"As we prepared this textbook over the last few years, a lot has happened. About the United States today, historian Heather Cox Richardson goes so far as to say, "A country that once stood as the global symbol of democracy has been teetering on the brink of authoritarianism." One might think: But isn't this an environmental health textbook? Shouldn't the focus be on exposure science and chemicals? On climate change and strategies to protect human health? Yes, it should be, and we do cover these topics"--
