520    "Water. The single most necessary element to sustain life.
       Brockovich warns that America's water crisis isn't looming
       on the horizon--it's already here. Superman Isn't Coming 
       makes clear that the most precious resource on planet 
       Earth is alarmingly polluted by toxins, hazardous waste, 
       lead, fracking chemicals, and more. In the 20 years since 
       her eponymous film, Brockovich has kept up the fight for 
       clean water one town at a time. She receives thousands of 
       letters each month from people across the country writing 
       to her with water concerns regarding chemicals,who don't 
       know who else to turn to. Brockovich has become a modern-
       day superhero responding to pleas for help throughout our 
       country, from citizens whose letters and pleas have been 
       ignored by their local representatives, the EPA, the 
       Department of Natural Resources, the CDC, their local 
       water authority with troubling situations that go unheeded
       and conditions not magically righting themselves. 
       Brockovich can't fight all the fights and save our water 
       on her own. The simple truth is that Superman isn't coming
       to save us. Her book is an urgent call for all of us. And 
       in it, Brockovich makes clear why we are in the trouble 
       we're in, and how we each can take small and large actions
       and change troubling conditions. She writes about the 
       effects of climate change that have caused droughts in 
       some areas and flooding in others, and shows how this is 
       affecting us economically as well as destroying lives and 
       property. She lays out the facts, and gives us the tools 
       to take steps--large and small--to make changes in our own
       counties, cities and towns, and help to preserve our 
       selves, our water, our planet"--|cProvided by publisher.
