xx, 234 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. This pathbreaking volume explores the history of occupational safety and health in America from the late nineteenth century to the 1950s. Thirteen essays tell a story of the exploitation of workers as measured by shortened lives, high disease rates, and painful injuries. Scholars from a variety of disciplines examine the history of protection and compensation for injured workers, state and federal involvement, controversies over the dangers of lead, and the three emblematic industrial diseases of this century―radium poisoning, asbestos-related diseases, and brown lung. 20th century 363.1109730253318254 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 363.110973 Ros d 11201500812 Non Fiction 363.110973 Ros d Dying_for_work.jpg 81918 1986-04-25 00:00:00 2015-11-16 09:32:02 machine generated
