Summary:
"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 as vast scale, from renowened scientist 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 at once an urgent wake-up call, an illuminating read, and a vital tool for the protection of
our
future
