This book presents a comprehensive reassessment of Europe in the
Cold War period, 1945-91. Contrary to popular belief, it shows that
relations between East and West were based not only on
confrontation and mutual distrust, but also on collaboration. The
authors reveal that - despite opposing ideologies - there was in
fact considerable interaction and exchange between different
Eastern and Western actors (such states, enterprises, associations,
organisations and individuals) irrespective of the Iron Curtain.
This book challenges both the traditional understanding of the
East-West juxtaposition and the relevancy of the Iron Curtain.
Covering the full period, and taking into account a range of
spheres including trade, scientific-technical co-operation, and
cultural and social exchanges, it reveals how smaller countries and
smaller actors in Europe were able to forge and implement their
agendas within their own blocs. The books suggests that given these
lower-level actors engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation,
often running counter to the ambitions of the bloc-leaders, the
rules of Cold War interaction were not, in fact, exclusively
dictated by the superpowers.

In large surface mining operations, drilling and blasting
activities constitute more than 15% of the total costs. In order to
optimize performance and minimize costs, a thorough knowledge of
drill and blast operations is, therefore, extremely important. In
this unique reference volume, rotary blasthole drilling and surface
blasting, as applied in large surface mines, are comprehensively
covered. Both new and classic concepts, techniques and
methodologies are presented, supported by numerous illustrations
and practical data. In 26 chapters, drilling, surface blasting,
rock, rock mass, machinery, tools and accessories, compressors and
air flushing, computing and practice are many other relevant
subjects are treated; the first 16 chapters deal with rotary
blasthole drilling, and the 10 next chapters with the concepts,
theory and practice of blasting. Moreover, the 14 appendices
provide vital technical and commercial data, to further support the
reader to design, plan, execute, and calculate blasthole drilling
operations. This volume is intended for professionals and
technicians in mining, exploration, geological and mechanical
engineering, who are involved with the design, planning, and
execution of rotary drilling and blasting operations in surface
mines.
