With only a handful of British coalmines remaining active and with targets set to reduce carbon emissions, the coal industry now seems to be heading towards extinction. Yet, it was coal that turned Britain into a world-leader during the Industrial Revolution and established the conditions for the modern state. In the 20th century, it generated building programmes on a massive scale concerning miners’ welfare, settlements, and housing.

The form, space, organisation, and aesthetics of architecture became of critical importance not just to the process of the industry’s modernisation but also how it was perceived and understood both within and outside its workforce. But despite the centrality of coal mining and its workers to the development of modern Britain, as well as the contemporary recognition that aspects of its innovative architecture received, its built legacy has often been overlooked and physically almost completely erased.

Divided into three parts, this is the first book which provides a critical and comprehensive examination of the architecture of coal in Britain and how it responded to the needs of the industry and, perhaps more significantly, its labour force.

This stuff works!!
I suffer from skin rashes underneath my breast. I’ve been prescribed a couple of different ointment/creams to use, one even had a steroid in it. They would clear the rash up after about a week. It was very gradual. I remembered buying this very cheap pain rub from the dollar store and it worked better than anything I’d paid $$ for. While searching on line for this pain rub I saw this Natrulo Skin Repair ointment. After reading the ingredients and reviews I decided to try it. I applied it as soon as it arrived. It went on smoothly and it did sting a little on some of the places where I had scratched. I applied it again that night after my shower and right before bed because it was really red underneath there. That was on a Monday, by Wednesday the redness was gone and so were the scratches! This stuff really works! Fast!!

It works.
I was skeptical of this product because of how I intended to use it. Sometimes, especially in summer, moisture accumulates in the crease of my legs (where they attach to my body). And, as a result, I get severely chafed to the point of breaking skin and bleeding (or at least seeping serum). I figured this could just wash away in the moisture. But, it didn't. I did very meticulous cleaning and drying and then applied this ointment. At least twice daily. And in just a few days my skin was healing. I'd say less than a week and I was back to normal. Highly recommended.

Great skin relief, but not Vegan.
Great product but it's not Vegan. As a nutritioist and vegetarian, I'm aware that true Vegans do not eat/use anything containing animals or animal by-producs. This contains beeswax which makes it vegetarian but not Vegan. That is the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5. I bought this to use on 2 small patches of dry/scaly skin on my face. Everything else always says "itch relief" and contains strong chemicals which I prefer to not use, especially on my face. After just a couple weeks, the scaly skin is gone and the red is getting lighter every day. It smells very nice as well.

Not What I thought
This product came in a very small jar. The product looks exactly like Vaseline. This is supposed to help skin repair and itch. After a week it did Ineither!. I'm sorry but that's how I found this product, not what I wanted.
