The incident is the latest in a series of environmental problems connected to Cabot's drilling in the Dimock area. Last winter drinking water in several area homes was found to contain metals and methane gas.

"There's no dispute that we now live in a hyper-connected, globalized world--but plenty of argument over the type of globalization that's best for our collective future. In this timely work, Rob Kall makes a persuasive case for 'trickle-up' globalization from below and that the truest, best, and most long-lasting fundamental change always comes from the bottom up. Read this book?then act on it!"
