DAY THE EARTH CAVED IN, THE(ISBN=9780812971309) 英文原版 rb kindle 网盘 umd 极速 下载 pdf mobi

　　Beginning on Valentine’s Day, 1981, when twelve-year-old Todd

Domboski plunged through the earth in his grandmother’s backyard in

Centralia, Pennsylvania, The Day the Earth Caved In is an

unprecedented and riveting account of the nation’s worst mine fire.

In astonishing detail, award-winning journalist Joan Quigley, the

granddaughter of Centralia miners, ushers readers into the dramatic

world of the underground blaze. Drawing on interviews with key

participants and exclusive new research, Quigley paints

unforgettable portraits of Centralia and its residents, from Tom

Larkin, the short-order cook and ex-hippie who rallied the

activists, to Helen Womer, the bank teller who galvanized the

opposition, denying the fire’s existence even as toxic fumes

invaded her home. Like Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action, The Day

the Earth Caved In is a seminal investigation of individual

rights, corporate privilege, and governmental indifference to the

powerless.
