Why Mining? by David L. McKay (summer 2002) is about places and people the author met in his 50-year career in the mining industry. The book covers the experiences of one mining engineer working in many provinces of Canada, the United States, Scandinavia, Central Asia and China. Anyone working in the mining industry in the last half century will recognize many of the people mentioned and the properties described. Now that Mr. McKay is retired, he has had time to record many of his experiences and memories.
