List members might find interest in the recently published
Part 13 of volume 5 of Joseph Needham's vast, 'Science and
Civilisation in China' series. This volume has been written
by Peter J. Golan and provides a 500 page review of Chinese
mining from the ancient to the modern period. It's published
by Cambridge UP and is probably expensive (though I don't
know the price).
