内容简介:
The smog beast wafted into downtown Los Angeles on July 26,
1943. Nobody knew what it was. Secretaries rubbed their eyes.
Traffic cops seemed to disappear in the mysterious haze. Were
Japanese saboteurs responsible? A reckless factory? The truth was
much worse--it came from within, from Southern California's
burgeoning car-addicted, suburban lifestyle.
Smogtown is the story of pollution, progress, and how an
optimistic people confronted the epic struggle against airborne
poisons barraging their hometowns. With wit, verve, and a fresh
look at history, California based journalists Chip Jacobs and
William J. Kelly highlight the bold personalities involved, the
corporate- tainted science, the terrifying health costs, the
attempts at cleanup, and how the smog battle helped mold the
modern-day culture of Los Angeles. There are scofflaws aplenty and
dirty deals, plus murders, suicides, spiritual despair, and an
ever-present paranoia about mass disaster.
Brimming with historic photographs, forgotten anecdotes, and new
revelations about our environmentally precarious present, Smogtown
is a journalistic classic for the modern age.

*Starred Review*
Remember those great 1950s horror movies, when some
super-powerful creature menaced a city while the citizens panicked,
law enforcement officials bumbled, politicians pontificated, and
plucky scientists worked at a fever pitch to find something,
anything, to kill the monster? That's pretty much the feel of this
remarkably entertaining and informative chronicle of the birth
and--so far--inexorable evolution of smog. On July 8, 1943, smog
attacked Los Angeles without warning (well, not much warning).
People didn't know what to make of this gray mist that blanketed
the city, and when it didn't go away (or went away and then came
back), the citizenry began to react in strange ways: there were
rumors, for example, that this smelly cloud was some sort of
chemical attack by the Japanese--less than a year after Pearl
Harbor, this claim didn't sound so silly. By 1947, when it looked
like smog was here to stay, the governor of California created the
country's first smog agency. The following year, a documentary
about smog was released in theaters, animated by some guy named
Walt Disney, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter was writing
investigative pieces about the stinky mist. Later, smog helped
launch Ralph Nader's crusading career, and today it's a central
theme in the environmentalism movement. This book is just amazing,
a gripping story well told, with the requisite plucky scientists
(including Arie Haagen-Smit, a Dutch biochemist who was the Elvis
of his field), hapless politicians, and a nebulous biochemical
villain who just will not be stopped. -- Booklist (September 1,
2008)
