Reviews

Hart does an excellent job weaving local community narratives in with sociological insights and theories of risk and belonging. Risk and Adaptation in a Cancer Cluster Town offers a clear and important contribution to in-depth community studies of industrial risks and environmental health disaster. --Peter Little author of Toxic Town: IBM, Pollution, and Industrial Risks
