This tale of two citiesButte, Montana, and Chuquicamata,Chiletraces the relationship of capitalism and community acrosscultural,national, and geographic boundaries. Combining social history withethnography,Janet Finn shows how the development of copper mining set in motionparallelprocesses involving distinctive constructions of community, class, andgender inthe two widely separated but intimately related sites. While the richveins ofcopper in the Rockies and the Andes flowed for the giant AnacondaCompany, theminers and their families in both places struggled to make a life aswell as aliving for themselves. Miner's consumption, a popular name for silicosis, provides a powerfulmetaphorfor the danger, wasting, and loss that penetrated mining life. Finnexploresthemes of privation and privilege, trust and betrayal, and offers a newmodelfor community studies that links local culture and global capitalism. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly researched and written from the heart.
Having grown up in Butte Montana and being very familiar with Ms. Finns work, I cannot say enough about how valuable this book is in terms of telling the long-untold story of women in the mining community.

Her intense and thorough research is extraordinary and her heartfelt personal connection to the subjects she deals with make it an engrossing book. I recommend it to all who would understand the universal plight of women creating culture in a society which chose to largely ignore them - a society that could not have existed without them and their heroic efforts. ...

Book Description

Increasingly over the next few decades, the oil and gas industry faces the complex task of decommissioning its offshore platforms, pipelines and sub-sea equipment as they reach the end of their operational capabilities. Decommissioning involves and integrates many distinct aspects: engineering, environmental, economic, legal, political and safety considerations. A practical strategy for removing and disposing these structures needs to be developed which best meets the demands of all of these different aspects. Specialists in these various fields have been brought together for this volume to contribute their assessments of the situation. The result is an important step toward the development of a co-ordinated approach to the subject. It is essential reading for all those who are involved with major decommissioning projects, their possible environmental impact and their implications in politics and law. ... Read more
