Charlie Hughes -- Wind Publications, April 14, 2006 (view all comments by Charlie Hughes -- Wind Publications)
Of course I'd rate it 5 -- I published it. The book is a collection of essays, newspaper articles, personal accounts, short stories and poems which address the devastation of the Appalachian Mountains by mountaintop removal coal mining. Much of eastern Kentucky and West Virginia is being converted into a vast wasteland by this environmentally irresponsible method of extracting coal. Half the electricity in the US is generated from the burning of coal. The reader will come away from this book with a better understanding of the true cost of cheap electricity.
