THE WAR ON THE EPA: AMERICA'S ENDANGERED ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS

The War on the EPA: America’s Endangered Environmental Protections examines the daunting hurdles facing the EPA in its critical roles in drinking water, air and water pollution, climate change, and toxic chemicals. This book takes the reader on a journey into some of today’s most pressing environmental problems: toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, pervasive agricultural pollution, dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, and widespread air and water pollution from use of fossil fuels. Delving into the science, politics, and human dimension of these and other problems, the book illustrates the challenges of regulation, how today’s war on science is undermining the scientific foundation upon which the agency’s legitimacy rests, and why a strong U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is more important than ever before. 
"The War on the EPA is a war on science, the environment, and public health -- as William and Rosemarie Alley’s engaging new book carefully documents. It’s a must-read for scientists, advocates, policymakers, and citizens committed to safeguarding the integrity of our nation’s premier environmental protection institution.”— Senator Tom Udall
​
“If you care about the health of American families and the future of your children, then read this book. It will make you stand up, shout out and take action to defend science and EPA at a time when we are losing the battle against life-threatening pollution.”— Gina McCarthy, former U.S. EPA Administrator (2013-2017)

The water recycling revolution: tapping into the future

In recent years, humans have begun to turn the age-old taboo against mixing sewage and drinking water on its head by using advanced treated wastewater to supplement a city’s drinking water supply. This increasingly widespread practice, known as potable reuse, qualifies as nothing less than a drinking water revolution. Water reuse offers a renewable, locally managed, and drought resistant water supply. The Water Recycling Revolution tracks the story of this development, examines the pros and cons, and explores its future potential. 
“If you are curious about how humanity figured out how to recycle water, this is your book. An authoritative view of why recycling was pursued, how it was done, and the innovators who made it possible.” ―David Sedlak, author, “Water 4.0: The Past, Present and Future of the World's Most Vital Resource”
​
“If you’re interested in learning about water reuse, this is the first book you should read.” ―Patricia L. Sinicropi, JD, executive director, WateReuse Association
​
“The Water Recycling Revolution is an extremely timely and engaging narrative of the people, history, and science behind the development of this increasingly important water supply.“ ―Laura Belanger, senior water resources engineer and policy advisor, Western Resource Advocates
