SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The world of international mining is changing rapidly. Mining corporations are encroaching on more and more greenfield sites in Africa, the Asia-Pacific and Latin America, to serve ever-expanding global industries. Moody shows that large-scale mining imposes a heavy toll on local communities, on their fragile economies and ways of life, as well as the environment. He challenges the mining corporations' recent public relations offensive extolling the virtues of large-scale mining and its alleged compatibility with sustainable development, and reveals the unprecedented wave of community and trad.
