About the book >.>.> For nearly 4000 years tin has been mined in Cornwall and traded the length and breadth of Europe. Without Cornish tin added to copper there would have been no Bronze Age and history would be very different. Stable and non-toxic tin is also an essential ingredient in other alloys such as pewter and brass. Could we survive without tin cans tinplate and electronic solder for microcircuits? If tin was valued as highly as silver or gold Cornwall would be another Eldorado. In the 19th century large fortunes were made and lost in the 20th century many mines struggled to survive.
