Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-281) and index Where we stand now: Reasons for optimism -- Health -- Environmental quality -- Toxic substances -- Ecology and biodiversity -- Global welfare and the human population -- Where we have been: Historical lessons -- Political climate and health -- From bad to better -- Case histories: Lead, ozone, tobacco, GMOs -- The way forward -- Environmental philosophies and world views "In [this book], noted scientist Seymour Garte proves that on the whole, human beings have worked harder to improve our environment than we can ever imagine. Using scientific evidence and a balanced, middle of the road approach, [he] explodes many of the popular myths about human health and the environment. He provides the facts to show that scientific research, environmental activism, and government regulation have produced steady progress in dealing with pollution, poor health, loss of natural resources, and other negative byproducts of our industrial society. With the compassion and aid of dedicated environmentalists, activists, and politicians, we have actually made incredible progress in areas like public health, AIDS research, poverty, and feeding the hungry."--Jacket |
