| Summary |
Annotation. The traditional picture of mining firms operating with little regard for nature or local populations is, today, no longer accurate. Protection of the environment, of mine workers, and of nearby communities has become nearly as much a concern as putting "rock in the box." With case studies from Chile, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and the United States, this book shows how mining firms that are the most efficient in extracting minerals are also better at protecting the environment |
