520    This book uses a problem-and-solution approach to 
       environmental remediation in mining, including the 
       environmentally sustainable utilization of waste materials
       from the mining industry. It largely comprises articles 
       published in Springer journals, which have been thoroughly
       revised and extended. The volume discusses specific 
       problem areas from relevant Caribbean locations and is 
       supplemented by a large number of data and illustrations. 
       It provides an overview of geotechnical and microbial 
       solutions to prevent post-mining deterioration in this 
       area.
