Book Description

Secondhand.Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

In 1964, one of the most important industrial projects in Bunbury and the South West of Western Australia opened its gates amid controversy.

Peter O’Shaughnessy provides an insider’s view of the Laporte titanium dioxide project's high’s and low’s, which utilised the black sands (ilmenite) being mined on local beaches to make the incredibly white titanium dioxide pigment used in paints, paper, plastics, cosmetics and even toothpaste.
