Title :
La cura della natura. Perché la natura ci rende più sani, creativi e feliciAuthor: Williams Florence Publisher: Piano B Per secoli filosofi e poeti hanno esaltato i benefici di una passeggiata nei boschi: Beethoven si lasciava ispirare da rocce e alberi; Wordsworth componeva i suoi inni nella brughiera inglese; Tesla concepì il motore elettrico mentre camminava in un parco. Il nostro mondo, però, è sempre più rivolto al chiuso. In 'La cura della natura', Florence Williams si propone di chiarire che cosa comporta questa disconnessione dall'aria aperta per la nostra psiche e il nostro corpo, e che cosa la ricerca scientifica ha scoperto a proposito della connessione tra natura e cervello umano. Come in una sorta di viaggio intorno al mondo - dal Giappone, alla Corea, alla Finlandia, California e Scozia - l'autrice tenta di scoprire perché, come la scienza sta via via chiarendo, passare quanto più tempo possibile nella natura ci renda più felici, più sani e più creativi. € 22,00

Title :
Toxin ToxoutAuthor: Lourie Bruce, Smith Rick, Williams Florence (FRW) Publisher: St Martins Pr The Rubber Duck boys are back, and after showing us all the ways that toxins get IN our bodies, now they give us a guide for scrubbing those toxins OUT. Following the runaway success of their first book, two of North America's leading environmental activists give practical and often surprising advice for removing toxic chemicals and cleansing our bodies and homes. There are over 80,000 synthetic chemicals in commerce today, including hormone-disrupting phthalates and parabens, cancer-causing pesticides, heavy metals and air pollutants. Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie use their outrageous experiments (they and their brave volunteers are the guinea pigs) to prove how easily our bodies absorb these chemicals from the foods we eat, the air we breathe, and the products we smear on our skin--day after day. Then they give us the good news about what is in our control and the steps we can take for reducing our toxic burden. They investigate the truth behind organic foods, which detox methods actually work, if indoor air quality is improving, and how we dispose of waste (where do those chemicals go?). The result is nothing short of a prescription for a healthier life. € 21,80

Title :
BreastsAuthor: Williams Florence Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc Did you know that breast milk contains substances similar to cannabis? Or that it’s sold on the Internet for 262 times the price of oil? Feted and fetishized, the breast is an evolutionary masterpiece. But in the modern world, the breast is changing. Breasts are getting bigger, arriving earlier, and attracting newfangled chemicals. Increasingly, the odds are stacked against us in the struggle with breast cancer, even among men. What makes breasts so mercurial—and so vulnerable? In this informative and highly entertaining account, intrepid science reporter Florence Williams sets out to uncover the latest scientific findings from the fields of anthropology, biology, and medicine. Her investigation follows the life cycle of the breast from puberty to pregnancy to menopause, taking her from a plastic surgeon’s office where she learns about the importance of cup size in Texas to the laboratory where she discovers the presence of environmental toxins in her own breast milk. The result is a fascinating exploration of where breasts came from, where they have ended up, and what we can do to save them. € 14,80
