About This Item
Emmaus, PA: Rodale Press, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hardback First Printing of First Edition. Hardcover and Dust Jacket As New. 16 pages of illustrative plates. Fine brown half cloth gilt titled with brown paper-wrapped boards, pristine condition. Unclipped as new jacket. Bowker examines the serious health threat of asbestos. The 1989 EPA ban on the manufacture, importation, processing and distribution of commercial asbestos was over-turned by the powerful corporate lobbyists' work in 1991 and so asbestos remains in at least 3000 products in the US and many more that are exported to developing nations. Bowker exposes cover-ups and examines the many lawsuits against the asbestos industry. 323 pages. 9.25 x 6.25 inches. Rodale Press, Emmaus, PA 2003.
