Pitfall : the race to mine the world's most vulnerable places / by Pollon, Christopher,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.'Pitfall' is the compelling story of the quest to exploit the metals our civilization needs-and the cost to local people and their environments. If we cannot change our course, Christopher Pollon argues, we are condemned to mine deeper and darker places, including the depths of the ocean, sacrifice zones, and near-earth asteroids. This disturbing vision of the future also includes robotic mines without workers and social license-unless we act now.
