Geologists, miners, and the like would appreciate how mining played such an important role in the life of Northern Ontario and how mining will continue to play an important role to the future.--Ruth Bowiec Daily Miner and News

At the End of the Shift is recommended reading as it provides a useful stimulus to discussion of both the questions that it does address and those it does not.--Kerry Abel Labour/Le Travail
