Book Description
For seventy-one years, iron ore was mined at Wabana, Bell Island: half the output was used in Canada; the other half was shipped around the world. When the mine shut down on June 30, 1966, it was Canada's oldest, continuously operating iron mine. The miners worked three miles under the ocean in Conception Bay, in what was, during its lifetime, the world's most extensive submarine iron mine. This is the story of the miners, of their workday, of the conditions in the mines, the story of the horses and the rats, of the fun that relieved the tedium and of the tragedies.

Book Description
A collection of three dozen interviews conducted with gay men ranging in age from 24 to 84 who grew up in the rural Midwest, uncovering a much neglected aspect of the gay experience. The stories are at times touching and also deeply disturbing as they reminisce about the rigid gender roles common to farming communities, social isolation, racism, religious conservatism, and little information to help them make sense of their identities. The other side of the coin is the deep and loving feelings these men have for the land, their families, communities, and churches. Told sometimes from urban exile, and sometimes from the middle of the field, all the interviews have a brave openness in common. Lacks an index.

Book Description
The fluorspar mines of Newfoundland take a heavy toll in human life. And the tragedy there is repeated around the world in mining and other industries, unrecognized, ignored, denied, covered up - or dulled and made distant by neat columns of impersonal statistics. But Dying Hard doesn't use statistics. Instead, it presents ten unembellished accounts of individual agony, poverty and physical ruin - ten stories that could be ten thousand and that owe their gruesome reality to the appalling, almost criminal irresponsibility of modern corporate industry and the blind indifference of modern legislation. Stark simplicity and raw emotional impact endow these accounts with a nearly poetic eloquence that can only stoke the fires of outrage they are sure to spark. Exerting an overpowering hold on the reader that is rare in any kind of book, Dying Hard is a shocking and indignant challenge to the conscience and humanity not just of Canada but of all nations, an outraged cry of protestand concern on behalf of workers victimized alike throughout the modern world.
