This perspective, however, is quite interesting and knowing that the author is a dedicated, if not zealot researcher into this field, will probably (probably) cause me to go out and get a copy to read. Especially interesting is how this industry and story intertwines the world and keeps the engine of consumption rolling along with the byproduct of environmental and physical (for the workers) destruction for years to come.
Thanks for the heads up.
