Containing contributions from authors across disciplines, the book addresses topics relevant to the region?s coal-mining history and its future; its human communities; and the soils, waters, plants, wildlife, and human-use potentials of Appalachia?s coal-mined landscapes. The book provides a comprehensive overview of coal mining?s legacy in Appalachia, USA. It book describes the resources of the Appalachian coalfield, its lands and waters, and its human communities ? as they have been left in the aftermath of intensive mining, drawing upon peer-reviewed science and other regional data to provide clear and objective descriptions. By understanding the Appalachian experience, officials and planners in other resource extraction- affected world regions can gain knowledge and perspectives that will aid their own efforts to plan and manage for environmental quality and for human welfare. Appalachia's Coal-Mined Landscapes: Resources and Communities in a New Energy Era will be of use to natural resource managers and scientists within Appalachia and in other world regions experiencing widespread mining, researchers with interest in the region?s disturbance legacy, and economic and community planners concerned with Appalachia?s future. 606 $aCoal mines and mining$xEnvironmental aspects$xAppalachian Region 606 $aNatural resources$xAppalachian Region$xManagement 606 $aCoal mines and mining$xAppalachian Region 615 0$aCoal mines and mining$xEnvironmental aspects$xAppalachian Region. 615 0$aNatural resources$xAppalachian Region$xManagement. 615 0$aCoal mines and mining$xAppalachian Region. 676 $a929.605 702 $aSkousen$b Jeff 702 $aZipper$b Carl E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484674903321 996 $aAppalachia's coal-mined landscapes$92572212 997 $aUNINA
