基本説明

By offering a "chemical politics", the contributors trace the migration of synthetic chemicals from the laboratory to the factory, and then into our environments, bodies, and communities.

Full Description

This timely collection of original essays traces the migration of synthetic chemicals from the laboratory to the factory and then into the environment, bodies and communities. Turning our attention to the impact these chemicals have on our ecosystems, human health, social organization and political processes, the contributors break new ground by focusing on the production and distribution of these potentially hazardous agents themselves rather than just detailing their effects.
