TOXIN TOXOUT
LOURIE, BRUCE
Following the runaway success of their first book, 2 of Canada's leading environmental activists give
practical and often surprising advice for removing toxic chemicals from our bodies and homes. There are
over 80,000 synthetic chemicals in commerce today, including hormone-disrupting phthalates and
parabens, cancer-causing pesticides, heavy metals and air pollutants. Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie use
their outrageous experiments (they and their brave volunteers are the guinea pigs) to prove how easily
our bodies absorb these chemicals from the foods we eat, the air we breathe, and the products we smear
on our skin--day after day. Then they give us the good news about what is in our control and the steps we
can take for reducing our toxic burden. They investigate the truth behind organic foods, which detox
methods actually work, if indoor air quality is improving, and how we dispose of waste (where do those
chemicals go?). The result is nothing short of a prescription for a healthier life.

TROUBLED DAUGHTERS, TWISTED WIVES
WEINMAN, SARAH
Murderous wives, deranged husbands, deceitful children, and vengeful friends. Few know these
characters—and their creators—better than Sarah Weinman. One of today’s preeminent authorities on
crime fiction, Weinman asks: Where would bestselling authors like Gillian Flynn, Sue Grafton, or Tana
French be without the women writers who came before them? In Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives,
Weinman brings together fourteen hair-raising tales by women who—from the 1940s through the mid-
1970s—took a scalpel to contemporary society and sliced away to reveal its dark essence. Lovers of
crime fiction from any era will welcome this deliciously dark tribute to a largely forgotten generation of
women writers.
