Description
Book SynopsisAiling in Place examines environmental conditions in Appalachia and explores the relationship between those conditions and certain health outcomes that are often incorrectly ascribed to poor individual choices.
Trade Review“
Ailing in Place should be a reference book in the Appalachia section of every library in the country. Morrone presents one of the most informative compilations and potential correlations leading to exposures and adverse health effects to the residents of Appalachia I have ever seen.”
“
Ailing in Place provides a timely new resource for Appalachian health reference, particularly for those interested in the intersection of environmental health and Appalachian studies.”
“This book should be read by anyone practicing and studying health-related professions and those wanting to influence public policy…. The way Dr. Morrone melds stories and facts is a unique approach to scholarship that makes this book stand out from others on a similar topic.” * Journal of Appalachian Health *
“The title of this book says it all. Water quality, waste disposal resources, polluted air, and devastated land, sometimes exacerbated by natural disasters, do affect public and personal health. This book provides a much-needed primer on this subject in Appalachia.” * Appalachian Mountain Books *
Fascinating and enlightening. -- Robyn Seamon * Appalachian Journal *
