more daredevils and dreamers.

This book is about the history of gold from ancient times to the present day, about how gold was once searched for and mined, and how it is done today, about gold's amazing journey from space to Earth, from a star to gold-bearing ore, and from a bar to a coin.
