About this book

Mining America: The Industry and Environment, 1800-1980 by Smith, Duane A.. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780870813061.

Mining America is a vivid account of the damage wrought by almost two centuries of mining, but its main focus is on the conflicting attitudes behind the destruction and on societys responses. Veteran author and historian Duane Smith asserts that the marriage of mining and environmental issues was bound to touch Americas sensitive pocketbook nerve - but the question now is, are all groups willing to pay the price?
