Learned so much  
I bought this because I very much liked a new book my one of the authors. I was blown away by the information in this book. I know so much more about the dangers posed by toxic chemicals. The book has definitely altered my thinking and actions. I am also amazed by the political struggle of the Inuit to get attention paid to the unique pollution problems that they face -problems they did not cause.

Excellent Book  
Very informative review of a critical global environmental issue. Very accessible for the non-expert but also lots of detail for those with greater knowledge. The fantastic pictures, graphs and charts really put things in perspective and make details easy to understand -- as does the great chronology and glossary. The book has a fantastic set of contributors including leading scientists, policy-makers, environmental advocates, indigenous representatives, the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Porgramme and the Minister of the Environment in Canada.
