Comments:
On: Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power ls. (Still in print and, alas, still quite topical since little has changed in the years since I wrote it) “A gripping new book.”

On Carbon Shock: A Tale of Risk and Calculus on the Front Lines of the Disrupted Global Economy “A very important book about a subject of urgent importance,”
CHOICE--Outstanding Academic Title.
"Schapiro‘s tough look at how our current habits of consumption will cost us down the road, combined with his hard-hitting, journalistic style, makes for a dramatic read.” -
