Reseña del libro "Thundering Waters: The Toxic Legacy of Niagara Falls (en Inglés)"

How corporate kingpins built their empires by poisoning a treasured natural wonder Few images from the natural world conjure the same awe, power, and amazement as Niagara Falls. Each year, millions flock from around the world to hear the roar of the falls, feel and smell the spray, and maybe take in the sight up close by boat. What they don't know--nor do most of the locals--is that the city of Niagara Falls is the setting of one of the most shocking and horrific tales of environmental desecration of the past hundred plus years. By virtue of the Falls' might, Niagara Falls was the birthplace of the commercial electro-chemical industry--and for decades, those massive corporations dumped, buried, vented, incinerated, and piled their millions of tons of toxic and radioactive waste in the surrounding farmlands, rivers, meadows, and empty lots. Venture minutes from the waterfall, and you'll find the bones of a decrepit city. Its residents are plagued by every major health problem imaginable, often at rates that far exceed state and national averages. The harm is ongoing and generational. As in all such cases, the poor and marginalized bear the brunt of the injury. Environmental attorney Christen Civiletto relates how the major chemical kingpins of the 20th century relentlessly and indiscriminately laid waste to Niagara Falls in her eye-opening, harrowing, intimate new book, Thundering Waters: The Toxic Legacy of Niagara Falls. Expertly interweaving environmental crime, history, and memoir, Thundering Waters exposes the astonishing story of exploitation and ongoing abuse lurking in the shadows of one of the world's most treasured natural wonders.
