Author: Lorenzo Natali File Type: pdf This book brings the visual dimension of environmental crimes and harms into the field of green criminology. It shows how photographic images can provide a means for eliciting narratives from people who live in polluted areas describing in detail and from their point of view what they know, think and feel about the reality in which they find themselves living. Natali makes the argument for developing a visual approach for green criminology, with a single case-study as its central focus, revealing the importance of using photo elicitation to appreciate and enhance the reflexive and active role of social actors in the symbolic and social construction of their environmental experiences. Examining the multiple interactions between the images and the words used to describe the socio-environmental worlds in which we live, this book is a call to open the eyes of green criminology to wider and richer explorations of environmental harms and crimes. An innovative and engaging study, this text will be of particular interest to scholars of environmental crime and cultural, green and visual criminologies. **Review In this important contribution to criminology Lorenzo Natali offers a powerful invitation to understand one of the worlds most compelling social problems in fresh ways.

(Professor Rob White - University of Tasmania, Australia) Environmental crimeis perceived and experienced by different people in different ways. In this beautifully written book, Natali makes a compelling argument for why and how tostudy those social actors who are the direct victims of various environmental harms. A Visual Approach for Green Criminologyis a path-breaking endeavor that should prove enormously inspirational for those interested in cultural criminology, green criminology, visual criminologies, their points of overlap and their lacunae. (Professor Avi Brisman, School of Justice Studies at Eastern Kentucky University) Lorenzo Natali has written an important book, which provides an elegant and compelling argument for a broader approach to green criminological research. Natali argues that we must learn how to listen visually to the voices of the victims of environmental crime. His fascinating account of the use of photo elicitation interviews reveals a rich and at times unexpected explanation of the participants complex social reality. This is essential reading for anyone interested in pursuing qualitative green criminology research.

Author: Peter Pringle File Type: epub In 1943, Albert Schatz, a young Rutgers College Ph.D. student, worked on a wartime project in microbiology professor Selman Waksmans lab, searching for an antibiotic to fight infections on the front lines and at home. In his eleventh experiment on a common bacterium found in farmyard soil, Schatz discovered streptomycin, the first effective cure for tuberculosis, one of the worlds deadliest diseases.As director of Schatzs research, Waksman took credit for the discovery, belittled Schatzs work, and secretly enriched himself with royalties from the streptomycin patent filed by the pharmaceutical company Merck. In an unprecedented lawsuit, young Schatz sued Waksman, and was awarded the title of co-discoverer and a share of the royalties. But two years later, Professor Waksman alone was awarded the Nobel Prize. Schatz disappeared into academic obscurity.For the first time, acclaimed author and journalist Peter Pringle unravels the intrigues behind one of the most important discoveries in the history of medicine. The story unfolds on a tiny college campus in New Jersey, but its repercussions spread worldwide. The streptomycin patent was a breakthrough for the drug companies, overturning patent limits on products of nature and paving the way for todays biotech world. As dozens more antibiotics were found, many from the same family as streptomycin, the drug companies created oligopolies and reaped big profits. Pringle uses firsthand accounts and archives in the United States and Europe to reveal the intensely human story behind the discovery that started a revolution in the treatment of infectious diseases and shaped the future of Big Pharma.
