Book description
Although most people prefer not to think about them, hazardous
wastes, munitions testing, radioactive emissions, and a variety of
other issues affect the quality of land, water, and air in the Land of
Enchantment, as they do all over the world.
In this book, veteran New Mexico journalist V. B. Price assembles a
vast amount of information on more than fifty years of deterioration
of the state's environment, most of it hitherto available only in
scattered newspaper articles and government reports. Viewing New
Mexico as a microcosm of global ecological degradation, Price's is the
first book to give the general public a realistic perspective on the
problems surrounding New Mexico's environmental health and resources.
V. B. Price is an award-winning Albuquerque journalist, poet,
novelist, and teacher. Nell Farrell is a documentary photographer and
writer specializing in Latin American and the American Southwest.
