This book contains numerous black-and-white photographs, tables, diagrams and text boxes of such low quality that reading a single chapter is enough to give you a headache. There is a great deal of interesting anecdotal information. However, this is at the expense of directly relevant factual information and technical details that are included in other environmental health texts.

This book is woefully out of date, especially when it comes to the field of endocrine disruption and environmental signaling. It’s almost dangerous to ignore this subject, now that the science continues to build that long-term, low-dose exposure to many chemicals are dangerous the unborn, young children and people of all ages. I was horrified to read a citation in the book that claimed that most of the chemicals in the products we use everyday are harmless. In reality most of those chemicals have never been tested for safety. This is just poor research and writing on the author’s part. For anyone interested in endocrine disruption, please look up the book Our Stolen Future. A simple search will lead you to many books, for this book commits a horrible mistake by leaving it out. You can also find Internet sites like Safer Chemicals Healthy Families or The Endocrine Disruptor Exchange.

I took a course that required the latest edition of this book. Being as how I was in a financial crunch (due to bizarre financial aid delays), I had to wait as long as possible to purchase my books for class. Eventually the class started so I simply purchased the book on kindle. I paid double the price of the print version to get an outdated, significantly different textbook.

I was horrendously confused about what the professor was teaching and from where in the text she was teaching. That is until I realized that my book was not the same book she was teaching from. Normally, I would understand. An older edition should very well be outdated and have less content.

But not if you pay double the price of the current edition that isn’t available digitally.

Seriously, the kindle version was released a year before the brand new edition. Why on earth wouldn’t the kindle version be updated? Why would the digital price differ so dramatically in price? I’m far beyond confused. Ultimately, I looked foolish and was completely unprepared for a difficult course. Thanks.
