Buy Toxic Archipelago: A History of Industrial Disease in Japan (Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books) on desertcart.com ✓ FREE SHIPPING on qualified orders Review: Entertaining and disturbing - Disturbing and informative. Walker brilliantly transports the reader into a world where toxic byproducts reign. His writing is clear, engaging and sober. Modernity means many things, among them toxic byproducts and human suffering. Highly recommended. Review: Worth a read - While Walker tends to hammer the point home, this is a pretty good read. I got this book for an environmental studies class, and I found myself enjoying it, well as much as I could with such a grim subject matter. I'm not really one who likes reading for class, but this was interesting enough to make me really think and not just skim through it like I do most books needed for class.
