WEST ORANGE, N.J., Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Eugene Shannon, director of the Liberian Geological Survey, Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy, Monrovia, Liberia from 1980 to 1990; consultant for the United Nations Advisory Training Services Branch, Transnational Corporations Management Division, Department of Social and Economic Development, ATSB/TCMD/DESD, New York, New York, from 1990 to 1992 and principal natural resources expert and environmentalist with the African Development Bank, Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire and Tunis, Tunisia from 1992 to 2006, has completed his new book "Safeguarding the Environment in Mining Development Projects": an in-depth opus on the notion of pushing for safer mining activities that benefit the governmental and social areas.

Dr. Shannon presents points that address specific topics pertaining to proper extraction processes that aim to boost productivity and safety as well. "Safeguarding the Environment in Mining Development" gives a description of the role the extractive industry plays in the economic sector of most developing countries. It also describes the activities of transnational corporations (TNCs) in this sector. Topics explored include the impacts on the economy, employment generation, technology transfer, and environmental damages as a result of poor mitigation measures to address externalities as a result of improper effluent disposal.

This manual (book) further indicates that TNCs must come to realize that environmental regulations should not only become a payment part of the business climate of industrialized countries, but must also be a part of the developing countries and that in the long run cooperation is more productive than opposition.

The author, a professor of geological and environmental sciences, also emphasizes that cooperative or bilateral efforts by both TNCs and governments of developing countries are absolutely necessary for the effectiveness of safeguarding the environment.

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Dr. Eugene Shannon's opus is a pivotal tool that helps readers understand the weight of employing a safe and successful extractive industry that benefits all areas of the society.
