Like a Virgin by Aarathi Prasad
A rising star of pop science investigates whether virgin birth might be possible in the near future - and what it will mean to the family"Think of her as the female equivalent of Brian Cox making science accessible for the masses.. Entertaining and provocative, this promises to change the way you think about sex."
* Stylist *"A fascinating examination of a future that may not be too distant, as well as an account of historical misconceptions about conception."
* Kirkus Reviews *"[Prasad's] elegantly written romp through the science and history of conception is conceivably as much fun as you’ll ever have thinking about sex without working up a sweat."
