520 1 $a"In the first comprehensive history of the smallbore engine and the technology it powers, Paul R. Josephson explores the political, environmental, and public health issues surrounding one of America's most dangerous pastimes. Each chapter tells the story of an ecosystem within the United States and the devices that wreak havoc on it - personal watercraft (PWCs) on inland lakes and rivers; all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in deserts and forests; lawn mowers and leaf blowers in suburbia. In addition to environmental impacts, Josephson discusses the development and promotion of these technologies, the legal and regulatory efforts made to improve their safety and environmental soundness, and the role of owners' clubs in encouraging responsible operation." "Synthesizing information from medical journals, recent environmental research, nongovernmental organizations, and manufacturers, Josephson's history leads to one irrefutable conclusion: these machines cannot be operated without loss of life and loss of habitat."--BOOK JACKET.
