Shirley’s ETD has allowed her to accomplish her goal of raising the public consciousness and discourse about mountain top removal. She was able to reach a world-wide audience almost instantaneously, resulting in publication of a book that is now in use in the K-12 and higher education curriculum.  A press release about her success is available at http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/n/2008/03/26/6644.
