Having Faith: An Ecologist's Journey to Motherhood
by Sandra Steingraber
A cross between the quirkily thorough detail of Natalie Angier's science-writing and the passionate environmental advocacy of Rachel Carson. The climax of this story is the dilemma over the safety of breastfeeding. The medical benefits of breast milk are compelling. But with rising environmental pollution, biomagnification implies that deadly toxins like DDT and dioxin will concentrate in human milk, the top of the food chain. The only answer: fight pollution and make the world safer for nursing babies. Parents-to-be or anyone concerned with environmental pollution will want to read and discuss this and act.
