From Ali Velshi's banned book club on MSNBC. It is excellent. I don't know why the righties freak out about it.

By Lucy Jones. About pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood in our current society. Examines the influence of politics, science, and gender bias and the roles they play. Very interesting book, though it's definitely intended as a conversation starter rather than a definitive work.

If you know the Avatar: the Last Airbender, you'll enjoy it. However, read the prequel, "Rise of Kyoshi" first.

Interesting but I'm still unclear if the author really is one, or even if I know what the term means.

It's a memoir

An eye opening, life changing book that explains the possible causes and outcomes of previous climate catastrophes on our planet. And what that tells us about where where life on earth is heading as our population swells beyond the resources available to us and our climate gets worse because of it.
