COUNT DOWN - SHANNA H SWAN STACEY COLINO KARTON...

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-and endangering-human sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale  from renowned
epidemiologist 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.
