Mass destruction
the men and giant mines that wired America and scarred the planet
Book - 2009
Mass Destruction is the story of Daniel Jackling and the development of open-pit hard rock mining, its role in the wiring of an electrified America, and its devastating environmental effects. This new method of mining, complimenting the mass production and mass consumption that came to define the "American way of life" in the early twentieth century, promised infinite supplies of copper and other natural resources.
