“Like [Rachel] Carson, Langston uses lively and even lyrical writing. . . to tell the story of the risks posed by synthetic compounds currently found in pesticides, pharmaceuticals and plastics, such as BPA.”--Shawn Doherty, The Capital Times
“The historical slant is indeed unique. . . . the manuscript is well documented and written in a way that conveys the science in an understandable fashion.”—Dixie Mills, M.D., F.A.C.S., Medical Director, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation
"An important and timely piece of work from a well-established scholar.”—Brian Donahue, Brandeis University
(Brian Donahue)"A fascinating but horrifying account of how the vast majority of the American population became unwitting participants in a large and ultimately disastroua public health experiment."--Jill Sakai, University of Wisconsin--Madison News
(Jill Sakai University of Wisconsin-Madison News 2010-03-04)"Langston is poised perfectly to examine the scientific and social history of endocrine disruptors. . . . Langston's prose is precise and elegant. Moreover, her explanations of scientific frameworks, data, and debates are quite accessible. . . . This is certainly a fascinating and persuasive study that should be read by anyone interested in environmental health, environmental history, the history of medicine, gender studies, as well as larger questions regarding the entanglements between science, law, industry, medicine, and public policy."—Stacy Alaimo, American Book Review
