Yet the incidence of breast cancer is continuing to increase. This critical and revealing text investigates breast cancer activism in its two forms--the \"pink movement\" that focuses on developing awareness of, coping with, and managing breast cancer; and the \"green movement\" that strives to determine the possible environmental causes of breast cancer--such as pesticides, chemicals, and water and air pollution--and thereby hopes to prevent breast cancer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat caused this new green movement to develop? Will it replace or merge with the pink movement? Does either approach offer more promise for a solution? And how do the two movements differ in their positions or methodology towards a similar goal? With information culled from interviews with more than 50 industry stakeholders, \u003ci\u003eThe Green Solution to Breast Cancer: A Promise for Prevention\u003c\/i\u003e argues that key attributes such as strategy, mission, and branding have led to a greater convergence between the pink and green wings of the movement and presents information that enables readers to consider if either approach might be the shorter route to beating breast cancer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristen Abatsis McHenry Ph D.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440840342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440840340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2016","brand":"Kristen Abatsis McHenry Ph D.","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153660621055,"sku":"9781440840340","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82fbb833-7050-4619-be47-3446d7ae296e.jpg?v=1770784974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-green-solution-to-breast-kristen-abatsis-mchenry-ph-d-9781440840340","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
