- Traces the history of copper extraction from Roman times to the end of the 19th century, and then looks at copper demand in the 20th century and how new technologies such as froth flotation enable copper to be extracted from lower grade ores. Addresses issues such as large-scale mining; world-wide consumption; production and ore grade; supply and demand; substitution of copper by other mateerials; copper reserves; and mining economics. Also looks at exploration for new prospects.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
