WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE - Winner of The New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Book Award A new classic of science reporting."-- The New York Times The true story of a small town ravaged by industrial pollution, Toms River won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize and has been hailed by The New York Times as "a new classic of science reporting." Now available in paperback with a new afterword by acclaimed author Dan Fagin, the book masterfully blends hard-hitting investigative journalism, scientific discovery, and unforgettable characters. Rooted in a centuries-old scientific quest, Toms River is an epic 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.

Just Another Reason, NOT to Trust Chemical Company
The story cover how the chimney boys of England came down with testicular cancer, how other came down with lung and other cancers from chemicals from all over the World, and how chemical companies show no due regard for those in the communities which they surround, and get away with it.
Good book to read if doing research on irresponsible companies, the need for stronger and more stringent laws on hazardous materials.
