520    "In this book, Jill Lindsey Harrison considers political 
       conflicts over pesticide drift in California, using them 
       to illuminate the broader problem and its potential 
       solutions. The fact that pesticide pollution and illnesses
       associated with it disproportionately affect the poor and 
       the powerless raises questions of environmental justice 
       (and political injustice). Despite California's impressive
       record of environmental protection, massive pesticide 
       regulatory apparatus, and booming organic farming industry,
       pesticide-related accidents and illnesses continue 
       unabated. To unpack this conundrum, Harrison examines the 
       conceptions of justice that increasingly shape 
       environmental politics and finds that California's 
       agricultural industry, regulators, and pesticide drift 
       activists hold different, and conflicting, notions of what
       justice looks like."--Publisher's website.
