ISBN: 9780807847985 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

At the crossroads where medicine and science met business, labor, and the state, industrial hygiene became a crucible for molding midcentury notions of corporate interest and professional disinterest as well as environmental concepts of the 'normal' and the 'natural.' The evolution of industrial hygiene illuminates how...
