(Ken Rothery & Steven Mellor 2007 pp268)

The first edition of this handbook, 'An Introduction to Crushing and Screening', written by Steve Mellor, has been thoroughly revised by Ken Rothery, a senior engineer who worked for one of the major aggregate producers for many years. Ken has used his experience of designing and commissioning crushing and screening plant to comprehensively review, up-date and extend the introductory text.

All of the latest technical innovations are described and the very important issues of health and safety in the working environment of a processing plant are fully addressed and up-dated to the date of publication. Much more information is given upon the performance, capacity and maintenance of crushing and screening equipment and advise is given upon obtaining full utilisation of processing plant and identifying faults. Finally, a new chapter is devoted to 'recycled aggregates'.

(Edited by Dr MR Smith & Dr MS Watkins. 2007)

This completely new title was produced during 2004 in response to the increasing concern of the general public over the potential environmental impacts of the quarrying industry and to assist the operating companies in mitigating these impacts and creating good relations with the local community.

The handbook comprises fourteen chapters, each written by an expert(s) in his/her field, which cover all the potential environmental impacts in terms of causes, science, mitigation, sources of guidance and advice and relevant legislation.

The comprehensive nature of the handbook is indicated by the titles of the chapters which are; Environmental Management Systems; The Protection and Management of Water Resources; Air Quality; Impacts, Monitoring and Controls; Traffic; Identification, Assessment and Mitigation of Visual Impacts due to Quarrying; Environmental effects of Quarry Blasting; Environmental Noise; Biodiversity; Geological Conservation; Waste Management; Energy Management; Archaeology; Contaminated Land and Recycling - Aggregates from a Sustainable Source.

The handbook was thoroughly revised and reprinted as the second edition in 2007.

(Andrew Littler and Stephen Millburn. 2007. pp 212.)

'Sand and Gravel Production' was first published in 1990 and proved to be the most popular handbook having sold nearly 2000 copies. It was revised and up-dated by Andy Littler, the original author, in 2001. The principal changes related to ripping, wet working by hydraulic excavators, scrubbers and log-washers, bucket wheel classifiers and de-slimers, control of classifiers and filter presses.

In 2007, Stephen Millburn, national production manager with a major operating company, up-dated the cost data, extended the discussion of silt treatment and water recovery and added a chapter on 'manufactured sand'.
