Having Faith

Sandra Steingraber is a great ecologist, mother, and author. I was really impressed by reading the journey of this scientist during her pregnancy. The book content is thought-provoking and very emotional as it describes detailed steps of her motherhood from the time she feels she is pregnant until breastfeeding. The impact of environmental hazards and chemical toxic on pregnancy and breastfeeding are informative and educative, such as significant relationship found between drinking-water contamination and low birth weight in North Carolina or high prenatal exposures to POPs correlated with a high incidence of middle-ear infections among  one-year-olds living in Inuit-northern Quebec. I recommend all-especially women- to read this invaluable book.
