The fighter loses more than his pride in the fight he loses part of his future. He's a step closer to the slum he came from.
ISBN10: 1596090367, ISBN13: 9781596090361, [publisher: Chamberlain Bros., New York] Hardcover Dust jacket. The rubbish of Western society is off-loaded to poorer third world countries, whether plastics, fridges or redundant supertankers. The last-named tend to end up in Bangla Desh where they are cut up for a pittance of a wage for cheap metal re-cycling, if the breakers survive asbestos, chemical leaks and explosive gases from the hulks. Maybe economic benefits to Bangla Desh but what of destruction of pristine beaches? Illustrations. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £5.95.

New York Chamberlain Brothers 2006 First edition. First printing [stated] Hardcover Buerk, Roland Very good in very good jacket xix, [1], 167, [5] p. Illustrations. Index. Asbestos, explosives, and chemical waste are only a few of the hazards involved in the meticulous work of destroying a giant ship. When new labor laws and environmental standards came to Europe, the ship-breaking industry moved to places like Chittagong on the coast of Bangladesh-places where the lives of workers seem expendable, and the environment is someone else's problem. "Breaking Ships" follows the demise of the "Asian Tiger, " a ship destroyed at one of the twenty ship-breaking yards along the beaches of Chittagong. BBC Bangladesh correspondent Roland Buerk takes us through the process-from beaching the vessel to its final dissemination, from wealthy shipyard owners to poverty-stricken ship cutters, and from the economic benefits for Bangladesh to the pollution of its once pristine beaches.
