Closing thoughts.Coal mining in the East Neuk of Fife was the means of providing industrial development in this area from medieval times until the twentieth century. The understanding of the rocks, their origin and how to exploit them to advantage forms the basis for this text. In the early days of the industry, the coals were recovered on the shorelines or on the valley sides where their excavation was relatively simple. The mining of the coals gradually gave rise to the need to dig deeper into the ground and the need for knowledge of the rocks became essential, how and why they formed as they did and how to cope with the difficulties presented by the turbulent events experienced in past geological times.. The welfare of the miners and their families also grew in importance as the industry grew and developed. John McManus surveys the geology and social history of the mines and the people who explored, owned and laboured under and above ground in an industry which began so many centuries ago, flourished all too briefly and ultimately declined in this area. With his lifelong interest and scholarly achievement in his chosen profession, John McManus takes the reader on a graphic and fascinating tour of the mining industry in this beautiful part of Fife shining a different light on aspects of its history which have, until now, remained less well known.Coal mines and miningCoal mines and mining.622.334McManus John937062MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794818903321Coal mining in the East Neuk of Fife3690946UNINA03226nam 22006615 450 991025425190332120200706195351.09783319322070331932207910.1007/978-3-319-32207-0(CKB)3710000000651926(SSID)ssj0001665854(PQKBManifestationID)16455054(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001665854(PQKBWorkID)15000665(PQKB)10944824(DE-He213)978-3-319-32207-0(MiAaPQ)EBC5587196(Au-PeEL)EBL5587196(OCoLC)948679683(PPN)193444283(EXLCZ)99371000000065192620160429d2016 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtccrInnovative Approaches and Solutions in Advanced Intelligent Systems /edited by Svetozar Margenov, Galia Angelova, Gennady Agre1st ed. 2016.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (XIII, 334 p. 143 illus., 101 illus. in color.)Studies in Computational Intelligence,1860-949X ;648Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9783319322063 3319322060 Advanced Computing -- Language Semantic And Content Technologies -- Signal And Image Processing -- Optimisation And Intelligent Control.This volume is a selected collection of papers presented and discussed at the International Conference “Advanced Computing for Innovation (AComIn 2015)”. The Conference was held at 10th -11th of November, 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria and was aimed at providing a forum for international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world on several fundamental topics of computational intelligence. The papers report innovative approaches and solutions in hot topics of computational intelligence – advanced computing, language and semantic technologies, signal and image processing, as well as optimization and intelligent control.Studies in Computational Intelligence,1860-949X ;648Computational intelligenceArtificial intelligenceComputational Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Computational intelligence.Artificial intelligence.Computational Intelligence.Artificial Intelligence.006.3Margenov Svetozaredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAngelova Galiaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAgre Gennadyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254251903321Innovative Approaches and Solutions in Advanced Intelligent Systems1542863UNINA
