具体描述

*Starred Review* In her exceptional history, science journalist Williams does more to enlighten us on the virtues of, workings of, and perils to women’s breasts than anyone ever has before, notwithstanding the efforts of the three H’s: Hooters, Hefner, and Hughes (Howard, inventor of the cantilever bra). And she does it with smarts, sass, and intent. Her book can be characterized as an exposé because it unveils the scandalously scanty amount of research devoted to those that define the very essence of the human race. To be sure, Williams covers all the cultural and anthropological information that the mostly male scientific—and not-so-scientific—community has gathered about what is euphemistically referred to as second base. And she goes much further, elucidating the primary purpose of the female breast and how breasts alter at each stage of a woman’s life, then venturing into breast enlargements, the chemistry of breast milk, how breasts are evolving, and how little we know about the effects of environmental toxins and the rise in breast cancer. Meant to nurture the next generation for life on planet earth, breasts are also humanity’s first responders to environmental changes. And what have modern-day chemical exposures wrought? The answers to this question and many more are found in Williams’ remarkably informative and compelling work of discovery. --Donna Chavez

Review

“Florence Williams's double-D talents as a reporter and writer lift this book high above the genre and separate it from the ranks of ordinary science writing. Breasts is illuminating, surprising, clever, important. Williams is an author to savor and look forward to.” (Mary Roach )

“Be brave, buy this book, and withstand the giggles and sniggers of your friends. For here is a wonderful history, stretching across hundreds of millions of years, of an astonishingly complex part of the human body. Williams weaves together research on nutrition, cancer, psychology, and even structural engineering to create a fascinating portrait of the breast: that singular gland that gave us, as mammals, our very name.” (Carl Zimmer, author of Parasite Rex and Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea )

“A wonderful and entertaining tour through the evolution, biology and cultural aspects of the organ that defines us as mammals!” (Susan Love, M.D., M.B.A., President of Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation )

“In her comprehensive 'environmental history' of the only human body part without its own medical specialty,…Williams focuses on the importance of understanding breasts as more than sex objects…Williams puts hard data and personal history together with humor, creating an evenhanded cautionary tale that will both amuse and appall.” (Publishers Weekly )

“Starred Review. ...exceptional history... with smarts, sass, and intent.... Meant to nurture the next generation for life on planet Earth, breasts are also humanity’s first responders to environmental changes. And what have modern-day chemical exposures wrought? The answers to this question and many more are found in Williams’ remarkably informative and compelling work of discovery.” (Booklist )

读后感

给大家说个段子：某老板面试秘书，有三个女子来面试。老板故意在走廊上丢了一百块钱，一个女子看到了没有去捡，一个女子捡起来自己装了起来，一个女子捡起来了交给前台，请问老板选择了哪一个？答案是选择了胸大的那个。男性的猥琐，有时候就体现在这种赤裸裸的乳房歧视上。 ...

这是我在2012年根据英文版（W. W. Norton & Company版本）为《深圳特区报》写的书评：现代社会中，女性乳房这一自然的器官担任了多种角色，诸如幻想中心、文化符号、社会禁忌等等，负荷沉重，然而我们对乳房的生理作用、它对女性本身以及对下一代的正面和负面作用、以及环境...

新书出来后，每天都会下意识地搜好几遍书名，今天一眼看到《梅奥拯救乳房全书：乳腺癌抗癌权威指南》。跟它的权威性和不可替代性比起来，这本小粉书很窘迫。只有纽约时报和洛杉矶时报的背书，在某个宣传页面上，还因为出示不了盖章的获奖奖状而被要求撤下了这两行背书。...

这本让我爱不释手的书，简直是一次心灵的洗礼。作者的文笔细腻入微，仿佛能将读者带入那个特定的时空，去感受每一个角色的喜怒哀乐。情节的推进张弛有度，高潮迭起却又自然流畅，绝没有那种为了制造戏剧性而刻意为之的生硬感。我特别欣赏作者对人物内心世界的刻画，那些细微的情感波动，那些在日常生活中常常被忽略的心理活动，都被挖掘得淋漓尽致。读到某些段落时，我甚至会停下来，反复咀嚼那些句子，思考它们背后蕴含的深意。它不仅仅是一个故事，更像是一面镜子，映照出人性中复杂而又真实的一面。看完之后，心中久久不能平静，有种意犹未尽的感觉，迫不及待地想向所有热爱深度阅读的朋友们推荐。它成功地在故事性和思想性之间找到了完美的平衡点，让人在享受阅读乐趣的同时，也能获得深刻的启迪。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这部作品展现了一种罕见的成熟与克制。它没有用华丽的辞藻去堆砌空洞的场景，而是用最朴实、最贴近生活的语言，描绘出了一个宏大且真实的世界。作者对于细节的把握简直到了偏执的程度，正是这些微小而真实的细节，构筑起了整个故事坚实的骨架。我特别注意到作者在处理时间跨度上的手法，它时而如白驹过隙，时而又如慢镜头般拉长，这种对时间感的掌控，极大地增强了叙事的沉浸感。对于那些追求文学性和思想深度的读者来说，这本书无疑是一份厚礼。它不迎合大众口味，它只忠于自己的艺术追求，并最终用其卓越的品质赢得了我的尊重。读完后，合上书页的那一刻，我感受到的不是情节结束的失落，而是一种被丰富和滋养的充实感，这种感觉非常难得。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

拿起这本书的瞬间，我就被封面设计那种极简主义的美学深深吸引了，而内页的内容更是有过之而无不及。这本书的节奏感拿捏得极其精准，开篇的铺陈虽然看似缓慢，实则是在为后续的爆发力积蓄能量。一旦进入中段，那种如同暗潮涌动般的张力便会牢牢抓住你的注意力，让你无法轻易放下。我尤其欣赏作者在环境描写上的功力，那些景物描写不仅仅是背景板，它们似乎拥有了自己的生命，与角色的心境形成了微妙的呼应和映衬。阅读过程中，我经常会产生一种强烈的代入感，仿佛自己就是故事中的一员，亲历着他们的挣扎与成长。这是一本需要用心去“听”和“感受”的书，而非仅仅用眼睛“扫过”。它带来的情感冲击是持久且深刻的，看完后，我感觉自己对某些人际关系的理解又深进了一层。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书给我的整体感觉是“酣畅淋漓”，但这种酣畅并非来自于简单的快意恩仇，而是源自于对复杂人性近乎残酷的剖析。作者的勇气值得称赞，他敢于触碰那些社会中光鲜亮丽外表下隐藏的阴影，并且毫不留情地揭示出来。行文间充满了锐利的观察和精准的判断，那些看似随意的一笔，实则暗藏玄机，充满了伏笔和暗示。我喜欢这种需要读者主动参与到解读过程中的叙事方式，它极大地提升了阅读的参与感和智力上的满足感。与其说是在读故事，不如说是在参与一场精彩的智力博弈。书中的对话尤其精彩，它们简短、有力，充满了潜台词，每一次交锋都火花四溅，让人拍案叫绝。如果你厌倦了那些老套的、缺乏新意的作品，这本书绝对能带给你久违的阅读兴奋感。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

老实说，我原本对这类题材的书抱持着谨慎的态度，但这本书彻底颠覆了我的固有印象。它的叙事视角非常独特，采用了多线交织的方式，却能保持清晰不乱的脉络，这本身就是一种高超的技巧。每一条线索都有其存在的必要性和逻辑性，它们像精密的齿轮一样咬合在一起，最终导向一个令人震撼的结局。更难能可贵的是，作者对于社会议题的探讨，并没有采取说教式的口吻，而是巧妙地融入到人物的命运和选择之中，让读者在潜移默化中进行思考。语言风格上，它时而诙谐幽默，时而又沉郁顿挫，这种变化让阅读体验充满了新鲜感，根本不会让人感到枯燥乏味。我已经很久没有读到这样结构严谨、内涵丰富的作品了，绝对值得花时间细细品味，它不仅仅是一本书，更像是一部值得反复研读的文学作品。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

同事介绍的好书。乳房啊乳房，充满性暗示的器官，开启生命的器官，让人区别于其他灵长类的器官。滥用的塑化剂和其他毒素最终也汇聚在此，也许最终终结人类的也是它。不论男女其实都该看看。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

Modern medicine focuses more on ‘proven’ relationship between diseases and causes, while the book links potential threats to humans, particularly females and their offspring through lactating, with modern lifestyles and ‘improvements’ of living conditions. It also dives into future options with progresses in sciences. #Thanks to Shanghai Library

以历史的角度来谈关于乳房的各种话题，当然是以疾病、早熟、环境污染等问题为主啦。看完只记住了几个要点：1.我们已被污染，并通过乳汁污染下一代。2.女性早熟者女性疾病发病率高，饮食要清淡。3.男性受污染严重也会得乳癌
