In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction, an
urgent, “disturbing, empowering, and essential” (Kirkus
Reviews, starred review) 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 “staggering in its
findings” (Erin Brockovich, The Guardian) and “will serve as an
awakening” (The New York Times Book Review).
