Notes and sources

Each page contains a section at the bottom with some sources for the specific information. Here is a list of sources that I used for all pages.

• Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano
  • This book is what got me interested in mapping out all the minerals. It's where I got some of the gory details about origins and human cost of extracting these materials.
