Hello there,
I'm writing from Oxford University Press, as I thought that subscribers to this listserv would be interested to hear about our upcoming mining title,The Riches Beneath our Feet: How Mining Shaped Britain.
The author, Geoff Coyle, is an alumnus of the Royal School of Mines at Imperial College London. The book details the history of mining in Britain, from the early flint mines to the present day. Coyle looks at the history of a wide range of minerals, including copper, tin, china clay, lead, zinc, slate, granite, limestone, salt, coal, and iron. The book focusses on the tales of miners' lives, their work, the conditions, and mining disasters. Geoff, as a former mining engineer and from a mining family, is well supremely qualified to tell this story, and weaves his personal experience and passion into the book, illuminating the industrial history, geology, and technology. The book closes on the present state and future possibilities for British mining.
You can find more information on this title on the Oxford University Press website, at http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199551293.do?keyword=9780199551293&sortby=bestMatches.
I hope you find this information of interest, and naturally, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have about the book.
Kind regards,
