Why read it?
1 author picked Laying Waste as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Brown lays out some of the major crises that fueled modern environmentalism and in so doing helps the reader to understand the passions that drove the movement. I remember when Lois Gibbs, a leader of the Love Canal residents, came to Centralia to give a pep talk to residents there about fighting government inaction.
From David's list on environmental catastrophes.
