Gullion focuses on fracking in the Barnett Shale, the natural gas-rich geological formation under the Dallas, Fort Worth metroplex. She gives voice to the residents - for the most part educated, middle class, and politically conservative - who became reluctant anti-drilling activists in response to perceived environmental and health threats posed by fracking.Urban and industrial environments.Gas wellsHydraulic fracturingEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesUrban pollutionUnited StatesEnvironmentalismUrban ecology (Sociology)Electronic books.Gas wellsHydraulic fracturingEnvironmental aspectsUrban pollutionEnvironmentalism.Urban ecology (Sociology)622/.3381Gullion Jessica Smartt1972-1046475MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461025503321Fracking the neighborhood2473404UNINA
