Review History 210 Thomas Dublin and Walter Licht. 2005. The Face of Decline: The Pennsylvania Anthracite Region in the Twentieth Century. Cornell University Press. The Face of Decline proceeds with the chronological coverage from the start of the mines/mining industry to the decline of the mines/mining industry. First, the book gave a very clear and concise description of the different topics that would be discussed. Also, they discuss how many people’s lives were affected from the mining industry

based on textile factories, steel mills, and new inventions. The mechanization of America required an energy source, and that energy source was coal. Diane Gilliam Fisher, a sixty-one-year-old American poet, uses her poems in Kettle Bottom to tell the world about the mining community. Kettle Bottom by Diane Fisher explores the history of West Virginia coal miners’ struggle against mine owners as the miners fight for better working conditions and pay, the emotional strain on the miners and their families

Beijing, China has a coal mining history of nearly 800 and some odd years. This has been a major air pollutant and the main reason for it is because its economy has grown substantially in the last 30 years. Worldwide, there are twenty cities with the highest, worst air pollution, sixteen of those cities are within China alone. The main causes of Beijing’s air pollution can be pointed to several factors. Large economical growth, an increase in vehicles on the roads, growth in population, and manufacturing

Introduction Coal is king. The coal industry controls the economy of states, and states rely on it for electricity. However, many families involved in the industry of coal are experiencing profound economic difficulty. This must be resolved to improve the economic disparity in West Virginia, a state known for a large coal mining industry. Many mining families experience this economic difficulty, particularly due to health risks and job situations. Much research has been done into the effects of

mines/mining industry to the decline of the mines/mining industry. First, the book gave a very clear and concise description of the different topics that would be discussed. Also, they discuss how many people’s lives were affected from the mining industry. According to the many different details listed throughout the book, the book focused generally on the importance of the coal mines, the employees, and the hard times that everyone went through during the rising and declining on the mining regions

practices and policies relating to mountaintop coal mining, evaluate and analyze current research on the impact of coal mining on human health, and provide recommendations for further research guided by logic and in agreement with biblical truth. Review of Past Practices and Policies Broad form Deeds Coal mining is not new to the Appalachian region. Miners have been working the rich coal fields of Appalachia for generations.14, 17 The first coal mines in these states were small, local owned operations

down to descendants. The behavior of heritage protection is a process of inheritance. Heritage protection not only conserves precious historical places and objects, but also provides the authentic environments for people to experience and research history. The valued and diverse heritage can bring a great impact on people’s behavior and feeling. Industrial heritage, as an essential part of heritage, has become a booming industry in Western countries. Industrial heritage is the materialized symbol

Hewison claimed that as an industry dies, the heritage solution is gradually applied. Depending on the developing process of coal industry, it seems that it is too early to talk about the development of industrial heritage of coal in China. However, in fact, industrial heritage of coal has already become an infant industry in this country. For example, Haizhou Colliery in Liaoning province is the biggest open pit coalmine in Asia. It was explored in 1897, and in 1953, this colliery was used again

Creek Hollow was a small valley that consisted of about seventeen coal Communities that was adjacent to Buffalo Creek. When operation of the mine commenced in 1945 the practice dumping of slurry or coal mining waste into the hollow also began. Coal companies who operated upstream of the communities dammed Buffalo Creek to facilitate mining operations, which created an earth dam that held back 130 million gallons of water and coal waste. On average, a thousand tons of slurry had to be dumped every

Massacre of 1914 is one of the bloodiest strike in the American labor history. Historians have debated whether the event was a massacre of innocent lives caused by the Colorado Fuel & Iron (CF&I) or as a battle between the company workers and the company militiamen. The CF&I stated that the event was an act of its workers to demilitarize the company and to prevent importation of “strikebreakers”. However, Thomas Andrews’ Killing for Coal: America’s Deadliest Labor War introduces the concept of workscape
