Western Mining in the Twentieth Century : Oral History Series : U. S. Potash Company, U. S. Borax, 1933-1962 / 1986 (1989)

The oral history series on Western Mining in the Twentieth Century
documents the lives of leaders in mining, metallurgy, geology, education in
the earth and materials sciences, mining law, and the pertinent government
bodies. The field includes metal, non-metal, and industrial minerals, but not
petroleum.

Mining has changed greatly in this century: in the technology and
technical education; in the organization of corporations; in the perception of
the national strategic importance of minerals; in the labor movement; and in
consideration of health and environmental effects of mining.
