"Excellent examination of the coal industry, the politics of coal, and the impact on the environment (the environment including, of course, all the people coal kills). Well written."
"This book inspired my Master's Thesis on abandoned mine remediation in Pennsylvania. It is wonderfully written and conveys the reality of coal and its impact. A must read for those who care about the environment and energy. And those who don't."
