From the environmental activist, consumer advocate, renowned crusader, and champion fighter whose courageous case against Pacific Gas and Electric was dramatized in the Oscar-winning filmâa book that looks at our present situation with water and reveals the imminent threats to our most precious, essential element as it shows us how we can each take action to make changes in our cities, our towns, and our villages before it is too late.
What The Reviewers Say
... disturbing and powerful.
Superman's Not Coming: Our National Water Crisis and What We the People Can Do About It is a brutally honest look at how mismanagement, chemical spills, mishandling of toxic waste and sludge, and even fake studies have created the perfect storm in terms of damaging water systems in the United States.
... both a call to action and a how-to manual for citizen action.
The author offers an easy-to-understand guide to common water pollutants, including chromium 6, chloramines, and lead, and she shares stories of citizen activists in places like Martin County, Kentucky; Tonganoxie, Kansas; and Flint, Michigan.
