An Open Pit Visible From The Moon (The Environment In Modern North America) (Volume 2)

An Open Pit Visible from the Moon tells the story of this historic struggle to define the contours of the Wilderness Act--its possibilities and limits. Combining rigorous analysis and deft storytelling, Adam M. Sowards re-creates the contest between Kennecott and its shareholders on one hand and activists on the other, intent on maintaining wilderness as a place immune to the calculus of profit.
