MINE-FIELD

Book ID/图书代码： 01899513B61504

English Summary/英文概要： ’It is not a case of governments and companies putting royalties and profits before people; instead it is as though people don’t matter at all ...’ In Mine-Field, Paul Cleary counts the true cost of Australia’s mineral addiction. Whether it be coal-seam gas, LNG or coal mega-mines, a resources rush is happening in just about every productive corner of our country. Yet at the same time oversight and regulation have been hollowed out. High-risk projects are being approved without proper assessment of the long-term consequences. Water resources, farmland and national parks are under threat, and people, communities and industries are being steamrolled. A ground-breaking piece of reporting by the author of Too Much Luck, Mine-Field plots the dubious networks created and greased by mining companies to get their projects through, and exposes regulatory gaps that must be addressed to prevent enormous and irreversible harm to our society and environment. ’Mine-Field provides a warts-and-all, no-holds-barred view of Australia’s mining industry. It is a must-read for anyone making an informed judgement on where our nation is going.’ Tony Windsor ’This important book is compelling in its storytelling and chilling in its facts. It storms into the mining debate with a clarion call for more effective regulation. If you read it, you can’t help joining the chorus.’ Geoff Cousins

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “这不仅仅是政府和公司把自己的财税收入放在人民面前，而是根本不把人民当回事……”在《矿区》一书里,保罗．克利瑞为我们统计了毫无节制的开矿带来的代价。无论是煤层气、天然气还是大型煤矿,资源开发的浪潮席卷了国家每一个角落。与此同时，监督和监管却是失效的。高风险项目被轻易的批准了，没有评估其长期开采将带来的影响。水资源、耕地和国家公园正面临威胁,人、社区和产业的结合被粉碎了。作者这一建设性的报告也许能给人们带来好运,矿区的划分正是由于监管的空白，矿业公司为使自己的项目通过一手制造并且掌握。我们必须去改变，阻止更多对社会以及环境造成更深更不可逆的伤害。“《矿区》一书为大家认识澳大利亚矿产业提供了深入全面的视角。任何一个想了解我们国家正处于什么状态的人都值得读一下这本书。”托尼•温莎，“这是一本重要的书，无论是它的故事架构还是令人震惊的事实内容。这在矿产业中引起了振动，并吹起了监管的号角。如果你读了这本书，你会毫不犹豫地加入呼喊的阵营中。”Geoff Cousi(LNL)
