Living Downstream: An Ecologist Looks at Cancer and the Environment (signed)
NY: Addison Wesley, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "For Kristie & Ron, with all best wishes for your life together -- SS." Also signed in full and dated in 1997 on the title page. Her first book, uncommon signed. A biologist, Steingraber survived cancer in her twenties and this book investigates the pathways of environmental contamination with the touch a poet through the lens of her own personal narrative. In the tradition of Rachel Carson. From the jacket: "Sandra Steingraber is ... the first to trace with such compelling precision the entire web of connections between our bodies and the ecological world in which we eat, drink, breathe, and work." An oft-talked about work of contemporary environmental justice writing. A very near fine book with perhaps some faint soiling to rear cloth against spine. In a very near fine jacket with just a touch of creasing to spine ends. Near fine. Item #1430
