Bill Carter
A story about copper, the metal that runs the world.

I found the start of this a bit implausible. It felt like he was trying to do a Erin Brockovich. I found contaminants in my garden, I feared for my family, I investigated. But in fact he was in a mining town and the knowledge of contamination was well established. 

It then progress with Bill going to different mining towns and talking to people. Mainly mining is bad but essential. I did enjoy the stories and information.
