Das "Dritte Reich" war kein Betriebsunfall der deutschen Geschichte. Aber ist deshalb der Umkehrschluss erlaubt, die Machtübertragung an Hitler sei ein notwendiges Ergebnis der politischen Entwicklung Deutschlands gewesen? Gab es nicht doch Wendepunkte, an denen die Geschichte auch ganz anders hätte verlaufen können? Ein bewährtes, seit vielen Jahren lieferbares Standardwerk, das sich vorzüglich für den Schulgebrauch eignet. (Verlagsinformation)

Objective. Much of the empirical work on environmental justice centers on the geographic distribution of potential chronic health risks (eg, planned toxic releases or treatment storage & disposal facilities). Far less attention has been devoted to the geographic distribution of acute health risks that cause immediate harm. The purpose of this work is to examine environmental justice in terms of potential acute health risks by examining the distribution of serious chemical accidents across diverse subpopulations. Methods. We draw on 1990 US Census data to study the relationship between the racial, ethnic, & economic characteristics of census block groups (N = 226,398) & the presence or absence of chemical accidents that caused at least one injury, death, or evacuation, 1990-1996. The data used to map the location of the chemical accidents were obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency's Accidental Release Information Program (ARIP) database. Results. Our results indicate that the acute risk associated with chemical accidents at fixed facilities is greater for individuals living in low-income census block groups, especially when comparisons are made within the counties where the chemical accidents occur. Our results concerning race & ethnicity are less consistent & somewhat weaker. Conclusions. Although these results do not show large & dramatic effects, as have often been found in the study of the social distribution of chronic environmental risk, they do stand as one of a relatively few social analyses of social variation in exposure to acute environmental risk. 3 Tables, 47 References.
