Beautiful Book

I had to buy this book for a class but I decided right away, that it wouldn't be one that I would sell back. The photographs, which make up most of the book, are amazing. The book also tells the stories of the coal miners, their families, and the people who deal with serious issues. There are stories and photos of miners on strike about black lung andwomen holding back dump trucks on their way to strip mine just to name two. This book's photos are amazing and they really make this book. I would reccomend this book to people interested in the real people of Appalachia and their very real struggles.
