Publisher's Synopsis
- 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.
