First published in 1997, Living Downstream has influenced many and informed many more... it is a compelling story of a young woman who developes cancer ... finds her cure (perhaps) and then, as a scientist active in the process of correcting the issues involved, moves to bring the truth to her community and the nation...a novel, no...a real story of Sandra Steingraber, biologist, poet, and survivor.Living Downstream
Here is what some have said...
“...definitive...remarkable...a beautiful, terrifying, and inspiring argument for change.”
- The Progressive
“...a simple yet dramatic narrative form... By skillfully weaving a strong personal drama with thorough scientific research, Steingraber tells a compelling story. For anyone curious about the possible effects of contamination on the environment or personal health, it is well worth reading.”
- The Washington Post
“...an absorbing, heartbreaking book, which meets high standards in both science and literature... Steingraber...is a sublime inheritor of Rachel Carson’s mantle.”
- On the Issues, Barbara Seaman
