Environmental Cancer-A Political Disease? by S. Robert Lichter, Stanley Rothman Publisher: Yale University Press Publication Date: Monday, February 08, 1999 Number of Pages: 256 ISBN: 0300076347

Book Summary: In this provocative book, the authors investigate the reliability of mass media reports on environmental cancer. They find that newspaper and television accounts often cite the views of environmental activists as if they were the views of the scientific community, despite sharp differences between the two groups. Misplaced fears about the risks of environmental cancer, caution the authors, distort public policy and priorities.
