Living Downstream

An Ecologist's Personal Investigation Of Cancer And The Environment

BY SANDRA STEINGRABER

Brief Description:
The first edition of Living Downstream set a new standard for scientific writing. Quaker, poet, biologist, and cancer survivor, Steingraber uses all these kinds of experience to investigate the links between cancer and environmental toxins. The updated science in this new edition strengthens the case for banning pervasive poisons. Because synthetic chemicals linked to cancer come mostly from petroleum and coal, Steingraber shows that investing in green energy also helps prevent cancer. Saving the planet becomes a matter of saving ourselves and an issue of human rights. A documentary film based on the book is just out
