Book excerpt: What happens when fossil fuels run out? How do communities and cultures survive? Central Appalachia and south Wales were built to extract coal, and faced with coal's decline, both regions have experienced economic depression, labor unrest, and out-migration. After Coal focuses on coalfield residents who chose not to leave, but instead remained in their communities and worked to build a diverse and sustainable economy. It tells the story of four decades of exchange between two mining communities on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and profiles individuals and organizations that are undertaking the critical work of regeneration. The stories in this book are told through interviews and photographs collected during the making of After Coal, a documentary film produced by the Center for Appalachian Studies at Appalachian State University and directed by Tom Hansell. Considering resonances between Appalachia and Wales in the realms of labor, environment, and movements for social justice, the book approaches the transition from coal as an opportunity for marginalized people around the world to work toward safer and more egalitarian futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The booming coal industry of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the main reason behind the creation of modern south Wales and its miners were central to shaping the economics, politics and society of south Wales during the twentieth century. This book explores the history of these miners between 1964 and 1985, covering the concerted run-down of the coal industry under the Wilson government, the growth of miners’ resistance, and the eventual defeat of the epic strike of 1984-5. Their interactions with the wider trade union movement and society during these years meant the miners were amongst the most important strategically-located sections of the British workforce during this time. The South Wales Miners is the first full-length academic study of the miners and their union in the later twentieth century, in a tumultuous period of crisis and struggle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coals of South Wales: With Special Reference to the Origin and Distribution of Anthracite Preparations for this Memoir on the Coals of South Wales were commenced in 1901, when Sir Archibald Geikie was Director-General of the Geological Survey, and the collection of material has proceeded since that date, as circumstances allowed. Though obviously incomplete, in the sense that analyses might be multiplied indefinitely, the work had so far progressed in 1907 as to lead to a more or less definite opinion as to the relative distribution of anthracitic and bituminous coals, and as to the origin of the difference between them. The time appeared, therefore, to have arrived for publication of the results, though admittedly a larger number of analyses would add precision to the generalisations, and illustrate more fully certain seams and certain parts of the coalfield. Necessarily there was much doubt at its inception what form the investigation should take. That each seam should be examined separately, and its modifications traced step by step from the bituminous into the anthracitic region, was clear. It was desirable also that all analyses should be made on a uniform system. For various reasons, explained in the following pages, it was impossible to follow fully so ideal a scheme. Samples of coal were not always procurable from the desired seam or locality, while a large number of analyses, the accuracy of which there was no reason to doubt, would have been inadmissible. Eventually it was decided that while special attention was being devoted to certain seams, opportunities ought not to be lost of getting specimens of others which happened to be accessible. Difficulty arose also from the natural reluctance of the colliery proprietors to consent to the publication of coal-analyses over which they had had no control. This was overcome by the assistance kindly rendered by the South Wales Institute of Engineers. Not only was an arrangement made with the proprietors under which specimens could be collected and analyses published, but through Mr. Jones Price, Secretary to the Institute, we were kept informed where specimens could be procured.
