In 'A Text-book of Assaying: For the Use of Those Connected with Mines', J. J. Beringer and C. Beringer compile a comprehensive anthology that delves deep into the art and science of assaying. The collection stands out for its rigorous exploration of methodologies, a blend of theoretical and practical aspects tailored for professionals in the mining sector. This work is distinguished not only by its thematic focus but also by its scholarly depth, covering a wide range of techniques and materials. The precision in detailing chemical processes, alongside the examination of both metallic and non-metallic ores, demonstrates a remarkable breadth, making it a seminal piece within its field. The Beringers, with their profound expertise and academic backgrounds in metallurgy and mining engineering, anchor the collection in both historical tradition and the vanguard of technological advancement. Their collective work is informed by and contributes to ongoing developments in mineralogy and geochemistry, reflecting a broader scientific dialogue spanning from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Their contributions underscore the anthology's role in bridging traditional assaying practices with the evolving demands and methodologies of the time. This anthology is recommended for scholars, professionals, and enthusiasts within the geosciences and mining industries. Offering a lens into the meticulous practice of assaying through a diverse array of methods, 'A Text-book of Assaying' is an invaluable resource that fosters a deeper understanding of mineral analysis and its crucial role in mining operations. It invites readers to engage with a field that is as complex as it is critical to the extraction and processing of earth materials, providing a panoramic yet detailed survey of assayings foundational techniques and innovations.

This book provides a link between occupational health and clinical practice. Besides being a valuable starting point for health professionals with an interest in occupational medicine as well as those intending to specialize in occupational medicine, the book will be a useful guide for all those who are interested in occupational medicine practice, including medical students at various levels, occupational health nurses, general practitioners, and more senior professionals in occupational medicine. In other words, it is for all who have committed themselves to the best practice for the health of working people.
