Love Canal - and the Birth of the Environmental Health Movement (Paperback, 3rd Updated ed.)

Today, "Love Canal" is synonymous with the struggle for environmental health and justice. But in 1972, when Lois Gibbs moved there with her husband and new baby, it was simply a modest neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York. How did this community become the poster child for toxic disasters? How did Gibbs and her neighbors start a national movement that continues to this day? What do their efforts teach us about current environmental health threats and how to prevent them? "Love Canal" is Gibbs' original account of the landmark case, now updated with insights gained over three decades.
