Summary: Cultural integrity, core of community structure ia at risk.
Comment: Each of the case examples given has thoroughly been researched and studied to provide compelling evidence of the social relationship between community, impact and the blow which begins the troubles for each community visited.

Correctly characterized by Erikson as, "A New Species of Trouble", gives our society an opportunity to understand the force and impact of contemporary technology on very real human beings. Mandatory reading for anyone interested in better understanding and maintaining their humanity in our very troubled world.

Rating: 4
Summary: Loosely linked case studies, but eloquently written.
Comment: Erikson brings together several tangentially related case studies, as well as a diatribe on homelessness and Hiroshima to make up an eclectic read. The book, however, is worth reading for its attempt to explore human reactions to a "new species of trouble"­toxic waste and other threatening consequences of modern industrial society
