The riveting true story of a small town ravaged by industrial pollution, Toms River melds hard-hitting investigative reporting, a fascinating scientific detective story, and an unforgettable cast of characters into a sweeping narrative in the tradition of A Civil Action, The Emperor of All Maladies, and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

One of New Jersey’s seemingly innumerable quiet seaside towns, Toms River became the unlikely setting for a decades-long drama that culminated in 2001 with one of the largest legal settlements in the annals of toxic dumping. A town that would rather have been known for its Little League World Series champions ended up making history for an entirely different reason: a notorious cluster of childhood cancers scientifically linked to local air and water pollution. For years, large chemical companies had been using Toms River as their private dumping ground, burying tens of thousands of leaky drums in open pits and discharging billions of gallons of acid-laced wastewater into the town’s namesake river.

In an astonishing feat of investigative reporting, prize-winning journalist Dan Fagin recounts the sixty-year saga of rampant pollution and inadequate oversight that made Toms River a cautionary example for fast-growing industrial towns from South Jersey to South China. He tells the stories of the pioneering scientists and physicians who first identified pollutants as a cause of cancer, and brings to life the everyday heroes in Toms River who struggled for justice: a young boy whose cherubic smile belied the fast-growing tumors that had decimated his body from birth; a nurse who fought to bring the alarming incidence of childhood cancers to the attention of authorities who didn’t want to listen; and a mother whose love for her stricken child transformed her into a tenacious advocate for change.

A gripping human drama rooted in a centuries-old scientific quest, Toms River is a tale of dumpers at midnight and deceptions in broad daylight, of corporate avarice and government neglect, and of a few brave individuals who refused to keep silent until the truth was exposed.

写的太好了,但千万不能听audio book, 因为太长了,差不多23小时。内容及其丰富。借由Toms river 将近半世纪的工业污染和环境健康的发生和抗争,介绍了大量流行病学,毒理学,化工产业,社会运动,科学参与社会等等领域的发展历史和主要概念,实在是太庞杂了。一定要看书,因为有很多可以衍生学习的材料,听书听的急死了。边听变慨叹啊, 这博弈博的一波未平一波又起的啊,我们差太远啦。

国外上个世纪甚至上上个世纪经济发展带来的负面影响与代价正在当代中国进行,而他们则早已进行了转型,往高科技与尖端制造业发展,利用资本手段将重污染行业转移到发展中国家或者第三世界国家!

成百上千种已知未知的化学污染物,随着汤姆斯河的静静流淌,在人们的饮水中逐渐消失,一如那些罹患癌症的孩子们,随着时间的缓缓流逝,在人们的记忆中消散,杳无痕迹。95%的置信区间的确是个大坑,明明是随意设置的,可就是绕不过去。。。
