Synopsis
On April 5, 2010, an explosion ripped through Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine, killing twenty-nine coal miners. This tragedy was the deadliest mine disaster in the United States in forty years-a disaster that never should have happened. These deaths were rooted in the cynical corporate culture of Massey and its notorious former CEO Don Blankenship, and were part of an endless cycle of poverty, exploitation, and environmental abuse that has dominated the Appalachian coal fields since coal was first discovered there. And the cycle continues unabated as coal companies bury the most insidious dangers deep underground, all in search of higher profits, and hide the true costs from regulators, unions, and investors alike. But the disaster at Upper Big Branch goes beyond the coal fields of West Virginia. It casts a global shadow, calling into bitter question why coal miners in the United States are sacrificed to erect cities on the other side of the world, why the coal wars have been allowed to rage, polarizing the country, and how the world's voracious appetite for energy is satisfied at such horrendous cost. With Thunder On The Mountain, Peter A. Galuszka pieces together the true story of greed and negligence behind the tragedy at the Upper Big Branch mine. In doing so he has created a devastating portrait of an entire industry that exposes the coal-black motivations that led to the death of twenty-nine miners and fuel the ongoing war for the world's energy future. This new paper edition contains a foreword by Denise Giardina that provides an update on Massey Energy and Donald Blankenship, chairman and CEO of Massey Energy Company during the UBB disaster, and recounts her own experiences with Massey Energy and the United Mine Workers Association in the 1980s. This edition also includes a notes section and a bibliography., With a foreword by Denise Giardina On April 5, 2010, an explosion ripped through Massey Energy?s Upper Big Branch Mine, killing twenty-nine coal miners.

- g***r (659)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證Owner tried to help.
- n***r (25)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證It’s been over a month since I ordered this book and they still haven’t even shipped it. When I contacted them asking when it would be shipped, they made some lame excuse and still have not shipped it when we’re supposed to be shipped within 10 days. When I tried to get my money back, they refused to give it back. Do not buy from this person ever!
- a***i (18)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. The book I ordered took two weeks to arrive. I contacted the seller -- who wrote back, initially, to ask for more information -- and then heard NOTHING. I have no choice but to leave a bad review, as I am unable to get my money back and no longer need the book.
