Reading Castleman: The Sources Behind Asbestos: Medical and Legal Aspects

Barry Castleman's Asbestos: Medical and Legal Aspects is the standard history of what was known about
asbestos disease, and when. The fifth edition (Aspen Publishers, 2005) runs to nearly 900 pages and cites
3,711 sources: medical papers, government reports, trade journals, and the letters, memos and depositions that
asbestos litigation brought out of company files.

This guide follows the book chapter by chapter. Each chapter's page lists every source Castleman cites, in the order
the book reads, with the page and note number, so you can keep it open beside the book. 1059 of the sources are
in our library and are linked, so you can read the document he was writing about. We add links as the library grows.

The guide quotes only Castleman's citations, not his text. The book itself is available from its publisher and in
libraries.

You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
