by Van Horssen, Jessica, 1980- author , Wynn, Graeme, 1946- writer of foreword in Asbestos mines and mining Quâebec (Province) Asbestos. , Asbestos mines and mining Environmental aspects Quâebec (Province) Asbestos. , Asbestos mines and mining Health aspects Quâebec (Province) Asbestos.
\"For decades, manufacturers from around the world relied on asbestos from the town of Asbestos, Quebec, to produce fire-retardant products. Then, over time, people learned about the mineral's devastating effects on human health. Dependent on this deadly industry for their community's survival, the residents of Asbestos developed a unique, place-based understanding of their local environment; the risks they faced living next to the giant opencast mine; and their place within the global resource trade. This book unearths the local/global tensions that defined Asbestos's proud and painful history to reveal the challenges similar resource communities have faced--and continue to face today.\"--Page 4 of cover.
