Mining Encyclopedia
The Mining Encyclopedia (Ukrainian: Гірнича енциклопедія) is a comprehensive set of Ukrainian-language encyclopedias about the science and technology of mining. The encyclopedias were compiled by a team of earth scientists headed by Ukrainian researcher Volodymyr Biletskyy.
History
[edit]Biletskyy was the main author, editor, and project manager of the encyclopedia. He led about 150 leading earth scientists from Ukraine and abroad in writing the encyclopedias.[1] The first installment of the project, the Explanatory Dictionary of Mining (Ukrainian: Тлумачний гірничий словник) was published in print in 1998 by the Donetsk National Technical University and is available online.[2]
The second phase of the project involved the publication of the three-volume Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mining (Ukrainian: Гірничий енциклопедичний словник) between 2001 and 2004. This set contains 12,700 encyclopedic articles.[1]
The third stage involved the publication of the three-volume Concise Mining Encyclopedia (Ukrainian: Мала гірнича енциклопедія) between 2004 and 2013. This comprehensive set contains 17,350 entries with numerous illustrations.[a][1][3] This version of the encyclopedia is multilingual; all entries are written simultaneously in the Ukrainian, Russian, English, and German languages.[1][4]
VN Karazin Kharkiv National University nominated the Mining Encyclopedia for the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of education in 2017.[5]
