In Raising Elijah a scientist mother of two young children speaks out about celebrating the lives of our children while searching for ways to protect them and all children from the toxic world they inhabit. Each chapter of this engaging and unique book focuses on one ingredient of childhood - from pizza to laundry to homework - and explores the underlying social, political, and ecological forces behind it. She shows how everyday parenting connects to the public world of policy-making and how the environmental crisis is, fundamentally, a crisis of family life. Hardcover.
