In so doing, we have, in the minds of many, systematically altered a formerly hospitable environment into one more ambiguous in its effect on the human organism. Just as environments have adapted in response to human activity, so too is the human body now, in turn, forced to adapt to these altered conditions. Today, mysterious illnesses, from chronic fatigue to Gulf War Syndrome, meet us at every turn. Yet even as an increasing number of people attribute ailments to environmental problems, the suspected relationships between illness and environment remain unclear.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIllness and the Environment\u003c\/b\u003e examines how sick people and their allies struggle to achieve public recognition of somatic complaints and disabilities that they contend are related to manufactured environments. The first of its kind, the anthology considers the political, legal, and medical conflicts arising from these illnesses, and will prove invaluable to researchers, scholars, public policy makers, trial attorneys, and activist organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Kroll-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814747292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKroll-Smith, Steve:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eSteve Kroll-Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is Research Professor of Sociology at the University of New Orleans.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrown, Philip M.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhil Brown \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Sociology at Brown University, author of \u003ci\u003eRadical Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e, and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eNo Safe Place: Toxic Waste, Leukemia, and Community Action\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eValerie J.
