Summary: An Important and Wonderful Memoir
Comment: This is the story of Chip Ward awakening to deadly environmental pollution in his community, and what he and others were able to do about it. A must read for anybody who wishes to live a happy, healthy life, without dioxin-laden air or nuclear-irradiated ground water - because your community is not that different from Ward's. A well-written and humorous book that will reconnect you with the land and give you a better understanding of active community life. You won't be able to put it down. Absolutely great, from cover to cover.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Remarkable Achievement
Comment: This book is a remarkable achievement that describes remarkable achievements. First, although this is Chip Ward's first published work, the book is well written and easy to read. It is by turns lyrical, witty, informative, wise, sensitive, and, yes, angry. It describes how the author raised awareness in his community and made a difference despite overwhelming odds. I found it inspiring and uplifting despite the grim topic of toxic pollution. That Ward can keep his sense of humor in the midst of such adversity is amazing. It is a shame this book has not found a much bigger audience.

Rating: 5
Summary: We all live downstream...
Comment: I loved the book! And Mr. Ward should be commended highly for taking the actions he did, and writing the book to make other people aware of these terrible problems in Utah. It's outrageous! I feel sorry for the people of Utah, and wonder when we will come to our senses.Whatever the answers are to these terrible environmental problems, I think you can depend that each of us will be unpleasantly surprised by some more of these issues in the future, no matter where we live.
