Great detailed information on surface and underground mining.

This is one of the most informative books on Mining Engineering I have purchased. Over all, easy to follow an it could be read as a refresher book or by one who knows nothing about Mining Engineering

Not bad as an introductory book. If you know virtually nothing about the field it will give you a flyover at 50,000 feet kind of an overview. It lacks a glossary though which in my opinion is essential. I found it lacking in terms of connecting some of the dots between complicating factors and solutions that lead to a change in mining trends that had to be answered by other texts and classes throughout my degree. I was much more impressed with this the first time I read through it than I was after I read through it again towards the tail end of my degree, but then again I knew nothing about mining when I started as a freshman. For the amount of money this text is I guess I expected a bit more.

excellent introductory book

our son received an email from his university professor with a requirement to be prepared for the first day of classes with this text book in hand. We were flying out to Reno in 3 days and the university book store did not carry this book. We went to amazon, ordered the text book and it arrived the next day ready for his trip out west.
