Superman's Not Coming by Erin Brockovich

Superman's Not Coming by Erin Brockovich

From the environmental activist, consumer advocate, and renowned crusader comes a riveting book that is "part memoir, part non-fiction report, and part call-to-action--a plea to readers to engage with the water crisis in America because no one else is going to do the work for you" (InStyle Magazine).

Clean water is as basic to life on planet Earth as hydrogen or oxygen. In her long-awaited book--her first to reckon with the condition of water on our planet--Erin Brockovich shows us what's at stake. She writes powerfully of the fraudulent science disguising our national water crisis: Cancer clusters are not being reported. People in Detroit and the state of New Jersey don't have clean water. 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 continues to this day. Yet communities and people around the country are fighting to make an impact, and Brockovich tells us their stories.

In Poughkeepsie, New York, a water operator responded to his customers' concerns and changed his system to create some of the safest water in the country. Local moms in Hannibal, Missouri, became the first citizens in the nation to file an ordinance prohibiting the use of ammonia in their public drinking water. Like them, we can each protect our right to clean water by fighting for better enforcement of laws, new legislation, and stronger regulations.

ERIN BROCKOVICH is the founder of the Erin Brockovich Foundation and the president of Brockovich Research & Consulting, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and empowering communities in their struggle for clean water. She has her own podcast on PodcastOne and is the coauthor of Take It From Me: Life Is a Battle, But You Can Win. She resides in the state of California. The After Cancer Diet is written by SUZANNE BOOTHBY. She is a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and writes about health, politics, food, and environmental issues. She is currently based in Asheville, North Carolina.
