Eloquent and passionate. (DAILY MAIL )
Thirty-five years after Rachel Carson's Silent Spring warned of the impact of chemicals on the environment, Steingraber offers us an urgent critique of current thinking on cancer and its causes, bringing us the alarming message that we have wilfully ignored the evidence and are still poisoning our environment. Throughout her study of truly shocking scientific research she weaves two stories - of Rachel Carson and her battle to be heard and of her own moving story of cancer of the bladder, which she traces back to agricultural and industrial contamination. The connection between our bodies and the ecological world in which we eat, drink, breathe and work have rarely been so eloquently and passionately recorded.
'A very accessible book both for the uninitiated, the sceptic and the converted _ thoroughly inspiring and provoking' - Helen Lynn, WEN

Descripción Cloth. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st British. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 015270
