She asks: is our collective health in a state of decline? If so, how dire is this crisis and has the public health system itself contributed to it? Using riveting detail and finely-honed storytelling, Garrett exposes the underbelly of the world's globalization to find out if it can still be assumed that government can and will protect the people's health, or if that trust has been irrevocably broken.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"On par with Rachel Carson's <i>Silent Spring</i> ...
