Trans-Hudson-Orogene in the north and north-east of our study area and other reworked Archean crust within Utah and Nevada give upper Orosirian ages (1.9 - 1.8 Ga), too. The Yavapai terranes dominate the south-east with ages between 1.76 - 1.72 Ga (Statherian), which is the same period as the Mazatzal terranes (1.69 - 1.65 Ga), outside our narrower study area. As well outside, only slightly touching it, is the Granite Rhyolite Province with ages from 1.55 - 1.35 Ga (Lower to Middle Mesoproterozoic, Calymmian to Ectasian). Then, the bedrock ages show a massive gap until the Cordilleran arc, which accreted from the west between 160 - 67 Ma (Upper Jurassic to Cretaceous). (Fig. 1.1) Physiogeographically, nearly all of Nevada belongs to the Basin and Range Province. The ranges still show the folding of the terranes accreted through the subduction of the Farallon plate below the continental margin (SIGLOCH AND MIHALYNUK 2013; DECOURTEN AND BIGGAR 2017). Thus, most mountain ranges follow a north south strike. These mountains ranges show a high variety of Proterozoic to Cenozoic ages on the ridges but are all overlaid by Paleogene and Neogene sediments within the basins. Hydrogeographically, the region belongs to the Great Basin (GB), an endorheic basin. (DECOURTEN AND BIGGAR 2017)

The financial world was sent reeling in early 2021 when a seemingly innocuous online forum, Reddit, orchestrated a buying frenzy that challenged the status quo of Wall Street. This book, "From Threads to the Streets: The Reddit Uprising and the Future of Finance," delves into this unprecedented event, the r/WallStreetBets community at its heart, and its far-reaching implications. Professor Ambrose, a leading expert in financial markets and social dynamics, meticulously dissects the events leading up to the "GameStop short squeeze." He explores the power of online communities, the democratization of finance through online platforms, and the vulnerabilities exposed in traditional investment practices. "From Threads to the Streets" is not just a chronicle of a single event. Professor Ambrose uses this case study to paint a vivid picture of the evolving financial landscape. He explores the potential for a future where social media and retail investors hold greater sway, the need for regulatory reforms, and the impact on established financial institutions. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the changing face of finance, the power of online communities, and the potential for disruption in the established order. Professor Ambrose's insightful analysis provides valuable perspective for investors, regulators, and anyone curious about the future of our financial system.
