Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, and Faculty member of the Environmental Toxicology Graduate Group, University of California Riverside. Author of Regulating Toxic Substances (OUP 1993), Legally Poisoned: How the Law Puts Us at Risk from Toxicants (Harvard 2013), Toxic Torts: Science, Law and the Possibility of Justice (CUP 2006)

• PrefaceIntroduction Chapter 1: Industrial Chemicals as Nuisances: The Rise of Environmental Health Laws and Their Limitations Chapter 2: Cancers, Brain Disorders, and the Feminization of Boys: Can We Avoid Poisoning Our Children? . . Chapter 3: How Do Obscure Supreme Court Decisions Affect Me? Chapter 4: How Demands for Ideal Science Undermine the Public's Health Chapter 5: Conclusion

an engaging and provocative discussion of the history of regulatory and tort law, covering the history leading up to the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the precedents in toxic torts, including but not limited to the Daubert v. Merrill Dow Chemical. In addition, it brings readers up to date with the current law, providing a nuanced explanation of the science of environmental toxins, and its import for law and policy. I would not hesitate to assign this book in any course in philosophy of public health, bioethics, environmental ethics, law or policy. Philosophers of science, law and environmental policy especially can gain from this book, not only in teaching, but also in informing their own thinking.
