Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History by Florence Williams

2.0

This book was not what I thought it was going to be. I love reading about research and what scientist have discovered about our quickly changing lifestyles and how it's impacting us in unimaginable ways. But the most frustrating thing about this book was the lack of consistency. She would write about one persons research and then turn around and use contradicting research to disprove it. I understand that it's just how science is. One big, expensive gathering of conflicting data. But if you know the research has no consensus, then why write a book on that topic? To scare your readers not to trust anything but also have no concrete reason NOT to trust it?
