Coal-Mining Economics [antikvár]

PREFACE It has been suggested that the technieal expert is today at a stage of graduation into an administrator. This book, it is hoped, may assist in interweaving administrative with technical ability in the coal-mining^lndustry. The recognition of the need for this com-bination is evidenced by papers on organization, management and kindred subjects in the professional examinations and in the in-creasing attention paid to these subjects in applied science courses at the Universities and Technical Colleges. The book attempts an elementary generál survey of the field as a basis for further detailed reading of more specialized works. It is intended for students taking examinations leading to National and Higher National Certificates and Diplomás in Mining; Associate Membership of the Institution of Mining Engineers and degrees in Mining at the Universities.
