Media reviews

A "hard-hitting expose', written for the layperson", "well-documented and accessible."
---pediatrician Ruth Etzlel, Environmental Health Perspectives

"The book is an essential read – a call to action that presents, incisively and sharply, the state of the evidence" and "gives voice to families affected."
---Olga Naidenko, PhD, www.enviroblog.org

"This well-documented, highly readable page-turner contains shockingly important information critical to the health of families."
---Verna Noel Jones, Rocky Mountain News

"A hard-hitting book written by smart and capable journalists. The reason that I think Poisoned Profits is so controversial is because the book names names. I would say this information is accurate background to the larger picture. It's well-researched and well-vetted — so it's controversial, but sound."
---Boston University epidemiologist Richard Clapp, The Pump Handle

DJ unclipped; mylar-protected. As New. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 353pp. Hardback with DJ. The Shabecoff's have produced a well researched and documented work that lifts the curtain on toxic waste and the effects on children. They show the political gamesmanship behind decisions that affect the health of children; the failure of corporations (with few exceptions) to act except in their own interests; and offer tangible alternatives in the appendices. The science is documented, the sources and listed, indexed, and readily accessible to the reader. The corporate ethics that value profit above life are clearly delineated. One could only wish that political platforms were so well crafted and acted upon. Please, read this book.
