Deceit and Denial

edit

a very wise and thoughtful article. some interesting information on projects, works and awards! congratulations!

Strange, though, that Rosner's most important and impactful book, Deceit and Denial, is not mentioned anywhere. Why is that???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmeisnerrosen (talkcontribs) 16:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

The difficultly I have with supporting this statement is the language barrier.

Rosner's work has been influential in a number of international legislative and legal decisions regarding industrial safety and health, health policy and race relations. The 2005 edition of his book, Deadly Dust, co-authored with Gerald Markowitz, was one of the major stimuli of a five-year, international study of mining and health standards through collaboration with the Agence National Francais, the French equivalent of the National Science Foundation.

Is the spelling of Agence National Francais correct? Was this entity renamed at some point?

I stamped "citation needed" on it and moved on.

In ToxicDocs.org, a Treasure Trove of Industry Secrets ... with Chowkwanyun, they started by creating a website and uploading the maligned chapters of “Deceit and Denial,” with each footnote linked to the original supporting documents in their entirety. ... Since then, Chowkwanyun has expanded that early effort into what is now called ToxicDocs.org' Jamplevia (talk) 00:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
