Human rights law in the UK Book

I learned a little about Herbert Hoover, but I learned a TON about early 20th century mining. If those tow facts were reversed, I would have been far more pleased with this book. I came into this trying to get some background on Hoover, prior to his days in public office. While I did get some information, and I look forward to examining his presidency, the amount of information on the mining industry from the late 1800s to the 1910s was just plain sleep inducing. In what I can only term insomnia curing detail, Nash makes sure the reader knows every dollar invested, spent, and lost in a myriad of mining projects from Australia to China to Africa. Just not a great ready, but I have to respect the detail that it contains.
