    The Happy Vagina shines a light on both the unique and sometimes awkward facts about everything gynaecological, creating an open dialogue for all sexes and generations. 
    “A fierce and fabulous celebration of women. Mika’s straight-talking, no-nonsense writing means she is the friend we don’t just want, but need. Beautiful and empowering. A must read.” – Laura Whitmore 
    In a world where the vagina is still, too frequently, considered taboo, this book aims to entertain, educate and enlighten. Mika Simmons, creator and host of 'The Happy Vagina' podcast, rightly believes that this taboo is problematic and can lead to a whole host of health issues. Intimate health and pleasure can be hard to talk about, regardless of background or experience, The Happy Vagina is here to smash this stigma for women, and men. 
    Medicine, politics, religion, and social conditioning have all had a thoroughly improper and exaggerated influence on women’s being – with many of the falsehoods told still negatively impacting us. Mika’s intention is to re-educate us all by shining a light on these ridiculous, historical myths and then debunk them by sharing the most unique, incredible, and empowering facts about the vagina, thereby encouraging a more open dialogue for everyone. 
    Covering everything from the myth of the wandering womb to mindful masturbation and orgasms to period poverty, the history of contraception, pregnancy and being childfree, Mika’s approachable and positive message urges all of us to know, and appreciate, our own bodies. 
    The Happy Vagina is a best-selling, top-rated book in the medical genre, providing an illustrated guide to gynaecology and obstetrics. Mika Simmons promotes a healthy body and spirit, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in fitness and women's health. 
    For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Davinia Taylor (It's Not A Diet), Matthew Mcconaughey (Greenlights), Lara Briden Nd (Period Repair Manual), and Cory Silverberg (The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability).

  • Chorology - Geographical Distributions: How Organisms Spread Across the Planet - cover

    Chorology - Geographical...

    Chorology, the study of the geographical distribution of organisms, offers crucial insights into how life is spread across the planet. This scientific discipline examines the patterns, processes, and factors that determine where species occur and why they are found in particular regions. From dense tropical rainforests to arid deserts and remote island ecosystems, chorology helps explain the complex relationships between organisms and their environments. Understanding these distributions is essential not only for ecological research but also for conservation efforts, climate change studies, and predicting future biodiversity trends. 
    The origins of chorology date back to early explorations and observations of naturalists who noted how plants and animals varied across regions. Over time, with advancements in biology, geography, and technology, chorology has developed into a distinct field of study. It now integrates concepts from ecology, evolution, geology, and climatology to provide a comprehensive understanding of how species disperse, adapt, and thrive in diverse environments. By identifying distribution patterns, chorologists can trace the historical movements of species, understand their evolutionary relationships, and predict how current and future environmental changes might alter these patterns. 
    One of the fundamental aspects of chorology is recognizing that species distributions are influenced by a combination of environmental, biological, and historical factors. Climate, topography, soil composition, and availability of resources play significant roles in determining where species can survive and reproduce. Additionally, interactions such as competition, predation, and symbiosis shape the presence or absence of species in particular areas.
