pp. 249, “The mountains of Appalachia are home to one of the great forests of the world – scientists refer to it as the ‘rain forest’ of North America because it predates the Ice Age and continues to host a remarkable density of diverse species. These mountains also hold the mother lode of American coal. With the advent of strip mining, the future of these lush forests, and the creatures that inhabit them, are in severe jeopardy. Journalist Erik Reece chronicles the year he spent witnessing the systematic decimation of a single mountain in Kentucky. With this book, Reece becomes an eloquent spokesman for these dying mountains.”
