JOSEPH'S BOOK REVIEW
"Homes That Heal (And Those That Don't): How Your Home Could Be Harming Your Family's Health", by Athena Thompson. Available at: Amazon
Reports have been focused increasingly on the declining health of children in industrialized countries. At the same time, there is consistent news about poor indoor air quality, mold and how buildings can make people sick. Homes that Heal addresses both of these issues, revealing that our homes can contribute to many of these health problems. A passionate examination of our built environment and the alarming impact today’s chemically polluted
world is having on the health of present and future generations, Homes That Heal is easy-to-read, solutions-oriented and humorous, full of stories and solid advice that empower families to take back their health on a daily basis.
Topics covered include a Healthy Home Quiz; a room-by-room examination of problems and solutions; toxic materials used in house construction and remodelling; cleaning products and
other consumer hazards found in the home; and an easy-to-understand intro to Bau-biologie & Ecology. Packed with useful information and resources, Homes That Heal is written to be easily understood by busy mothers and will appeal to anyone interested in the health of their family.
