Title: When Smoke Ran Like Water: Tales of Environmental
National Book Award Finalist
SIGNED by the author--association copy with inscription and
signature on the title page.
In When Smoke Ran Like Water, the world-renowned epidemiologist Devra Davis
confronts the public triumphs and private failures of her lifelong battle against
environmental pollution. By turns impassioned and analytic, she documents the
shocking toll of a public-health disaster--300,000 deaths a year in the U.S. and
Europe from the effects of pollution--and asks why we remain silent...
But the battle against pollution is not just scientific. For Davis, it's personal:
pollution is what killed many in her family and forced the others, survivors of the
1948 smog emergency in Donora, Pennsylvania, to live out their lives with
damaged health.
