Riassunto

Through the eyes of an investigative reporter, 'Valley at Risk: Shelter in Place' gives us a chilling and deeply personal look into the lives of people living in the shadow of an enormous amount of toxic chemicals. Harshbarger describes the human errors that led to a horrifying fatal chemical plant explosion, one that nearly became an American Bhopal. We see ordinary citizens successfully standing up to a huge chemical corporation. But even in victory, the people of the valley continue to breathe air laced with toxic chemicals. Harshbarger s novel opens windows into the chemical industry s dark past, and its living presence what we face today.
