Watershed: Attending to Body and Earth in Distress.
What if we tended to an ailing ecosystem just as we care for ourselves in the throes of a medical condition. This possibility is explored here, in a work that is at once a memoir of illness and health, a contemplation of the surrounding natural world in distress, and a reflection on how these come together in opportunities for healing. The credo ‘water is life’ has become a key environmental rallying cry in the years since Standing Rock, and this book helps us remember why. It recalls an American past, inhabits a global present, and imagines a working future it will be an aid to many as they grapple with our difficult moment.

Fighting silent killers: A Q&A with Dr. Sandra Steingraber
Updated May 10, 2021;
Dr. Sandra Steingraber’s life mission is to wage war against “toxic trespassers,” to use her term. It began at age 20, when she and other family members contracted bladder cancer which couldn’t have been genetic, because she was adopted. So she suspected environmental contaminants in her rural Illinois town, and her research found dry cleaning fluids in the water wells that suggested the link.
Since then, she has been a champion in the environmental human rights movement by applying scrupulous science and relentless civil disobedience.
The author of four books and the subject of two documentaries, Steingraber is best known for leading the grassroots fight to end fracking in New York State.
