Název v původním jazyce

Mineral Resources in Iceland: Coal Mining

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Iceland is known as &quot;the land of fire and ice&quot;. Those who become to know this country intimately, however, can see that even the island?s inhabitants are full of fire. They are hearty, honest, and proud of their ancestors. The book &quot;Mineral Resources in Iceland - Coal Mining&quot; is dedicated to Icelandic men and women involved in prospecting and mining of Icelandic coal deposits in times of the First and Second World Wars. Their effort helped the nation survive cruel periods of war commercial blockades. The book is the first to provide a self-contained overview of the history of coal mining in Iceland, including extensive introductory chapters on the geology of the island and the origin of coal-bearing formations. History of exploratory works, mining methods, and mining companies also find their place in the book. The focal point, however, lies in the description of individual coal mines ranging from the largest systems of adits and galleries of commercial origin to small pits utilized by local farmers. Besides its historical-economic aspect, the book is of great significance for the support of geoheritage and the promotion and protection of inanimate nature. The book is intended for a wide spectrum of readers, such as historians, anthropologists, geologists, paleontologists, climatologists, and the general public interested in the history and nature of this beautiful Nordic country.
