The Shelf2Life Mines and Mining Collection is a unique set of materials focusing on the operation of mines, the mining industry and mineralogy in the 19th and 20th centuries. From first-hand accounts of life in the mines to descriptions of mine construction, excavation methods and machinery, to mine taxation and determinative mineralogy, this collection reveals the science and culture of the thriving mining industry pre-1923. Illuminating the pages of these intriguing volumes are rock and mineral photographs and mineral classification tables including chemical tests and scientific experiments written during a period of significant expansion in the discipline of mineralogy. The Mines and Mining Collection unearths a period of early historical mining practices and related scientific discoveries of value to enthusiasts, students and mineralogists alike.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book on index mining engineering literature is a valuable aid to researchers by extending the list of publications indexed for the first volume to cover a greater number of publications and other resources. This new index is especially useful to practicing engineers because of its reference to the costs of various mining and metallurgical operations. The special feature is the list of references on cost which are distributed over and cover practically every phase of mining and refining. Reference to other subjects under which information may be obtained relative to a special subject in question allows the reader to gain a broader understanding of the subject at hand. Breaking up a paper or article into a number of references that are distributed under appropriate headings allows the reader to find the specific information required quickly and easily. The author performed the work without the aid of modern technology or assistants, so there may be some oversight. Despite its few imperfections, this exhaustive index is a valuable tool to anyone studying mining engineering, making its insights significant to the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
