Mining in New Mexico—The Environment, Water, Economics, and Sustainable Development

Edited by L. Greer Price, Doulas Bland, Virginia T. McLemore, and James M. Barker

Mining has played a significant role in the history and develop- ment of New Mexico and continues to play an important role in the state's economic prosperity. The future of this industry will depend upon achieving a balance between our needs and desires, the changing economy, and our growing concern over environmental and social issues. This anthology of 30 articles is a timely look at some of those science and policy issues. 176 pages with tables, diagrams, maps, and color photographs throughout.
