Rush That Never Ended A History of Australian Mining Book

A wonderful book, dense with information. Deserves a second reading to glean it all. But what can you expect from a history of mining in a major mining country done in under 400 pages? Well written and entertaining. My only beef with it, is that if you read the back cover you will get something different than you were expecting (expecting somewhat more modern coverage). Over ~95% of the book covers mining history up through 1930...with the majority of that being the in the 1800's. Only the last 20 pages or so really touch on more modern deposits, and very brief coverage is given to each site. My desire to learn more about Australia is blooming, especially as we consider going there to work. Thanks for great maps on the front and back covers, I feel pretty decent in Australian geography now....should be a requirement for all books! Excellent book, highly recommend.
