History Scholar Jean W. Griffith's New Book "Earth Day" Chronicles America's Shift Toward Climate Consciousness

OGDENSBURG, N.J., July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jean W. Griffith, a contributor to the Charles Scribner's Sons Encyclopedia of American Lives series, a college lecturer of history, and a published writer of historical editorials and social commentary, has completed his new book "Earth Day: America at the Environmental Crossroads": an investigation into the individuals behind the movements that forced the hand of the government to advocate to put an end to the declining environmental and human health of the United States.

"Polluted air, particularly in the country's urban areas, not only left an indelible impression in the minds of environmentalists, but it also threatened public health," Jean W. Griffith described the early days before the environmentalist movement truly took hold. "And clean water, taken for granted today by most Americans, is a subject, which describes the extent to which the country's waterways were part of a multibillion-dollar restoration project on the part of the states mandated by the federal government."

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Jean W. Griffith's explores the dangerous brinkmanship the United States played with the world around it as the prioritized profit over people—except for the brave and determined individuals featured in this book.

"I want readers to learn about the agents of change; those who rose to take their place in the pantheon of environmental history," the author said of his work. "This books looks at the herbicide contamination, the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the use of nuclear weapons and radioactive fallout and its impact on the environmental movement, and more in an attempt to capture the damage done to the Earth, and to highlight those whose efforts to improve the world's environmental conditions are still not fully realized."
