Survival in Paradise: A Century of Coal Mining in the Bow Valley is both a story of how coal was mined in the region for nearly 100 years and a story of its four coal-mining towns.

Engineers and miners will be interested in the specifics of how coal was mined in the Rocky Mountains. General readers and those with a passion for history will appreciate how this book explores the development of each community and why three died and Canmore survived.
