Sandra Steingraber on Having Faith: An Ecologist's Journey to Motherhood
Description:
Steingraber speaks at Powell's books about her new book Having Faith which includes topics like pregnancy, cancer, toxic chemicals and breast feeding. She also talks about how smoking and air pollution can affect the rate of survival of eggs and sperm. Steingarber is nursing a baby while giving this lecture. She also talks about breastfeeding versus bottle feeding and the intelligence of the baby. The latter part of her read can get pretty graphic.
