Our stolen future, by two leading environmentalists writing with an award-winning journalist, is the first book to put together the massive body of evidence of this grimly growing menace. For years, researches have noticed disruptions in the breeding cycles of numerous animals, from fish and birds to otters and wales. These were accompanied by increases in birth defects, sexual abnormalities and reproductive failure. Relying on decades of research , the authors provide a gripping detective story that traces the cause os these aberrations to the pervasive presence in the environment os chemicals that mimic natural hormones and trick the reproductive system.
