Description

A global exposé of the business of mining—a flashpoint for crucial questions around climate change, the clean energy transition, environmental protection, and Indigenous rights. Author takes an insightful and fair approach that acknowledges realities and trade-offs—not a defense of mining or an anti-mining screed, it can be read by everyone from environmental activists to those in the mining business. Told through engaging storytelling; a rare book on the subject written for general readers, not experts (most books about mining are academic or technical). Author has reported on mining for decades. He has doggedly covered the global mining beat for most of his career.
