The Environmental Pendulum: A Quest for the Truth about Toxic Chemicals, Human Health, and Environmental Protection Book

Since I am now a resident of the Tri-Cities area, near the Hanford site, I thought I had better read about its history. While the history of and reasons for the Hanford Nuclear Site are disturbing in and of themselves, the book also raises questions about the so-called democracy in which we live. One quote in the book essentially sums things up for me: "There is nothing to be gained by informing the public." I don't remember the Hanford official who made the statement. It really doesn't matter. The book makes one wonder about the things people will do and the problems they will create in order to kill each other.
