About this title

Synopsis

Chernobyl, Bhopal, and Love Canal are symbols of the potentially catastrophic risks that go hand in hand with much modern technology. This volume is a non-partisan study of the imperfect but steadily developing system for containing the risks of such technologies as chemicals, nuclear power, and genetic engineering.

About the Author

Joseph G. Morone and Edward J. Woodhouse both teach at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York.
