Description:
London England: Virago, 1998. A clarion call to address the most important health and human rights issue of our time. The author offers us an urgent critique of current thinking on cancer and its causes. She brings the alarming yet hopeful message that a meaningful programme of cancer prevention depends on ending the reckless poisoning of our environment and ourselves. In a gripping personal narrative she weaves together the stories of local communities in the States and the UK, how a friend dying of cancer turned Steingraber's attention to England, of Rachel Carson and her battle to be heard and of her own moving story of bladder cancer, a disease with intimate connections with enviornmental contamination. The connection between our bodies and the ecological world in which we eat, drink, breathe and work has rarely been so eloquently and passionately recorded.. 1st British. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
