Whitewash: Exposing the Health and Environmental Dangers of Women's Sanitary Products and Disposable Diapers |
Whitewash: Exposing the Health and Environmental Dangers of Women's Sanitary Products and Disposable Diapers : What You Can Do About It
by Liz Armstrong and Adrienne Scott
Publisher: Harpercollins (May 1993)
Paperback: 194 pages
ISBN #0-00-637709-2
-- Liz Armstrong and Adrienne Scott have written a remarkably coherent and depressing attack on chlorine and consumerism. Their arguments against the use of chlorine-bleached products are so convincing one is astonished manufacturers keep putting them on the market, governments continue to permit it, and anyone in their right mind would use such products. What is depressing about this book is such chlorine-bleached products are still bought and sold, and nobody seems terribly excited about the issue.

-- Behind Procter and Gamble's wholesome image is a control-obsessed company so paranoid Wall Street analysts, employees, and the chairman himself refer to it as the Kremlin.
P+G's wealth and power ensure it gets what it wants, from tax breaks to the eager services of Washington lobbyists. In this explosive expose, Wall Street Journal reporter Alecia Swasy tells the chilling story of life within P+G. Wonderfully readable, impeccably researched, Soap Opera is a sobering look at the price of success in American business.

by Rachel Carson, Linda Lear, Edward O. Wilson

ISBN-10: 0618249060
-- Rachel Carson's Silent Spring was first published in three serialized excerpts in the New Yorker in June of 1962. The book appeared in September of that year, and the outcry that followed its publication forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson's passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world, and her eloquent book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century.

ISBN-10: 0917561066
-- An attorney's battle with Proctor and Gamble, makers of Rely tampons. The super-absorbent compound implicated in this woman's death are the very same ones being used in disposable

This is an important, and yet enthralling and well-written book. Chronicling the story of a woman's death from Toxic Shock Syndrome and subsequent suit brought by her husband against Proctor and Gamble, manufacturer of Rely tampons. The author also points to many others: doctors bought off with huge research grants; witnesses demanding extraordinary sums for testifying; the FDA, delaying product warning requirements; and other manufacturers of tampons. A truly shocking tale of corporate greed.
