Engineers and scientists have made great progress in advancing the
understanding of the principles underlying environmental quality
and public health. However, all too often, society and the
scientific community do not realize the connections between
environmental occurrences. In their haste to remedy a situation,
they overlook lessons that could be learned to prevent future
disasters. Paying attention to the past instructs us about the
future.
"Paradigms Lost" combines the historical case perspective with
credible and sound scientific explanations of key environmental
disasters and problems. The author sorts through natural disasters
and human mistakes from Love Canal, New York to Bhopal, India to
provide larger lessons that can be applied by scientists, engineers
and public safety officials. The analysis of these events includes
viable alternatives for future generations.
* Includes alternative approaches to environmental issues from
preventative measures to contingency plans
* Richly annotated with sidebars, discussion boxes and generous
examples from Exxon Valdez and Love Canal to Agent Orange and
Bhopal
* A usable tool for all professionals from lawyers to chemical
engineers
