Education & Reference Science & Nature Business & Economics
The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy by Ian Duncan is a 1993 illustrated reference that charts a century of mining innovation across Australia and New Zealand. Vintage hardcover, 398 pages, packed with period maps, charts and photographs that bring the industry’s story to life.
Ideal for engineers, geologists, historians and mineral collectors, this volume distils technical milestones, environmental shifts and economic impact into one authoritative desk book. The clear layout and generous visuals make it easy to dip into for quick facts or deeper research.
This previously owned copy shows gentle shelf wear: light cover scuffs and a small tear at the bottom edge of the rear board, noted for accuracy. Inside, the pages are crisp, unmarked and firmly bound, free of smoke odour and ready for immediate use.
A scarce centenary keepsake from the AusIMM conference, it belongs on the shelf of anyone fascinated by mining heritage, Australiana or industrial history. Secure this illustrated edition while it’s available.
