The Economy of a Coal Field presents an authoritative look at how geology and mining shape towns, wealth, and daily life in Yorkshire’s coal districts.
It explains why coal districts matter beyond fuel, showing how mineral resources influence population, industry, and local prosperity. The work ties practical mining issues to broader questions about transport, exploitation, and public records, offering a clear guide for societies that study and manage mineral wealth.
Ideal for readers interested in industrial history, geology, mining, and the economic development of coal regions.
