{"product_id":"love-canal-images-of-america","title":"Love Canal (Images of America)","description":"Love Canal originated in 1894 as part of William T. Love's dream\nto build a model city and power canal. The neighborhood emerged in the 1970s as an environmental nightmare and harbinger of the worldwide hazardous waste crisis. Photographs in Love Canal tell the story of the community's early development and the subsequent use of the canal by Hooker Electrochemical Company to discard industrial chemical waste from 1942 to 1953. In the late 1970s, the seemingly dormant dump began to leak, and residents found themselves in a slowly unfolding nightmare, learning that the waste dumped in the canal decades before was not simply garbage but actually a toxic brew of dangerous chemicals that were hazardous to life, health, and property.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0738575607\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0738575607.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ploughman  PhD JD, Penelope\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
