Voynick\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh atop the Continental Divide, the Climax Mine opened during World War I to meet military needs for molybdenum, a metallic element that enhances the toughness and durability of steel. Climax became the most successful American company of the Great Depression, even as its workers cursed the mine as �that hellhole near the sky.� During World War II, Climax single-handedly supplied the huge Allied molybdenum demand, and in the postwar years became the world�s largest underground mine. But in 1981, the molybdenum market crashed and caused devastating layoffs. For most of the next three decades, Climax remained on a care-and-maintenance status with only occasional and very limited production. But after a $750-million rebuilding program, the Climax Mine restarted in 2012 and is again a major source of the world�s molybdenum. Steve Voynick�s deft portrayal of Climax and its people, along with more than 100 rare photographs, make this updated edition of Climax: The History of Colorado�s Climax Molybdenum Mine an invaluable contribution to western mining lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 410\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45771604590789,"sku":"9780878426089","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/9QSqZBo7Ux9780878426089_276577b5-9566-443a-8e85-06e0647d7111.webp?v=1770485486","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/climax-the-history-of-colorados-molybdenum-mine-paperback-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
