Contents Notes |
Where I come from -- The phantom epidemic -- How to become a statistic -- How the game is played -- Zones of incomprehension -- The new sisterhood of breast cancer -- Save the males -- Earthquakes and spouting bowls -- A grand experiment -- Defiant figures. An epidemiologist identifies some 300,000 annual deaths in the U.S. and Europe due to pollution, making revelations about historical and smog-related mass casualties, and calling for major public changes. |
