Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines mine tragedies over the last two centuries, particularly analyzing accidents caused by explosions, falls and shoddy equipment. The author seeks to show that many of these might have been avoided, and points to the many insightful and practical reforms suggested over the years through inquiries into these disasters that have never been taken up. The author says that the historical record reveals that the causes of these accidents are not often adequately investigated to this day and argues that this needs to change so that the safety of mineworkers is given the priority it deserves.
