Kennedy B.A. Surface Mining

2nd edition. Colorado, United States: Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME), 1990. - 1206 p. - ISBN10: 0873351029; ISBN13: 9780873351027The first reference text on surface mining was published by the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, Inc., in 1968 and was appropriately titled "Surface Mining." Now, 22 years later, the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, Inc.
(formerly the Society of Mining Engineers of AIME) is publishing a completely new "Surface Mining" reference text.
The intent of this revised edition was to completely rewrite, expand, and update the first edition to provide both a reference book for the working engineer and a textbook for the mining student. This hardcover edition gives a brief history of surface mining and a general overview of the state of surface mining today-topics range from production and productivity to technological developments and trends in equipment.Bruce A.
