About This Item
Toronto ON: McClelland and Stewart Ltd, 1975. Reprint. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good -/No Jacket. 141 p.; reprint edition. VG-, some rubbing of edges & corners, interior clean and unmarked. "The fluorspar mines of Newfoundland take a heavy toll in human life. And the tragedy there is repeated around the world in mining and other industries, unrecognized, ignored, denied, covered up -- or dulled and made distant by neat columns of impersonal statistics." Elliott Leyton uses the techniques of anthropology to tell the stories of 10 miners and the terrible price they have paid for the "appalling, almost criminal irresponsibility of modern corporate industry." 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
