Big Coal: Australia's Dirtiest Habit by Guy Pearse, David McKnight, Bob Burton

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Faint mark on right foredge. Original price sticker on back cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

A look at the underbelly of an industry whose power continues to soar even as its expansion feeds catastrophic climate change, this work dissects the Australian coal industry's influence to publicly, and behind closed doors, get its way and how we can move to a sustainable, prosperous future.

The book exposes the myth of clean coal and the taxpayer-funded public relations machine behind it while laying bare the desolation in regional Australia as prime farming land, the fabric of communities, and much else is stripmined along with the coal.
