图书描述

*Starred Review* In her exceptional history, science journalist Williams does more to enlighten us on the virtues of, workings of, and perils to women’s breasts than anyone ever has before, notwithstanding the efforts of the three H’s: Hooters, Hefner, and Hughes (Howard, inventor of the cantilever bra). And she does it with smarts, sass, and intent. Her book can be characterized as an exposé because it unveils the scandalously scanty amount of research devoted to those that define the very essence of the human race. To be sure, Williams covers all the cultural and anthropological information that the mostly male scientific—and not-so-scientific—community has gathered about what is euphemistically referred to as second base. And she goes much further, elucidating the primary purpose of the female breast and how breasts alter at each stage of a woman’s life, then venturing into breast enlargements, the chemistry of breast milk, how breasts are evolving, and how little we know about the effects of environmental toxins and the rise in breast cancer. Meant to nurture the next generation for life on planet earth, breasts are also humanity’s first responders to environmental changes. And what have modern-day chemical exposures wrought? The answers to this question and many more are found in Williams’ remarkably informative and compelling work of discovery. --Donna Chavez

Review

“Florence Williams's double-D talents as a reporter and writer lift this book high above the genre and separate it from the ranks of ordinary science writing. Breasts is illuminating, surprising, clever, important. Williams is an author to savor and look forward to.” (Mary Roach )

“Be brave, buy this book, and withstand the giggles and sniggers of your friends. For here is a wonderful history, stretching across hundreds of millions of years, of an astonishingly complex part of the human body. Williams weaves together research on nutrition, cancer, psychology, and even structural engineering to create a fascinating portrait of the breast: that singular gland that gave us, as mammals, our very name.” (Carl Zimmer, author of Parasite Rex and Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea )

“A wonderful and entertaining tour through the evolution, biology and cultural aspects of the organ that defines us as mammals!” (Susan Love, M.D., M.B.A., President of Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation )

“In her comprehensive 'environmental history' of the only human body part without its own medical specialty,…Williams focuses on the importance of understanding breasts as more than sex objects…Williams puts hard data and personal history together with humor, creating an evenhanded cautionary tale that will both amuse and appall.” (Publishers Weekly )

“Starred Review. ...exceptional history... with smarts, sass, and intent.... Meant to nurture the next generation for life on planet Earth, breasts are also humanity’s first responders to environmental changes. And what have modern-day chemical exposures wrought? The answers to this question and many more are found in Williams’ remarkably informative and compelling work of discovery.” (Booklist )

以历史的角度来谈关于乳房的各种话题,当然是以疾病、早熟、环境污染等问题为主啦。看完只记住了几个要点:1.我们已被污染,并通过乳汁污染下一代。2.女性早熟者女性疾病发病率高,饮食要清淡。3.男性受污染严重也会得乳癌

同事介绍的好书。乳房啊乳房,充满性暗示的器官,开启生命的器官,让人区别于其他灵长类的器官。滥用的塑化剂和其他毒素最终也汇聚在此,也许最终终结人类的也是它。不论男女其实都该看看。

2008年1月,一名45岁的美国退伍海军士兵不小心撞到了自己的胸部,却感觉不太对劲。“我想一定是在打篮球时吃了拐子。”在妻子的督促下,他去医院挂号检查,却诊断出了第三期乳腺癌,癌细胞已经扩散到了淋巴组织。 过去十年,美国每年约有20万例乳腺癌病例确诊,4万人因此去世...

给大家说个段子:某老板面试秘书,有三个女子来面试。老板故意在走廊上丢了一百块钱,一个女子看到了没有去捡,一个女子捡起来自己装了起来,一个女子捡起来了交给前台,请问老板选择了哪一个?答案是选择了胸大的那个。男性的猥琐,有时候就体现在这种赤裸裸的乳房歧视上。 ...
