Recenzii
this is an excellent book, not only for the industrial health and safety professional, but for any reader interested in the problems of technology, and of managing the attendant risks: and for anyone interested (and that should be all of us) in the problems associated with achieving consensus on what is 'acceptable' risk. I fully commend it and heartily recommend it.
The investigative element of the book has been carefully researched, Industrial Safety Management
The book is a devastating indictment of the cynical lies and evasion, backed by ranks of paid for medics and scientists, that saw generations of T&N workers wiped out.
Tweedale ... his study provides a formidable contribution to the continuing debate on business ethics as well as to the history of the human costs of business success in hazardous industries.
The story told by Tweedale is usually interesting, often moving and sometimes shocking. There can be little doubt that the author pursues his subject with integrity and has undertaken meticulous research in a difficult area of scholarship.
Geoffrey Tweedale's book ... compelling and often chilling.
absorbing, horrifying and sobering ... Geoffrey Tweedale ... has arranged the mountain of material with great skill to produce a well-documented and very readable account.
"This is a fascinatong and thought-provoking book and a damning indictment of government and big business approaches to occupational health. Given the role that asbestos has played in the maritime induatries, it should be essential reading." Sandra Spears, Lloyds List, March 11, 2000.
"Tweedale's book makes for grim, but compulsive reading... The book shocks in its tales of the company's attempts to avoid adequately compensating employees and their dependents." Sandra Spears, Lloyds List, March 11, 2000.
"[Steve] McQueen's name is just one of many listed in the index of Geoffrey Tweedale's Magic Mineral to Killer Dust, a fascinating and moving account of the asbestos industry in Britain." "Tweedale's engrossing story is one of appalling suffering and corporate cover-up..." New Scientist, 15/04/2000, Steve Hill
"As the author says, the book can be read simply as a "muckraking tale of corporate misconduct", but it is much more than that. It is an engaging history of the social, scientific, medical and business aspects of asbestos that combined to create a tragedy."...Tweedale's book points out that industry still has much to learn from its mistakes--it's essential reading if we are ever to do so." New Scientist, 15/04/2000, Steve Hill
"A comprehensive history of the UK asbestos health problem. This is an outstanding book and an excellent read." The aily Hazard, April 2000.
"It is the first time that so much information about an esbestos firm has been made public." Dean Kirby, Rochdale observer, 27 May 2000.
Magic Mineral mentioned in International Environment and Safety News, April 2000.
"...startling and comprehensive history of the UK's asbestos health problem." Health and Safety Bulletin, May 2000
