Product Description Fracking is one of the most controversial methods of fossil fuel extraction in the United States, but a great deal about it remains out of the public eye. In Wisconsin it has ignited an unprecedented explosion in the states sand mining operations, an essential ingredient in hydraulic fracturing that has shaken local communities to the core.In When the Hills Are Gone, Thomas W. Pearson reveals the jolting impact of sand mining on Wisconsins environment and politics. A source of extraordinary wealth for a lucky few, and the cause of despoiled land for many others, sand mining has raised alarm over air quality, water purity, noise, blasting, depressed tourism, and damage to the local way of life. It has also spurred a backlash in a grassroots effort that has grown into a mature political movement battling a powerful mining industry.When the Hills Are Gone tells the story of Wisconsins sand mining wars. Providing ontheground accounts from both the mining industry and the concerned citizens who fought back, Pearson blends social theory, ethnography, stirring journalism, and his own passionate point of view to offer an essential chapter of Wisconsins history and an important episode in the national environmental movement. Digging deep into the struggles over place, community, and local democracy that are occurring across the United States, When the Hills Are Gone gives vital insight into Americas environmental battles along the unexpected frontlines of energy development.
