This book, named one of Booklist's Top 10 books on sustainability
in 2014, is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of the
environmental health movement, which unlike many parts of the
environmental movement, focuses on ways toxic chemicals and other
hazardous agents in the environment effect human health and
well-being. Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs organized her neighbors to
protest the health effects of a toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New
York, the movement has spread across the United States and
throughout the world. By placing human health at the center of its
environmental argument, this movement has achieved many victories
in community mobilization and legislative reform. In The Rise of
the U.S. Environmental Health Movement, environmental health expert
Kate Davies describes the movement's historical, ideological, and
cultural roots and analyzes its strategies and successes.
