Environmental history has traditionally told the story of Man and Nature. Scholars have too frequently overlooked the ways in which their predominantly male subjects have themselves been shaped by gender. Seeing Nature through Gender here reintroduces gender as a meaningful category of analysis for environmental history, showing how women's actions, desires, and choices have shaped the world and seeing men as gendered actors as well. In thirteen essays that show how gendered ideas have shaped the ways in which people have represented, experienced, and consumed their world, Virginia Scharff and her coauthors explore interactions between gender and environment in history. Ranging from colonial borderlands to transnational boundaries, from mountaintop to marketplace, they focus on historical representations of humans and nature, on questions about consumption, on environmental politics, and on the complex reciprocal relations among human bodies and changing landscapes. They also challenge the "ecofeminist" position by challenging the notion that men and women are essentially different creatures with biologically different destinies. Each article shows how a person or group of people in history have understood nature in gendered terms and acted accordingly—often with dire consequences for other people and organisms. Here are considerations of the ways we study sexuality among birds, of William Byrd's masking sexual encounters in his account of an eighteenth-century expedition, of how the ecology of fire in a changing built environment has reshaped firefighters' own gendered identities. Some are playful, as in a piece on the evolution of "snow bunnies" to "shred betties." Others are dead serious, as in a chilling portrait of how endocrine disrupters are reinventing humans, animals, and water systems from the cellular level out. Aiding and adding significantly to the enterprise of environmental history, Seeing Nature through Gender bridges gender history and environmental history in unexpected ways to show us how the natural world can remake the gendered patterns we've engraved on ourselves and on the planet.

With hormonal imbalance, the risk of conditions associated with aging - cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis or heart disease - is magnified. If our hormones are in balance, we have the potential to age gracefully and remain youthful. The complete fat-loss and preventative health guide for men and women has finally arrived. What's the secret? It's in your hormones! In The Hormone Diet, Natasha Turner lays out a fool-proof plan to balance your life, one hormone at a time. But it is more than just a diet book. Along with advice for weight loss, Turner provides recommendations for an anti-inflammatory detox, nutritional supplements, exercise, sleep, stress management, toxin-free skin care and natural hormone replacement, along with a personalized diet plan - all incorporated into a complete 3-step wellness program focused on the essentials of hormonal balance for lasting health and fat loss.

An expert in natural hormone supplementation, Dr. Erika Schwartz delivers a comprehensive, proven program to help women feel 30 again-without hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The symptons of hormone imbalance are all too familiar for the millions of women who suffer from hot flashes, depression, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, and loss of libido on a daily basis. For years, these women have depended on synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to relieve their symptoms. But now that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has halted its government- run study and confirmed that HRT can have detrimental effects, including a higher risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke, women are frantically searching for new treatments that are safe and effective. Dr. Schwartz presents a proven, 30-day program, which includes a natural hormone regimen, dietary advice, and information on exercise, vitamins, and supplements, that will alleviate symptoms and keep women feeling-and looking-young.

D. Lindsey Berkson MA CNS DABCN is a participating scholar at a science-focused think tank that specializes in the most up-to-date research on estrogen, called the Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane and Xavier Universities. Berkson has lectured to doctors of all backgrounds on health and hormones for 30 years. She has a master's degree in nutrition, higher board certifications in nutrition, formulated the 1st non-hormonal nutritional supplement for menopause for doctor's use in practice (in the 80's) and she consults with many doctors and patient's on hormonal issues. This is her 4th book on hormones, such as Hormone Deception - one of the earliest books on the role of the environment and pollutants on hormones and health.

Foreword by Izabella Wentz, New York Times bestselling author of Hashimoto’s Protocol A revolutionary, wellness-centered functional approach to managing hormonal imbalance by the first physician in the United States to be certified by both the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Board of Integrative Medicine. Every woman deserves to feel her best. Do you suffer from headaches, irregular periods, or fatigue? You’re not alone. Four out of five women will face life-altering hormonal imbalances, debilitating conditions that wreak havoc on their physical and mental health—yet most of these issues go unacknowledged, undiagnosed, and untreated. Called “America’s Holistic Gynecologist,” Dr. Shawn Tassone has devoted his career to helping women achieve hormonal balance and live healthier, happier lives. The Hormone Balance Bible is the culmination of Dr. Tassone’s decades of research and clinical work with tens of thousands of patients. Here, Dr. Tassone guides women to understanding their hormonal profile and gives them the tools to feel better in as little as one week. After taking Dr. Tassone’s Integrative Hormone Mapping Quiz—an easy-to-understand diagnostic tool with an astonishing level of accuracy—readers will identify their Hormone Archetype (Nun, Wisewoman, Queen, etc.) and benefit from his six-step SHINES Protocol: Spiritual Practice, Hormones, Infoceuticals, Nutrition, Exercise, and Supplements, the world’s first fully integrative, truly holistic treatment plan for hormonal imbalance. A proven roadmap to wellness, The Hormone Balance Bible provides readers with sustainable practices that can easily be incorporated into daily life.

Toxicity testing is used to assess the safety or hazards presented by substances such as industrial chemicals, consumer products, and pharmaceuticals. At present, many methods involve laboratory animals. Alternative procedures, some involving human cell-based technologies, are now being developed which reduce, refine, or replace animal usage and minimize the pain and distress caused. These new tests must protect public health and the environment at least as well as currently accepted methods. This book describes the ever-expanding "toolbox" of methods available to assess toxicity. Such techniques often result from our growing understanding of the biochemical and cellular pathways that mediate toxicity mechanisms. This permits evaluations of information generated from several sources to generate a "weight of evidence". By combining in silico, in vitro, and ex vivo methods with technologies that rely on biochemical- and cell-based in vitro assays, toxicologists are developing mechanistically based alternatives to live animal experimentation. This text also explores the complexities associated with adequate validation, and the assessment of test reliability and relevance. It provides an essential reference source for postgraduates, academics and industrialists working in this rapidly changing area.
