Canaries on the Rim: Living Downwind in the West (Haymarket)by Chip Ward
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Raising his family on the edge of the Great Basin Desert in Utah, Ward was caught up in a seven-year quest to find out why people there were getting sick and dying. Ward now presents his firsthand account of the quest and the lessons he learned. Book News Annotation:This regional and personal biography begins when the author and his
family moved to Grantsville, Utah for purposes of small-town
neighborliness and safety. Tales began to circulate about local cases
of cancer, birth defects, and respiratory problems, spurring a seven-
year search that uncovered a history of ecocide and caused Ward to
organize opposition to hazardous waste disposal, chemical weapons
incineration, industrial pollution, and nuclear waste storage. Ward
manages Utah's public library development program and is an activist
in several environmental organizations. Neither index nor notes
accompany this less academic addition to Verso's more scholarly
Haymarket Series.
