Reviews
"Grounded in irrefutable science and laced with dry, engaging wit, this epic book asks monumental questions: Has humanity entered into a fertility death spiral? If so, why is it happening, how far will it go, and when will it peak? Finally, what can and must be done? If you dream of children, grandchildren and generations beyond, you must read this book." --Pete Myers, PhD, coauthor of Our Stolen Future

Synopsis
In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction , an urgent, "disturbing, empowering, and essential" ( Kirkus Reviews , starred review) book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing--and endangering--human sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale, from renowned epidemiologist Shanna Swan. In 2017, author Shanna Swan and her team of researchers completed a major study. They found that over the past four decades, sperm levels among men in Western countries have dropped by more than 50 percent. They came to this conclusion after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men. The result sent shockwaves around the globe--but the story didn't end there. It turns out our sexual development is changing in broader ways, for both men and women and even other species, and that the modern world is on pace to become an infertile one. How and why could this happen? What is hijacking our fertility and our health? Count Down unpacks these questions, revealing what Swan and other researchers have learned about how both lifestyle and chemical exposures are affecting our fertility, sexual development--potentially including the increase in gender fluidity--and general health as a species. Engagingly explaining the science and repercussions of these worldwide threats and providing simple and practical guidelines for effectively avoiding chemical goods (from water bottles to shaving cream) both as individuals and societies, Count Down is "staggering in its findings" (Erin Brockovich, The Guardian) and "will serve as an awakening" ( The New York Times Book Review )., In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction, an urgent, meticulously researched, and groundbreaking book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing human sexuality and endangering fertility on a vast scale, from renowned scientist Shanna Swan. In 2017, Swan and her team of researchers completed a major study. They found that over the previous four decades, sperm levels among men in Western countries had plummeted by more than 50 percent. Sexual development is changing broadly, for both men and women, and the modern world is on pace to become an infertile one. Chemical exposures are affecting our fertility, sexual development, and functionality-even, perhaps, gender identity-and overall health. Not just an illuminating overview of a grave threat but a helpful guide to protecting ourselves against it, Count Down is an urgent wake-up call, an enjoyable read, and a vital tool for understanding our future. Book jacket., An urgent book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing--and endangering--human sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale.

    Ordered THE ROCKFORD FILES season three from this seller (art.planet.store) brand new and on DVD. They got it to me way earlier than listed and I got to say, in all the years buying things by mail, this seller by far super wrapped the best. It will take me shorter time to watch the series then it took to unwrap the layers! 😃 Great price, shipping and seller.
