Zusammenfassung:From cave-ins and lung diseases to toxic sludge and water contamination, mining operations create a host of social and environmental problems, now including climate change. Breaking Ground tells the story of mining conflicts in Latin America, where ore extraction has become a big business. Based on a decade of research in gold mining towns, corporate headquarters, and legislative chambers, Rose J.

This innovative study of the mining sector's rise and fall answers persistent questions about the political logistics shaping the future of resource extraction
