He uses a series of fascinating case studies to show how nations managed existential challenges like civil war, foreign threats, and general malaise.

The author chose to write about it as she is suffering from a rare condition called premenstrual dysphoric disorder, which has inadequate treatments.

Most humans have nine to 12 pints of blood in their body; and so, in this book George tells nine different stories revolving around blood.

For instance, she writes about the girls she met in Nepal who deal with the taboo surrounding menstruation or how an Indian entrepreneur named Arunachalam Muruganantham developed low-cost sanitary pads for poor women thus helping communities.

Im a big fan of books that go deep on one specific topic, so Nine Pints (the title refers to the volume of blood in the average adult) was right up my alley.

Its filled with super-interesting facts that will leave you with a new appreciation for blood, Bill Gates wrote.
