150 MOST-ASKED QUESTIONS about MENOPAUSE: What Women Really Want to Know
by Ruth S. Jacobowitz
by Ruth S. Jacobowitz
"The hormone changes associated with menopause may affect up to three hundred different body processes. And while menopause is a natural transition, each woman experiences it differently. That's why this book is vital. It is a woman-to-woman guide that answers 150 essential questions about menopause, authored by a talented medical writer whose lectures have helped more than twenty thousand women take control of their health at mid-life. Based on national surveys and on questionnaires from ten thousand women, the book shares the latest medical research in straightforward language, and it is filled with real-life examples that guide and inspire. Ruth Jacobowitz's own distressing menopause experience spurred her to help other women avoid the same fate. Here she answers queries ranging from important basics ("What are the signs and symptoms of menopause?") to the more complex ("Is it safe to take estrogen?"); from questions of heart-health ("Does estrogen therapy really help prevent heart attacks?") to the heart-felt ("Sex used to be great. What happened?"); and everything in between ("Will vitamin E help my hot flashes?" "How can I find the right doctor?" "What else can I do to stay in my prime?"). She also reveals surprising news about how men feel about menopause, and clarifies the wide array of treatment options. Engaging and medically up-to-the-minute, this book is a reassuring guide for women at this profound, sometimes unsettling, milestone of life."

ALL GROWN UP and NO PLACE TO GO: Teenagers in Crisis
by David Elkind (author of The Hurried Child)
by David Elkind (author of The Hurried Child)
All Grown Up and No Place to Go spotlights the pressures on teenagers to grow up quickly. The resulting problems range from common alienation to self-destructive behavior. Quoting teenagers themselves, Elkind shows why adolescence is a time of "thinking in a new key," and how young people need this time to get used to the social and emotional changes their new thinking brings. Many of his ideas, such as the "imaginary audience" that makes teens so self-conscious, have become seminal in adolescent psychology. In this thoroughly revised edition, Elkind also explores the "post-modern family" in which teenagers are growing up. He helps parents and those who work with youth understand teens in crucial ways, because the root of so many adolescent frictions is the gap between what teenagers need and what our culture provides.

Many losses, may tears - then God sent miracles!
by Ann Kiemel Anderson
People need to know...adopted children need to be taught...that for most birth mothers, giving up a baby is not an act of rejection. It is the most selfless, courageous, brave deed they can do. It is laying aside their own desires and longings, to bestow on that baby something greater and better than they can provide.

BE A SURVIVOR
Your Guide to Breast Cancer Treatment
by Vladimir Lange, M.D.
Your Guide to Breast Cancer Treatment
by Vladimir Lange, M.D.
"You have breast cancer." After the initial shock of diagnosis, women are faced with myriad questions about where to go and what to do next. Lange, a Harvard Medical School-trained physician who experienced his wife's battle with the disease, has written an especially user-friendly book for women seeking answers and a measure of hope. Be a Survivor follows the stages of treatment and recovery, offering a balanced, accessible text; highlighted topic boxes; excellent, detailed illustrations; and checklists of questions for doctors ("Could you give me the names of specialists you think I should see?"). There are informative sidebars and inspirational photos and quotes from survivors on almost every page. Lange's work also covers reconstruction, alternative therapies, clinical trials, and life after breast cancer. The book ends with a lengthy resource list, a glossary, and an index.
Several features make the book unique. It is by far the most visually appealing book on breast cancer. Hundreds of realistic photos and diagrams of radiation equipment, chemotherapy rooms, reconstructed mastectomies, etc. give the patients better insights.
It is objective — representing the viewpoints of over two dozen leading specialists, rather than that of a single oncologist or surgeon.
It is user friendly — clear explanations, lists of questions to ask, testimonials by survivors — all contribute to reassuring rather than intimidating the patient and her family.

The Ultimate Guide for Expectant Parents!
"Summoning information from the Mayo Clinic's expert staffs in obstetrics, pediatrics, family medicine and parent education, this detailed companion for prospective parents and the parents of very young children offers more than ample guidance on what seems an almost infinite range of subjects and important decisions facing parents. Though focusing for the most part on basic prenatal, birthing and developmental counseling, the book goes well beyond the minimum standard expected. For example, in the chapter ``Pregnancy and Ongoing Medical Conditions,'' the contributors discuss the effects of AIDS and herpes on pregnancy; an entire chapter is devoted to the medical, psychological and bureaucratic aspects of adoption; another counsels mothers on when and how to return to their jobs after childbirth."

The reader is drawn from the ``world of experience'' to the ``world of stories'' through poetry and prosaic imagery describing simple events in the child's life, both in the child's voice and in explanatory text.

MIRACLE FOOD CURES FROM THE BIBLE

Unlock the Miraculous Healing Power of Foods from the Bible
by Reese Dubin
In an illuminating guide to timeless remedies from the Old and New Testaments, this book offers readers a look to the Bible to heal the body and soul.
"This book is sort of a compilation of natural remedies taken from other similar books, with their permission of course, such as Secrets of The Chineese Herbalists, Miracle Medicine Foods, Miracle Medicine Herbs and a number of others, including some by John Heinerman. So you're getting a lot of great information from many books with out having to buy them all. Included are references to scientific studies when appropriate, written in an easy to understand style, when remedies are discussed along with many personal testimonials, which I always enjoy reading. Many if not all of the foods and herbs discussed are indeed mentioned in the Bible with numerous scriptures given where they are. There is an excellent index in the back which can be used to look up a condition and see what foods, herbs etc. can be beneficial for it or you can look up a food or herb and see a list of conditions they can be used for. This is very handy. A whole host of conditions are covered from arthritis, cancer, high blood pressure/cholestrol, ulcers, infections and many more too numerous to mention."

MOTHER-DAUGHTER WISDOM
Creating a Legacy of Physical and Emotional Health
by Christiane Northrup, M.D.
Creating a Legacy of Physical and Emotional Health
by Christiane Northrup, M.D.
It's a rare book that delivers so completely on such a broad promise. Mother-Daughter Wisdom is written to connect the dots between a number of separate parts: logical and emotional morality, physical and mental health, friends and family, and in an overarching sense, the relationship between being a woman's daughter and raising a daughter of your own.
Author Dr. Christiane Northup (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom) seamlessly blends personal stories with clear research in a way that creates a compelling read from start to finish, even if the specific topic isn't necessarily one that concerns you. Information is a welcome mix of old school medical advice and new school nutrition and stress relief. In Northup's world, whole foods and loving communication can play just as important roles as antibiotics.

In Northup's world, whole foods and loving communication can play just as important roles as antibiotics.
The book is categorized somewhat loosely by age, beginning with pregnancy and labor, and continuing through infancy, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Each section is quite specifically tuned to relating to daughters: Mothers of sons will get some use out of sections on breastfeeding but emotional concerns and physical recommendations are tailor-made for women and girls, right down to the resource guide that ends the book.
Applying the unique holistic approach that made Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause such transforming forces in the lives of millions of readers, Dr. Northrup has created an uplifting, enlightening, entirely new map of female development. Mother-Daughter Wisdom blends soulful truths with groundbreaking clinical discoveries to help women of all ages thoroughly rebuild their health. Whether coming to terms with a painful memory, letting go of harmful beliefs about themselves, or celebrating the love that is passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation, readers of this book will come to see this intimate bond in a completely new light.

ONE TINY HOPE
A Journal to My Adopted Child
by Kari Gilliam Palmer
A Journal to My Adopted Child
by Kari Gilliam Palmer
Moving memoir offers insight into emotions surrounding adoption.
From the very first page, this compelling exploration of infertility and adoptions issues captivates readers. In journal style addressed to her future adopted child, Palmer writes candidly about her experiences and feelings while traveling the often rough road from infertility to adoption.
Although there are many books available that explain the adoption process, this one explores instead the emotional issues prospective adoptive parents must face. It is not a how-to for adoption, but rather a story of how one woman deals first with infertility and its impact on her marriage, then with the pursuit of adoption, despite overwhelming odds.
In this book, you'll learn:
- About the dark side of the adoption world and how to avoid it.
- Some of the myths surrounding birth mothers.
- That carrying a baby to term does not necessarily equate to love for a child.
- How important perseverance and hope are go the adoption process.

PLEASE DON'T TELL MY PARENTS
Answers for Kids in Crises
by Dawson McAllister
...I've lost my virginity....
...My parents kept telling me how worthless I am...
...I want to die...
...I'm tired of al the hangovers...
...My father raped me...
...My parents kept telling me how worthless I am...
...I want to die...
...I'm tired of al the hangovers...
...My father raped me...
When others won't or don't listen - or you just can't tell them - this book provides a listening ear and a word of hope. It's based on real letters from real kids around the country. And it's about the kind of tough, painful questions you or someone you know are facing right now - things like: sex, drugs and alcohol, the occult, abusive parents, messed-up and broken families, loneliness, suicide.
For these and other painful situations Dawson McAllister offers loving, open-eyed answers that pull no punches, answers based on the conviction that only Christ an his love offer any real hope. That love - applied practically and powerfully - is his focus when he writes, "No matter what you do, don't give up. Don't give up on yourself. You are far too important and special. God loves you, and He has a bright future for you. You watch and see."

SURVIVING CHILDHOOD CANCER
A Guide for Families
by Margot Joan Fromer
A Guide for Families
by Margot Joan Fromer
This book is intended for children who have the disease and for their families. Not just mothers and fathers, but brothers and sisters too, for they are as severely affected - in a different way - as the patients themselves. It is also for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. The outlook for children with cancer has improved greatly in the past several decades. Still, cancer in a child is an overwhelming experience for a family. Surviving Childhood Cancer: A Guide for Families describes the illness, its treatment, and how it changes the lives of both the child with cancer and his or her family. Although there is no simple recipe for survival, there are ways to make the experience of cancer more bearable. Written with great sensitivity and understanding, this book provides practical advice about how to cope with emotions and stress; how to handle communication about the illness with the child as well as with family members, friends, classmates, employers, and others; where to obtain information and help; and how to develop honest and trusting relationships with medical caregivers. Interwoven throughout the text are many insightful and inspirational stories of those who have faced and survived cancer; through these, the reader learns how others have not only gotten through the ordeal but also emerged from it stronger and more aware of what is truly important in life.

THE MOZART EFFECT
Tapping the power of music to heal the body, strengthen the mind, and unlock the creative spirit.
by Don Campbell
Tapping the power of music to heal the body, strengthen the mind, and unlock the creative spirit.
by Don Campbell
Anyone who has ever seen a two-year-old start bouncing to a beat knows that music speaks to us on a very deep level. But it took celebrated teacher and music visionary Don Campbell to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect. Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body, the mind, and the soul. Campbell shows how modern science has begun to confirm this ancient wisdom, finding evidence that listening to certain types of music can improve the quality of life in almost every respect. Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and even mental illness. Always clear and compelling, Campbell recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow exercises to raise your spatial IQ, "sound away" pain, boost creativity, and make the spirit sing!

THE PSYCHOLOGY of CHILDBIRTH
by Aidan Macfarlane, M.D.
by Aidan Macfarlane, M.D.
The physical process of birth is no longer as mysterious as it once was. But many unanswered psychological questions still surround the birth of a child. In this remarkably appealing and personable book, pediatrician Aidan Macfarlane takes a careful look at a large number of these important psychological unknowns.
Can a woman's emotional attitude toward pregnancy cause morning sickness, influence the smoothness of labor and deliver, or shape the child's behavior after birth? Can the mother-child relationship be adversely affected by separation immediately after birth? Is the quality of the birth experience improved by home delivery? What are the psychological effects of pain-killing drugs on mother and child? What, if anything, does the unborn infant see, hear, and feel inside the womb? Is birth a psychological trauma for the child, and if so, how can it be alleviated?
Although Dr. Macfarland refuses to provide easy answers to any of these questions, his clear discussion of the available evidence is not without important consequences for the way in which we understand birth and manage it in our society.
