About this product
Product Information
The Iron Range earned its name honestly: it was once among the world's richest iron ore mining districts. The Iron Range propelled the U.S. steel industry in the late nineteenth century, and iron mining sustained generations in the region with work and a strong economy. But long before most other parts of the country faced the realities of industri

Reviews
"One of the most fascinating and detailed accounts ever of the challenges faced over the years by the mining industry in northeastern Minnesota."-- Ely Timberjay "Manuel brings years of research about the taconite industry without the local Iron Range baggage and biases."-- Minnesota Brown "Solidly researched, clearly structured, and profusely illustrated, Taconite Dreams highlights a paradoxical feature of modern capitalism, the rapid devaluation of formerly powerful industrial complexes."-- Labour/Le Travail " Taconite Dreams is well researched and written, and it draws good comparisons to similar postindustrial regions facing decline."-- Environmental History "The book stands out for the depth of its perspective on issues shaping other post-industrial places in the United States and around the world. Manuel effectively shows the economic and social changes behind shifts in policies that led to the current roles of mining, tourism, and other industries in this region."-- Minnesota History "A highly readable and sympathetic but neutral examination of a crisis period in the author's home state. The photos help the reader to visualize the range, the technology, and the people. Beyond the recapturing of the history of the range in the twentieth century, important as that is, Taconite Dreams reminds those who have forgotten and informs those who never knew, of the downside of the postindustrial economy."-- Technology and Culture, " Taconite Dreams is an important contribution to the national and international history of industrial decline. By taking us to the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota, Jeffrey T. Manuel connects the resource frontier to the large cities of the industrial heartland--an analysis that is long overdue."--Steven High, Concordia University " Taconite Dreams is a great example of how, when undertaken intelligently, local historical studies can have global reach. Jeffrey T. Manuel provides a mirror for communities across the world, from the mining regions of South Africa to the oil fields of North Dakota, through which they can assess the opportunities and threats contained in economic development strategies that rely on extractive industries. This book challenges not only planners, politicians, and labor activists, but also we public historians who construct images of the past that might influence debates about future development strategies."--Peter Rachleff, Executive Director, East Side Freedom Library "In Taconite Dreams , Jeffrey T. Manuel has done something difficult and truly important. He's built a historical bridge from the nostalgic, often over-romanticized early days of iron mining to the all-too-real struggles of our present Iron Range region. He takes the controversial issues of economic decline, environmental impact, and cultural struggles and provides a clear-eyed assessment of how things got this way and what it might mean for the future."--Aaron Brown, journalist, author, and host of public radio's Great Northern Radio Show, "One of the most fascinating and detailed accounts ever of the challenges faced over the years by the mining industry in northeastern Minnesota."-- Ely Timberjay "Manuel's book should join the required reading list."-- Project Muse "Manuel brings years of research about the taconite industry without the local Iron Range baggage and biases."-- Minnesota Brown "Solidly researched, clearly structured, and profusely illustrated, Taconite Dreams highlights a paradoxical feature of modern capitalism, the rapid devaluation of formerly powerful industrial complexes."-- Labour/Le Travail " Taconite Dreams is well researched and written, and it draws good comparisons to similar postindustrial regions facing decline."-- Environmental History "The book stands out for the depth of its perspective on issues shaping other post-industrial places in the United States and around the world. Manuel effectively shows the economic and social changes behind shifts in policies that led to the current roles of mining, tourism, and other industries in this region."-- Minnesota History "A highly readable and sympathetic but neutral examination of a crisis period in the author's home state.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
