Superman's Not Coming

In Erin Brockovich's long-awaited book--her first to reckon with the condition of water on our planet--she makes clear why we are in the trouble we're in, and how, in large and practical ways, we each can take actions to bring about change.
     The need for clean water is as basic to life on planet Earth as hydrogen or oxygen. Brokovich shows us what's at stake, and writes of the fraudulent science that disguises our national water crisis. Cancer clusters are not being reported. People in Detroit in Michigan and the state of New Jersey are suffering from undrinkable water, and the drinking water for more than six million Americans contains unsafe levels of industrial chemicals linked to cancer and other health issues. The saga of PG&E that continues to this day. But, communities and people around the country are fighting to help make an impact. Brokovich writes of the water operator in Poughkeepsie, New York, who responded to his customers' concerns and changed his system to create some of the safest water in the country; of the moms in Hannibal, Missouri, who became the first citizens in the nation to file an ordinance prohibiting the use of ammonia in their public drinking water; and about how we can protect our right to clean water by fighting for better enforcement of the laws, new legislation, and better regulations. This book is a call to action and guidebook that gives us the tools we need to take action ourselves, to have our voices be heard, and to now that steps are being taken to make sure our water is safe.
