Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History.....


This book is funny, irreverent, well-researched, and thoroughly engaging. Florence Williams does her research. She takes us on a tour de boob from its evolutionary history to the EPA, from a plastic surgeon's office to breasts' susceptibility to environmental exposures, using her own body as guinea pig. She dives into 18th century anatomical texts, and follows the latest research on early puberty and its link to breast cancer. Williams' prose is clear and eloquent, and at times hilarious. She strikes the perfect balance between informing, educating and entertaining the reader. This book is a page-turner, and the information in it could not be more timely. Put this book on your Must Read list and share it with everyone you know.
