The first edition of Living Downstream--an exquisite blend of precise science and engaging narrative--set a new standard for scientific writing. Poet, biologist, and cancer survivor, Steingraber uses all three kinds of experience to investigate the links between cancer and environmental toxins. The updated science in this exciting new edition strengthens the case for banning poisons now pervasive in our air, our food, and our bodies. 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 will coincide with publication.… (mere)
lemontwist: Silent Spring is referenced many times in this book, and I'm glad I had already read it, as it gave me a good perspective while reading Living Downstream.
Depressing, both for me as a doctor as as the mother of a daughter - makes you want to move off the grid somewhere, except that those at the poles have some of the worst conditions - very compelling combination of personal story and research, clearly with a position but with a broad and well-researched approach ( )

There was once a village along a river. The people who lived there were very kind. These residents, according to parable, began noticing increasing numbers of drowning people caught in the river's swift current. And so they went to work devising ever more elaborate technologies to resuscitate them. So preoccupied were these heroic villagers with rescue and treatment that they never thought to look upstream to see who was pushing the victims in.
This book is a walk up that river.
