| Nancy Harvey Steorts, former chairperson
of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, has
combined her professional and personal experiences to create
a definitive and comprehensive consumer safety reference guide,
which promises to become a standard in the American home.
In this extensive and easily
referenced manual, Steorts addresses the safety concerns consumers
have (or should have) about their homes, automobiles, food,
and other products.
The book includes a glossary
of private and government product safety organizations, and
additional sources for obtaining further information. Heavily
documented with newspaper headlines, test results, and statistics,
Steorts draws on her own work as a government administrator
and her personal experience as a mother and grandmother. The
result is a highly readable, practical, and informative manual.
