A Scientist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment by Sandra Steingraber
In her early twenties, Steingraber was afflicted with cancer, a disease
that has afflicted other members of her adoptive family. Writing from
the twin perspectives of a survivor and a concerned scientist, she
traces the high incidence of cancer and the terrifying concentrations
of environmental toxins in her native rural Illinois. She goes on to
show similar correlation in other communities, such as Boston and Long
Island, and throughout the United States, where cancer rates have risen
alarmingly since mid-century.
