imaginary girl
(890 posts)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.

(7 posts)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.
