THE ECONOMICS OF REGIONAL WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT

THE ECONOMICS OF REGIONAL WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT A comprehensive look at cancer and cancer research is presented in this readable book. In language readily understandable to scientist and layman alike, it sorts out basic information and provides an orderly review of the known and unknown facts, the successes and failures, the hopes and fears pertaining to the disease. The author attempts to be as impartial as one can be, after spending nearly a score of years in cancer work. He points out that there are ways of preventing some cancers and curing others, but that we are falling short of doing a really good job with either. He cites the merits and the shortcomings of scientific research grants, and adds a few pointed remarks about the abuses of grants programs. The book offers no easy solution to the cancer problem, but does mention the headway that has been made and offers some possibilities for future improvement: more attention to human exposure to carcinogenic substances, better education of the public and the medical profession to use the available technics properly, and improvement of science communications among others.

Abstract

A comprehensive look at cancer and cancer research is presented in this readable book. In language readily understandable to scientist and layman alike, it sorts out basic information and provides an orderly review of the known and unknown facts, the successes and failures, the hopes and fears pertaining to the disease. The author attempts to be as impartial as one can be, after spending nearly a score of years in cancer work. He points out that there are ways of preventing some cancers and curing others, but that we are falling short of doing a really good job with either. He cites the merits and the shortcomings of scientific research grants, and adds a few pointed remarks about the abuses of grants programs. The book offers no easy solution to the cancer problem, but does mention the headway that has been made and offers some possibilities for future improvement: more attention to human exposure to carcinogenic substances, better education of the public and the medical profession to use the available technics properly, and improvement of science communications among others. This is an interesting book well worth reading by any medical practitioner, public health worker, or layman who wants
