Slick Water is the 2016 Science in Society Journalism Awards recipient and received honourable mention for the 15th annual Rachel Carson Book Award. Mr. Nikiforuk's previous book, Tar Sands, Dirty Oil and the Future of the Continent, received the 2009 Rachel Carson Book Award. Slick Water will be on sale.
