Taking Action, Saving Lives: Our Duties to Protect Environmental and Public Health by Kristin Shrader-Frechette (O'Neill Family Professor, Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Philosophy, O'Neill Family Professor, Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame)
Pollution annually kills hundreds of thousands of people. In a brilliant, disturbing, yet readable book, Shrader-Frechette shows why this environmental epidemic continues. Campaign contributors, lobbyists, and special interests often control information by capturing media and even science itself. Yet Shrader-Frechette puts the blame - and the solution - on the shoulders of ordinary citizens. Calling for a new "democratic revolution." Arguing that justice requires us each to become he change we seek, she offers many concrete proposals for reform - many based on American Public Health Association recommendations.
