A look at how toxins derived from the world around us are used! We're talking poisons, venoms, any compounds generated by animals, plants, fungi, and other natural processes. Whether used for defending against herbivores (🌱), capturing dinner (🕷️) , or even cutting loose after a long week (🍸), toxins are inescapable!

A list of books for the natural science nerds! Selections include topics on ecology, evolution, environmental science, environmental biology, and the folks who make the science happen!

Brain, consciousness, the hidden pathways of our mind. [Disclaimer: Some of these books have been hotly discussed as they often handle sensitive topics - look up trigger warnings and potential problematic discussions before reading to see if it is the right fit for you.]

Non-fiction books about health and how our body works, from anatomy to mental health, from healing to studying medicine. 😷 [Note: Some of these books might be controversial or resonate with some more than with others. Pick and choose what works for YOU. :)] Recommendations welcome
