Features: "The Ten Months of Pregnancy" is highly engaging. Dr. Sandra Steingraber, a perceptive ecologist, meticulously and poetically records her first pregnancy in chronological order, as well as her exploration of the subtle and complex threats posed by environmental chemicals to reproduction. This book is worth reading by every soon-to-be parent and every medical student. In this inspiring work, Dr. Sandra Steingraber, a talented writer, first-time mother, and respected ecologist, delves into the inner ecology of motherhood. This beautiful and mysterious book weaves scientific content—such as new discoveries in genetics, the delicate formation and development of embryonic organs, the structure of the fetal brain, and the astonishing transformations the mother undergoes to nourish and protect the new life—into the story of her own pregnancy and childbirth, told in the order of the ten months of gestation. At the same time, Steingraber reveals the shocking extent to which environmental hazards—ranging from industrial toxins found in amniotic fluid to toxins contaminating breast milk—now threaten every critical stage of infant development. The narrative perspective of this book is novel. The author shares her experiences of being adopted as a child, her battle with cancer at the age of 20, her marriage to her husband, and her two-year breastfeeding journey, at appropriate times and sometimes when you least expect it. It resonates with everyone who loves family and cherishes life, while also emphasizing the importance of protecting nature, human reproduction, and future infants through the process of an ecologist becoming a mother. This book is a heartwarming and fascinating popular science read that everyone can and should read.
