Black Sands is the history of sand mining on the eastern coast of Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It covers the technical, business, and political aspects of mining. Apart from this thoroughness, the book is eminently readable, an important factor in publishing a book that deals with a highly technical subject. (Trove)
