This review is from: Blown to Bits in the Mine (Hardcover)
Covers the history of explosives in mining, from black powder thru high explosives to modern ANFO, with a primary emphasis on western hard-rock practice and dynamite type explosives.
The book is well written, and at the right level of detail to be comprehensible and interesting to a layman somewhat knowledgable in mining history. Unfortunately the book suffers from very poor production, with many illustrations being scaled in strange ways, typographical errors, and sections of missing or repeated text. The quality of the author's writing deserved a better quality of reproduction. |
