Swank also explores the social and economic impact of these industries, including the growth of towns and cities, the rise of labor unions, and the impact on the environment.Throughout the book, Swank draws on a wealth of primary sources, including government reports, industry publications, and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive and detailed history of these critical industries.
