Mountain justice : homegrown resistance to mountaintop removal, for the future of us all / [Tricia Shapiro].

Mountaintop removal (MTR) does exactly what it says: a mountaintop is stripped of trees, blown to bits with explosives, then pushed aside by giant equipment--all to expose a layer of coal to be mined. Hundreds of thousands of acres of ancient forested mountains have been "removed" this way...

520 |a Mountaintop removal (MTR) does exactly what it says: a mountaintop is stripped of trees, blown to bits with explosives, then pushed aside by giant equipment--all to expose a layer of coal to be mined.

Mountain Justice tells a terrific set of firsthand stories about living with MTR and offers on-the-scene--and behind.
