By creatively interpreting a rich collection of coal company photographs, Buckley helps us better understand the power and meaning of mining in everyday early twentieth-century life. Buckley shows vividly how seemingly dull institutional photographs produced to chronicle the construction of mines and company towns may also be read as haunting images of early twentieth century environmental degradation....a rich exploration of how historical photographs may be mined for clues to the complex contexts in which they were produced, reproduced, and circulated.
Geoffrey L. Buckley is a professor in the department of geography and the Program in Environmental Studies at Ohio University. He is the author of Extracting Appalachia: Images of the Consolidation Coal Company, 19101945 and Americas Conservation Impulse: Saving Trees in the Old Line State.
