This book has been thoroughly researched from primary sources and is written in a straightforward narrative style. It is a co-publication with 'Forth Naturalist' and 'Historian'.This is Stephen Moreton's first book. He is the author of many, articles, reviews, patents and research papers on mineralogy, mining history and chemistry.
