Something's Rising featured on BookTV on Sunday

The book "Something's Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal" by Silas House and Jason Howard will be featured this Sunday on Book TV on C-SPAN 2. The show is at 11 a.m. ET, repeated at 11 p.m. The show includes footage from Louisville Loves Mountains Festival in April where Silas and Jason read from their book. That festival was cosponsored by Carmichael's Bookstore and Heine Brothers Coffee.

Here's a description of Something's Rising from the University Press of Kentucky:

Something's Rising collects oral histories from a diverse group of individuals from Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Virginia who are fighting mountaintop removal, an ecologically devastating form of coal mining. Taken together, these voices stand as a testament of what it means to be an Appalachian and the value of preserving a culture's history and spirit through the stories of its people.
