Product Description

From Library Journal

The most fascinating statistic presented in this collection of articles written by subject specialists is that "more that 90 million persons are added to the global population each year--roughly the population of Mexico." This is among many interesting facts concerning the environment and its impact on human health. Each chapter is extensively researched and supported with facts from the current literature. Recent events like the Gulf War are evaluated for their environmental impact on human health. Though the book is directed at both the environmentally aware lay reader and the physician, the recommendation on treating and combating the environmental health hazard that concludes each chapter is directed to the latter only. For large public, academic, and environmental libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Single Greatest Enviromental Book Ever!, April 6 2002

By Micah H. - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Critical Condition: Human Health and the Environment (Hardcover)

This collection of articles is action-packed from first page to last: the ozone layer is thinning, species are going extinct, toxins are spreading, and the globe is warming. Will mankind, lead by a heroic band of public health researchers and physicians, come to its political senses in time to save the planet?

You will never know the thrilling outcome of "Critical Condition" unless you order a copy today!
