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)Gas wellsHydraulic fracturingEnvironmental aspectsUrban pollutionEnvironmentalism.Urban ecology (Sociology)622/.3381Gullion Jessica Smartt1972-1643177MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822344603321Fracking the neighborhood4023782UNINA
