圖書描述

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.

成百上韆種已知未知的化學汙染物,隨著湯姆斯河的靜靜流淌,在人們的飲水中逐漸消失,一如那些罹患癌癥的孩子們,隨著時間的緩緩流逝,在人們的記憶中消散,杳無痕跡。95%的置信區間的確是個大坑,明明是隨意設置的,可就是繞不過去。。。

寫的太好瞭,但韆萬不能聽audio book, 因為太長瞭,差不多23小時。內容及其豐富。藉由Toms river 將近半世紀的工業汙染和環境健康的發生和抗爭,介紹瞭大量流行病學,毒理學,化工産業,社會運動,科學參與社會等等領域的發展曆史和主要概念,實在是太龐雜瞭。一定要看書,因為有很多可以衍生學習的材料,聽書聽的急死瞭。邊聽變慨嘆啊, 這博弈博的一波未平一波又起的啊,我們差太遠啦。
