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. Seller Inventory # 015270
