Ecologist, author, and cancer survivor, Dr. Sandra Steingraber is an internationally recognized authority on the environmental links between cancer and human health. Steingraber’s highly acclaimed book, Living Downstream: An Ecologist’s Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment presents cancer as a human rights issue; it has been adapted for film by The People’s Picture Company of Toronto. Her book, Having Faith: An Ecologist’s Journey to Motherhood, explores the intimate ecology of motherhood. Both a memoir of her own pregnancy and an investigation of fetal toxicology, Having Faith reveals the extent to which environmental hazards now threaten each stage of infant development.
