Our Environmental Future Supplementary Bibliography IndexReviewsAn excellent book that comprehensively covers the health impact of man's interaction with his environment [...] Scientific writing at its best - clear, crisp and peppered with interesting examples and supporting material to keep the reader connected with the subject matter. * The Annals of Occupational Hygiene * In its 400 pages, this book probably covers as much as is reasonable to expect.It will find its place among more extensive treatises as well as less scholarly entries. Throughout, the authors remain committed to their credo of avoiding the tendency to present attractive hypotheses or assumptions as proven facts. In every respect, this second edition is a refreshing contribution. * J.
