- Phosphorescence : a memoir of finding joy when the world goes dark / by Baird, Julia(Julia Woodlands),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."After surviving a difficult heartbreak and battle with cancer, Julia Baird began to explore how she and others persevere through the most challenging circumstances life throws at us. She asks: when our world goes dark, when we are overwhelmed by illness or heartbreak, loss or pain, tragedy outside our control, how do we survive, stay alive and even bloom? She went in search of "the magic that will sustain us and fuel the light within - our own phosphorescence ". Phosphorescence can be found in nature - in glow worms, fireflies, flashlight fish, bioluminescent oceans; it is a phenomenon that allows creatures to give off light amidst darkness. Baird writes about the things that lit her way through the darkness: a connection to nature, friendships, her faith, experiencing awe, and other habits that changed her life. She also goes in search of how others nurture their inner light, interviewing the founder of the modern forest therapy movement in Tokyo, a jellyfish scientist in Tasmania, and a tattooed priest from Colorado, among others. Weaving together candid memoir with research and reflections on nature, Baird inspires readers to embrace new habits and adopt a phosphorescent outlook on life, to illuminate our days even in the darkest times"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Baird, Julia (Julia Woodlands); Hope.; Ovaries; Philosophy of nature.; Phosphorescence.;

- Blood : the science, medicine, and mythology of menstruation / by Gunter, Jen,author.;
Most of us know about as much about how the uterus and ovaries function as we do about how the liver works. Add in societal shame around the menstrual cycle, and it's not surprising that misinformation is widespread. But, as women's health advocate and trusted OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter writes, "you don't have to think about your liver 5 days a month for 30 years, so I'd argue people should know more about the uterus." Enter Blood, the galvanizing new book dispels the shame, mythology, and misinformation around menstruation with scientific facts, medical expertise, and a fierce feminist perspective. Surprising, funny, and fact-filled, Blood is an essential and empowering resource from the doctor who, in the words of Dr. Lori Brotto, Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health, "takes the mystery out of women's health and replaces it with evidence-informed concrete recommendations."- Subjects: Gynecology.; Menstrual cycle.; Menstruation.; Women;
