Slick Water is a true-life noir filled with corruption, incompetence, and, ultimately, courage. It is a deeply informative, disturbing, and important book.-Elizabeth Kolbert, 2015 Pulitzer Prize Winning author of The Sixth Extinction
Andrew Nikiforuk's Hydraulic fracturing, a highly disruptive technology, has been presented as a novel innovation and economic boom. But scientific evidence tells a different story of water contamination, seismic activity, landscape industrialization and economic ruin. The harrowing experience of Jessica Ernst further illustrates how government and regulators flaunt the law to protect a powerful industry and its dangerous technology. Admission is by donation, except Dalhousie which is free admission.
