Bodies In Protest: Environmental Illness And The Struggle Over Medical Knowledge

I came across a book that really looks good and ordered it from Amazon.com, the online Amazon book store, and should get it this week. Anyway it was published Aug.1997 and should have some of the latest data about MCS in it. The title is:

Bodies In Protest: Environmental Illness And The Struggle Over Medical Knowledge. By J. Stephen Kroll-Smith, H. Hugh Floyd, Steve Kroll-Smith ISBN 0814746624

Table of Contents

• Environmental Illness As A Practical Epistemology and A Source Of Professional Confusion
• Chemically Reactive Bodies, Knowledge, and Society
• Something Unusual Is Happening Here
• Bodies Against Theory
• Explaining Strange Bodies
• Representation And The Political Economy Of A New Body
• A New Body In The Courts, Federal Polices, The Market, And Beyond
• Bodies, Environments, and Interpretive Space

If you need a book that explains the difference between having allergies and having MCS the best book I have found at defining that is:

Chemical Exposures: Low Levels, High Stakes by Nicholas A. Ashford. The 1991 edition is out of print but the 1997 edition can be gotten thru Amazon Books.
