Abstract:
A small number of businesses in the country specialize in rescuing and preserving rare books and other documents. Don Etherington's Greensboro-based company, Etherington Conservation Services, is the largest one. Etherington began his training in his native London at age thirteen and earned an international reputation following a two-year project restoring rare, flood-damaged books in the national library in Florence, Italy. He has worked at the U.S. Library of Congress and the University of Texas. His company in Greensboro opened with a staff of three and now employs thirty.

Abstract:
There are over 200 crushed-stone quarries in the state, producing about 75.7 million tons of rock worth $589 million in 2005. Most of the rock is used for road work and other construction projects. Buying land for a quarry and getting all the local and state government permission required to operate it takes between five and eight years. Because of this, many quarry operators buy or lease sites that are already approved.
