Gerüste Und Hilfskonstruktionen Im Historischen Baubetrieb: Geheimnisse Der Bautechnikgeschichte. (Scaffolding and Auxiliary Constructions in Historical Building Operations: Secrets of Construction History)

Abstract

pit closures and other fundamental changes to the lives of miners and whole mining communities. Although academic in style, these interviews not only lighten the read but inform in a way no amount of theoretical context can do. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in how workers, resources, politics and technology interact. Although not a book much concerned with the technology of mining as such, the very significant changes in coal mining methods in the post-war period from pick and shovel to highly mechanised systems, were the backdrop against which everyone concerned was making decisions.
