Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs organized her neighbors to protest the health effects of a toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York, the movement has spread across the United States and throughout the world. By placing human health at the center of its environmental argument, this movement has achieved many victories in community mobilization and legislative reform. Here the author, an environmental health expert describes the movement's historical, ideological, and cultural roots and analyzes its strategies and successes. -- Publisher's description. 000706134 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000706134 650_0 $$aEnvironmental health$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000706134 650_0 $$aPollution$$xEnvironmental aspects$$zUnited States. 000706134 650_0 $$aEnvironmentalism$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000706134 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDavies, Kate, 1956-$$tRise of the U.S. environmental health movement.$$dLanham, Md. : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, c2013$$z9781442221376$$z9781442222458$$w(DLC) 2013000229$$w(OCoLC)825047421 000706134 8520_ $$bacq 000706134 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000706134 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000706134 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1163743$$zOnline Access 000706134 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1163743$$zOnline Access 000706134 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:706134$$pGLOBAL_SET 000706134 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000706134 980__ $$aBIB 000706134 982__ $$aEbook 000706134 983__ $$aOnline
