Herbal Emissaries: Bringing Chinese Herbs to the West: A Guide to Gardening, Herbal Wisdom, and Well-Being

Author: Steven Foster

 
This extensive and engaging book--the first collaboration between a Chinese scientist and an American author and herbalist--blends traditional wisdom from both cultures with scientific verification of the medical effectiveness of many ancient Chinese plants, thereby deepening our knowledge of and appreciation for ornamentals whose usefulness extends far beyond their beauty. 
  
More plants have been introduced from China to American and European gardens than from any other part of the world.

Many of the Asian species grown as ornamentals--such as daylilies, forsythia, gardenia, peonies, crape myrtle, and mums--are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. 

The authors supply specific techniques for cultivating Chinese herbs and flowers in Western gardens, as well as for using them medicinally.
 

Library Journal

Since 1949, China has worked to integrate traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern Western medicine, so that today both systems are used, along with a blend of the two. TCM is now researched using scientific methods at institutions such as the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, where Chongxi is a pharmacognosist. He has also authored numerous works on herbal medicine. Foster has authored several herb books (and coauthored the Peterson Field Guide to Medicinal Plants , Houghton, 1990). The authors introduce Western readers to a blend of the two systems by describing about 50 plants used in TCM that are also known to Westerners as ornamentals, weeds, or herbs (e.g., day lilies, gardenias, honeysuckle, privet, and forsythia). They cover in detail the uses, history, dosage, descriptions, cultivation, and processing of each plant. An excellent resource for alternative medicine collections.-- Katharine Galloway Garstka, Intergraph Corp., Huntsville, Ala.

Winter,1999 - Journal of ... Eastern Health & Fitness

Anyone wishing a deeper understanding of Chinese herbs, their uses and histories will appreciate this beautifully written and easily read book. Professionals will augment their knowledge and anyone opening its cover will enjoy the lively history of culture and civilization as seen through the eyes of an herbalist.

Children and Nature: Psychological, Sociocultural, and Evolutionary Investigations

Author: Peter H Kahn

For much of human evolution, the natural world was one of the most important contexts of children's maturation. Indeed, the experience of nature was, and still may be, a critical component of human physical, emotional, intellectual, and even moral development. Yet scientific knowledge of the significance of nature during the different stages of childhood is sparse. This book provides scientific investigations and thought-provoking essays on children and nature.

Children and Nature incorporates research from cognitive science, developmental psychology, ecology, education, environmental studies, evolutionary psychology, political science, primatology, psychiatry, and social psychology. The authors examine the evolutionary significance of nature during childhood; the formation of children's conceptions, values, and sympathies toward the natural world; how contact with nature affects children's physical and mental development; and the educational and political consequences of the weakened childhood experience of nature in modern society.

  Loving God When You Don't Love the Church: Opening the Door to Healing

  Author: Chris Jackson

  Many Christians who experience hurt in the church don't just leave their own churches; they leave the church altogether. Whether they have been wounded by pastors or people in the pews, these believers have had enough and are jumping ship in massive numbers.

  Pastor and churchgoer Chris Jackson is honest about his own failings as well as those of the church at large. He identifies with many of the hurts churchgoing Christians have experienced. In Loving God When You Don't Love the Church, he hopes to provide healing to wounded and disillusioned believers and restore the wonder of a genuine relationship with Jesus and his bride, the church. Jackson's humility, compassion, and practical advice for healing and restoration will touch those who have left the church and those who love them.

Toxic Consumer or Salud Total En 8 Semanas

Toxic Consumer: Living Healthy in a Hazardous World

Author: Karen Ashton

Be scared, be very scared: toxic chemicals are in thousands of everyday products…and then they become part of our blood, our fat, our bodies. The chemicals that make things non-stick, flexible, flame-retardant, or stain-resistant are implicated in a staggering range of health issues, from birth defects to the rising rates of certain cancers.

More than ever, we want to know how to make informed, responsible choices about what we buy, for our own good and for the good of our planet. The Toxic Consumer provides the answers, precisely and accessibly. And you don’t need to be a scientist to understand the information. One by one, the guide breaks down such noxious substances as PFCs, phthalates, perchloroethylene, and formaldehyde and explains what each one is and what threats it poses, what items contain these poisons, and how they interact with our bodies and well-being. Then it outlines healthier options for bedding, flooring, cosmetics, clothing, food and drink, and everything else we need, making positive recommendations that will help us to reduce our exposure to proven harmful toxic chemicals in our daily lives.

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes for Today and Tomorrow or Everyday Meal Planner for Type 2 Diabetes

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes - for Today and Tomorrow

Author: Christopher D Saudek

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes provides comprehensive and reliable answers to the many questions asked by people with the disease as well as their families and friends. What are the differences between Type I and Type II diabetes, for example? How are the different forms of this disease diagnosed and treated? Can diabetes that develops during pregnancy become a permanent condition? Can diabetes ever be managed with diet and exercise alone?

Written by a team of Johns Hopkins specialists, this authoritative and easy-to-read guide addresses everything about diabetes which patients need to know for good control and good health.

Highlights of The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes: • The importance of getting a straight answer about your diagnosis • The physical and psychological demands of diabetes • Managing the disease with blood glucose monitoring, diet, exercise, oral medications, and insulin therapy • Potential short-term and long-term complications, such as hypoglycemia, hardening of the arteries, and effects on eyes, kidneys, feet, and skin • Sexuality, pregnancy, and genetics • Recent developments for treating diabetes and the latest thinking about the importance of close control, based on the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial

American Family Physician

Presents the care of diabetes in a very positive manner, one that engages the patient to learn about his or her illness.

Nutrition in Clinical Care

Recommended for its clarity and sound scientific information.

Sherman M. Holvey

I have read just about every book on diabetes written for persons with diabetes, their families, and the general public, and not one comes close to matching this outstanding book. It covers virtually every issue of concern about diabetes and in a thorough and understandable way provides information that is not generally available to nonprofessionals.

Irwin G. Brodsky

This is a diabetes self-care and healthy living manual. The purpose is to provide diabetic patients with information they need for self-care of diabetes and healthy living with diabetes. It is designed to provide the information using the personal experiences and anecdotes of expert health professionals involved in clinical care and teaching diabetes management. Patients with diabetes and their families are the intended audience. The book provides information on the pathophysiology and treatment of diabetes mellitus. It provides information of relevance to both Type I and Type II diabetic patients. The book additionally provides information about the psychosocial aspects of diabetes and the specialized information about diabetes complications and diabetes during pregnancy. The authors have taken great care to provide diabetes information in a very personal manner. The reader is likely to feel part of an intimate interaction with a healthcare professional. The concepts in this book are described in a understandable but sophisticated manner, so some of the text may beyond the grasp of those with a low reading level. The concepts are presented in a fashion consistent with expert consensus in the field of diabetes. Physicians can feel comfortable that their patients will receive conventional but up-to-date medical opinions. There are a few items in the book related to diabetes diagnosis and treatment that need to be updated because of very recent developments in the field.

Publishers Weekly

Combining the perspectives of the authorsa physician, a mental health counselor and a nurse educatorand drawing largely on their experiences at Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center's self-management program, this comprehensive six-part guidebook aims to help diabetetics take control of their condition. Aided by tables, diagrams and lots of patient anecdotes, the authors identify major types of diabetes, how they are diagnosed and the various treatment options, including diet therapy, insulin and oral medications. Practical advice on all aspects of care ranges from procedures for monitoring one's blood glucose, eating wisely and exercising safely to handling the stress of a job interview and working with an HMO. One chapter aimed at diabetics' families gives dos and don'ts for dealing with common real-life situations. Both short- and long-term complications, e.g., of the eyes, skin, feet and kidneys, are clearly explained, and special coverage is given to the effects of diabetes on sexuality and the problems of gestational diabetes. The final chapter describes current promising research and offers pointers on keeping abreast of new developments. (July)

Library Journal

Written by a team of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine practitioners, this valuable guide presents critical information about the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of diabetes. The nature of the disease, diet and exercise, treatments, complications, sexuality, pregnancy, and research are covered, often using the stories and concerns of actual patients. The language used, while sometimes complex in concept, is clear, enlightening, and reassuring to the reader. Positive examples stress the importance of individual knowledge and flexibility in daily life. An excellent beginner's guide, more comprehensive for the motivated reader than the American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes (LJ 8/15/96), this book complements The Joslin Guide to Diabetes (LJ 7/95), providing additional information on the subjects of complications, treatments, research, and genetics. A required purchase for all health collections. [See also Laurinda Poirier and Katharine M. Coburn's Women & Diabetes, reviewed above.Ed.]Janet M. Schneider, James A.

Hospice Care for Children or The Anatomy of Dependence

Hospice Care for Children

Author:

Children with life-threatening and terminal illnesses--and their families-- require a unique kind of care to meet a wide variety of needs. This book, the first edition of which won the 1993 Pediatric Nursing Book of the Year Award, provides an authoritative source for the many people involved in caring for dying children. It draws together contributions from leading authorities in a comprehensive, fully up-to-date resource, with an emphasis on practical topics that can be put to immediate use. The book covers the entire range of issues related to the hospice environment and is intended for all those who participate in the hospice-care process: physicians, nurses, social workers, teachers, clergy, family therapists, parents, and community service volunteers.

Ram Yogev

This book covers the concept of hospice care for children. "It is intended to serve as a useful tool for the reader who is taking care of a dying child. "The audience includes general pediatricians, family practitioners, any pediatric subspecialists dealing with dying children (i.e., oncology, pediatric AIDS, cystic fibrosis), nurses, social workers, and lay persons dealing with death (parents, teachers, clergy). "The lack of an algorithm for a model of care is a deficiency. The tables are too crowded and the type is too small. The few figures are worthless. However, the overall appearance of the book is good, and the appendixes are very helpful. "This is a timely book that covers an important topic well. The increased number of HIV-infected children living longer will make this book useful to any pediatricians and subspecialists who have not previously taken care of children in need of hospice care. The detailed index makes the use of this book easier. The book should be in all medical libraries and in the offices of pediatricians or family practitioners who are taking care of children with chronic diseases who need hospice care.

The Anatomy of Dependence

Author: Takeo Doi

A classic study of the Japanese psyche, a starting point for a true understanding Japanese behavior....
The discovery that a major concept of human feeling-easily expressed in everyday Japanese- totally resisted translation into a Western language led Dr. Takeo Doi to explore and define an area of the psyche which has previously received little attention. The resulting essay, The Anatomy of Dependence, is one of the most penetrating analyses of the Japanese mind ever written, as well as an important original contribution to psychology which transcends the boundaries of cultures and nations.
Published in Japan as Amae no Kozo (The Structure of Amae), Dr. Doi's work is focused upon the word "amae" (indulgence) and its related vocabulary. Expressive of an emotion central to the Japanese experience, "amae" refers to the indulging, passive love which surrounds and supports the individual in a group, whether family, neighborhood, or the world at large. Considering the lack of such words in Western languages, Dr. Doi suggests inherent differences between the two cultures-contrasting the ideal of self-reliance with those of interdependence and the indulgence of weaknesses. Yet, he finds that Western audiences have no difficulty in recognizing and identifying with the emotions he describes, and are even searching for a way to express this need.
While there is no doubt that the concept of "amae" is more developed in Japan and the feelings it engenders more profound, Dr. Doi's work is widely recognized as having a universal application. This translation of his most important essay has now been long welcomed as a major contribution-not only as an insight into the Japanese mind,but into the minds of men everywhere.

The Cosmos in a Carrot or Crossing Divides

The Cosmos in a Carrot: A Zen Guide to Eating Well

Author: Carmen Yuen

The Cosmos in a Carrot distills the best of Buddhist wisdom, nutritional information, and health advice and puts it together in a lively guide that challenges conventional thinking. Aimed at a broad audience, the book is divided into three main parts: What Would Buddha Eat, A Mindful Diet, and A Mindful Diet in Action. Author Carmen Yuen offers authoritative discussion of nutritional science, such as calories, antioxidants, and the different types of fats, and gives practical suggestions on consumption strategies, mindful grocery lists, and recipes. In clear, informed prose she helps readers understand their relationship to food, weight, and health by using a "whole systems" approach of mindfulness techniques to break the patterns of unhealthy eating. The Cosmos in a Carrot explains how to integrate foundational Buddhist ideas, such as non-violence and no-self, and practices like the tea ceremony into the reader's everyday experiences with food. Profiles of four "mindful eaters" help personalize the process.

Publishers Weekly

Diet and nutrition books probably number in the thousands, and they all preach more or less the same message: control your portions, don't eat processed foods and drink lots of water. The nutrition message in this book, by a writer with a Buddhist studies background, is similar, but there's a twist to distinguish this guide from its eat-better kin. Looking at eating in a Buddhist light makes it possible to slow down, become aware and make better food choices. The book rests on the mindfulness teachings of Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and demonstrates the practical applications of his Buddhist teachings. Much of the material is helpful. Two appendixes summarize core mindfulness teachings, and short portraits of four "mindful eaters" show the book's approach in action. Strategies abound, although some are more realistic than others. For example, asking local farmers for advice seems geographically limited or simply romantic. The author does acknowledge that organic means more expensive. This book will work best for people who are tired of diet books and ready to be more thoughtful about food. For those who constantly struggle with eating, making a connection between eating and the noble Buddhist truth of suffering may be revelatory. (Nov.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Crossing Divides: A Couple's Story of Cancer, Hope, and Hiking Montana's Continental Divide

Author: Scott Bischk

One in four deaths in the USA is caused by cancer, making cancer the USA's second leading cause of death. According to the American Cancer Society over 1500 Americans die from cancer each day. These sobering figures highlight the fact that few in our society can avoid being touched by cancer, either directly or through a family member or friend. Whether as a patient, spouse, family member, or friend, we have all felt-or will someday feel-the pain and fear of cancer in our lives.

Fortunately, now more than ever hope exists. Almost nine million Americans today live with or have been cured of cancer.

Surviving cancer requires hope. I know because cancer has been an ever-present shadow for my wife, Kate, and me over the past ten years. We discovered Kate's cervical cancer shortly after she turned 30 in 1992. After two surgeries we thought her cancer had been cured, but then 20 months later it recurred. Over a two and a half year period Kate suffered through five surgeries, chemotherapy, and internal and external radiation treatments. Through it all Kate maintained her indomitable spirit. That spirit helped pull her back to health.

Kate also has a passion for the outdoors. Thus it was that three years after her final cancer treatment (in the summer of 1998), we decided to hike the Continental Divide Trail, 800+ miles across the state of Montana. The long-distance backpack trip, which included three months of living in a tent, was our celebration of life and an expression of our love of the outdoors.

Nearing the completion of our hike, Kate and I decided that we would like to share our twin stories with the goal of providing inspiration and hope to others fighting cancer or some other life-threatening disease. The book, Crossing Divides: A Couple's Story of Cancer, Hope, and Hiking Montana's Continental Divide, is the result of that decision.

Crossing Divides intertwines the story of our roller-coaster cancer struggle with the story of our walk across Montana. Numerous themes and parallels weave through the book. Several encounters with grizzly bears, for example, provide an avenue for metaphorical comparisons between my fear of grizzlies and my fear of Kate's cancer. Similarly, Kate's ability to persevere through the toils of a long- distance hike provides a constant parallel to her ability to persevere against cancer. Other themes include the importance of a dogged spirit in battling cancer and the importance of wild country in revitalizing that spirit. Most important is the hope presented by the fact that Kate is able to walk 800+ miles even after suffering (and recovering!) from recurrent cancer.

Crossing Divides is an emotional book; it moves from the abject fear and tears of a "terminal" cancer diagnosis to the elation of a long-distance hike through powerful yet fragile mountains. In places Crossing Divides will make the reader laugh, a happy contrast to some of the difficult cancer struggles.

Crossing Divides tackles cancer from three unique and refreshing angles. First, it provides a spouse's perspective on dealing with his soul mate's cancer. Second, it speaks to the healing power nature can provide over the debilitating force of a life-threatening disease. Finally, by intertwining the story of a present-day hike across Montana with difficulties of a past struggle with cancer, Crossing Divides continuously reinforces a message of hope.

Today, almost seven years after Kate's final cancer treatment, we feel blessed with the gift of life each moment of every day. We hope that Crossing Divides will stir others facing difficult times with the realization that light can exist after the darkness.

author of Love, Medicine, & Miracles - Bernie Siegel

Every life has its mountains to climb. Read on and find the inspiration to reach your summit.

nationally known folk singer and long-distance hiker - Jim Stoltz

Crossing Divides is about the challenges we choose and those forced pon us. Read it for a reminder that our health, like our wild lands, is fragile and endangered, and that we keep both only with determination.

Foreword

American Shaman or Invitation to Health

American Shaman: An Odyssey of Global Healing Traditions

Author: Jeffrey A Kottler

This is a book written for practicing therapists, scholars, clergy, students, and those with a general interest in non-traditional healing and helping practices. It tells the story of Bradford Keeney, the first non-African to be inducted as a shaman in both the Kung Bushman and Zulu cultures. It offers lessons on the essence of making a difference in others' lives, not through the familiar, well-worn paths of traditional psychotherapy but through the work of spiritual healers and "doctors" of the oldest cultures on this planet. It is an integration of psychological, spiritual, kinesthetic, and anthropological methods into a biography of one of the most charismatic, creative clinicians working today, not just in traditional mental health settings but in the jungles of the Amazon, the deserts of Namibia and Botswana, and the most remote islands in the South Pacific.

The authors present applications of indigenous shamanistic concepts to the practice of helping and healing. The book centers on a series of 9 chapters that examine specific principles of shamanism and apply them to the practices and desires of counselors, therapists, and educators, including a wide range of examples from Keeney's own personal experiences as well as those of other shamans he has come to know. This is a book that challenges the foundation of everything we think we know and understand about helping and healing.

Spiritual Legacy of Shaolin Temple or Christian Healing

Spiritual Legacy of Shaolin Temple: Buddhism, Daoism, and the Energetic Arts

Author: Andy James

Combining the genius of Chan (Zen) Buddhism and Daoism with rigorous physical and martial discipline and breathing exercises, the training that originated at China's famous Shaolin Temple was a unique elixir that would change the way the world perceived mind and body. Here, Andy James exposes the hitherto unrecognized spiritual legacy of Shaolin Temple, which has provided modernity with comprehensive, time-tested techniques in martial arts, health maintenance, energetic healing and spiritual transformation. In addition to Buddhism and Daoism, James explores Qigong (Chi Kung) and the "internal" systems of martial arts such as Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan). While many books have traced Chan's story into Japan, James remains in China to explain how the unique spiritual, martial and energetic traditions of the Shaolin Temple continued to interact and evolve in dynamic relation to culture, society, and the individual. This engaging and very personal book will appeal to martial arts enthusiasts, healing arts professionals, and anyone interested in the mind-body connection.

High Performance Nutrition or Warning Signs

High-Performance Nutrition: The Total Eating Plan to Maximum Your Workout

Author: Susan M Kleiner

If you exercise, you need cutting-edge information on diet and nutrition to get the best results. Whether you want to achieve peak performance, improve your energy, increase endurance, lose fat, tone muscle, increase your body's natural ability to fight disease, or slow the aging process, High-Performance Nutrition offers the key to success. Nationally known expert Susan Kleiner shows you how to eat to get more value from any type of exercise——aerobics, strength training, endurance training, cross training, or recreational sports. Her unique nutrition program features:

• A proven nutritional formula for a fast increase in muscle tone and strength
• An easy-to-follow 30-Day Menu Plan, including shopping tips and meal preparation strategies
• Delicious recipes for "One-Minute Breakfasts" and "Dynamite Dinners"
• The latest information on supplements, food additives, sugar and fat replacements, sports drinks, and vegetarian diets

Publishers Weekly

Couch potatoes won't warm up to this enthusiastic fitness and diet advice, but active, interested readers will find plenty of up-to-date information about the effect of nutrition on muscle strength, endurance and performance here. Kleiner, a nutritionist who has worked with professional sports teams, and Greenwood-Robinson, co-author of Lean Bodies and other fitness books, cite current research to back up their position that a high "good" (complex) carbohydrate, low-fat diet provides the energy to work out hard while building body muscle. Chapters on vitamin, herbal and fiber supplements are comprehensive and reasonable. Nutritional needs of vegetarian athletes, as well as pregnant and older exercisers, are also addressed. Charts illustrate such topics as best fast-food bets or the healthful phytochemicals found naturally in foods. A 30-day diet plan based on 65% carbohydrates, 15% protein and 20% fat includes 10 main-course recipes, e.g., Asparagus and Shrimp Stir-Fry with Gingered Rice. Readers at high fitness levels will find this valuable reading during exercise breaks. (May)

Aura-Soma: Self-Discovery through Color

Author: Vicky Wall

SELF HELP / HEALING

“Aura-Soma is a tool relevant to our time, brought into being through a remarkable blind woman who had clairvoyance from birth and who could see the energy of animate and inanimate things more clearly than most of us can see what is directly in front of us.”
--Mike Booth, chairman of Aura-Soma Products Ltd. and principal of the Art and Science International Academy of Colour Technologies

Aura-Soma is an innovative approach to soul therapy that relies on bottles of dual-colored liquids that incorporate plant extracts, essential oils, and the energies and extracts of precious and semiprecious stones. The energetic properties found in the liquids interact with the individual’s aura to help support equilibrium in the body, mind, and spirit.

The practice of Aura-Soma was developed by Vicky Wall, who drew upon the mystical traditions of the Kabbalah and the medicinal and healing qualities of living plants that she learned from her father. Clairvoyant from childhood, she was able to perceive the subtle energies surrounding an individual. As an adult, this clairvoyant ability was amplified as her physical sight diminished and was eventually lost. Having been an apprentice to a pharmacist in an earlier phase of her life, her understanding of the importance of combining substances resurfaced as she created the first dual-colored Equilibrium bottle. At first she did not know the significance of what she had discovered, but it soon became clear that the oils, extracts, and essences contained in these bottles had remarkable qualities to ­facilitate perception and self re-membering.

VICKY WALL(1918 -1991) was one of the first women appointed as a surgical chiropodist in England, and she taught at many teaching hospitals in London. After losing her eyesight, she developed the Aura-Soma color system and was able to help it become firmly established as a new healing modality prior to her death.

The Quantum Mind and Healing or Chick Ink

The Quantum Mind and Healing

Author: Arnold Mindell

There is a force underlying all action and circumstance in the universe and you have the ability to tap into this force, interact with it, and use it to heal yourself.

This is science talking. Specifically, this is Dr. Arnold Mindell's new model of medicine based on the mind-blowing findings of a host of quantum physicists-pioneers who are reconfiguring the landscape of our world and belief structure on an almost daily basis.

Dr. Mindell is an internationally recognized psychotherapist whose ahead-of-the-curve work led him to found a new school of therapy called Process Oriented Psychology. A graduate of MIT and the Jungian Institute of Zurich, Dr. Mindell is an in-demand speaker at conferences worldwide as well as the author of sixteen previous books.

Despite his many achievements, it is not a stretch to say that The Quantum Mind and Healing is quite probably Mindell's most important and best work yet. In it, Mindell explains that you can use the discoveries of quantum physics to access your body's own intelligence and self-healing abilities. Embracing both conventional and alternative medicine, he shows that to truly heal you need both medicine and your own natural wisdom.

The Quantum Mind and Healing goes well beyond theory, giving you simple techniques, guided exercises, and precise explanations of vital concepts that will enable you to uncover, understand, and eliminate the root causes of even your chronic symptoms and illnesses. With applications beyond physical healing, The Quantum Mind and Healing can also help you overcome long-term emotional and behavioral patterns that may be keeping you from living your greatest potential.

Its Not about Food or Healing Yourself with Foot Reflexology

It's Not about Food: Change Your Mind, Change Your Life, End Your Obsession with Food and Weight

Author: Carol Emery Normandi

"Women who read this book will be inspired to throw away their diets and scales and pick up on the nurturing, caring voice presented in these pages." --Jane R. Hirschmann and Carol H. Munter, authors of Overcoming Overeating.

Carol Emery Normandi and Laurelee Roark founded the nonprofit organization Beyond Hunger, Inc. because they had each struggled for years with eating disorders--and discovered that most of the programs available couldn't provide true, permanent recovery. To achieve that, they found they had to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds that lay at the core of their unhealthy eating behavior--to go beyond the hunger of their physical bodies and meet the hunger that resided in their very souls. The techniques used in the Beyond Hunger workshops have helped many women change their minds about food and weight--and change their lives in the process. This compassionate, supportive book shows how it can be done--and offers to help women put an end to the rollercoaster of dieting and bingeing once and for all.

* Includes a foreword by the authors of the bestseller Overcoming Overeating

* "Normandi and Roark are like patient coaches detaching women from their obsessions with food, deprogramming societal and family messages about acceptable weight, offering tools and excercises to transform destructive behaviors into opportunities for self-reflection."--San Jose Mercury News

"It's Not About Food is an important part of the growing movement to return women's bodies to their rightful owners." --Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth

Author: Jonathan D Kipp

Emergency Incident Risk Management: A Safety & Health Perspective
Jonathan D. Kipp, Murrey E. Loflin
While risk management techniques have been successfully used to reduce the potential for physical harm to the public, these proven methods, strangely enough, have not been applied to one of the most hazardous environments of allfire fighting operations. The result is that more than 100,000 injuries occur to fire fighters each year. Emergency Incident Risk Management shows fire chiefs, fire officers, safety officers, and risk managersfor the first time anywherehow to develop and implement a comprehensive risk management program that can sharply reduce on-the-job fatalities, injuries, and harmful exposures while minimizing property and equipment damage. Expanding on the information presented in the National Fire Protection Association 1500 Handbook, this thorough guide covers every phase of effective risk managementfrom assigning roles and preplanning, through all the steps in a solid risk management plan, to handling actual emergency incidents. With the help of illuminating examples, Emergency Incident Risk Management demonstrates how to:

• analyze accident, injury, and illness data
• identify and evaluate risk
• establish risk management priorities
• formulate and implement sound risk control measures
• monitor and fine-tune the risk management program
• incorporate risk management into an incident management system
• use and maintain proper personal protective equipment

Further, the book addresses federal standards that safety administrators must observe, providing crucial compliance information on OSHAs regulations covering bloodborne pathogens, confinedspaces, respiratory protection, and hazardous waste operations and emergency responsein addition to the NFPA standards. The book, in fact, is so complete it even covers how to utilize cost/benefit analysis to ensure effective risk management decision making. Written by a longtime certified safety professional and an experienced fire officer, Emergency Incident Risk Management should be regularly consulted by every professional who administers or operates corporate, municipal, military, or private emergency response programs.

AIDS Care at Home: A Guide for Caregivers, Loved Ones, and People with AIDS

Author: Beth Ann Golden

An indispensable guide to every aspect of at-home care This thoroughly practical guide details the daily routines and unique concerns that are essential to quality at-home care of people with AIDS. From setting up a safe and comfortable environment to making medical and legal choices and solving emotional problems, each vital issue is covered in depth. Every caregiver and person with AIDS will benefit from this supportive, comprehensive resource.

• Detailed information on protecting against infection
• Concise instructions for both ambulatory and bedridden patients
• How to administer intravenous feedings and medication
• Appendices covering lab tests, alternative therapies, and the latest experimental drugs
• The differences between caring for men and women with AIDS
• Tips for caregivers on maintaining their own health and well-being

This information-packed reference is invaluable for caregivers and people with AIDS who must care for themselves.

Publishers Weekly

AIDS has infected more than 700,000 people worldwide. And another 13 million are believed to be infected with the virus. Greif and Golden, both nurse practitioners and HIV/AIDS counselors, have written a clear and concise guide for adults with AIDS and their caregivers. The information given here is as practical as a nurse's starched white uniform. The book opens with a brief overview of the disease, complete with the history of its spread and the ways in which HIV assaults immune systems and societies. Routine lab tests, treatments and alternative therapies are also explained. The body of the work, however, is much more specific, offering pragmatic techniques for living with AIDS day-to-day; protection against opportunistic infections is stressed, and the book is organized around specific subjects (such as dental care and how to change a dressing) and symptoms. ``Mundane'' matters like how to prepare high-calorie foods, do laundry, take care of pets, deal with sexuality and give an injection are just a few of the other topics covered. Each section of the book begins with an account told by a PWA or a caregiver describing his or her experiences. The psychological and social issues of AIDS are also examined. This book is an invaluable tool to anyone undertaking the monumental task of wrestling with the terrible challenges of living with AIDS. (June)

Library Journal

As the number of AIDS cases increases, more people face the task of caring for a friend or family member with this disease. This book by two nurse practitioners specializing in AIDS care provides practical information for setting up a comfortable, safe home-care environment. They discuss protecting both the patient and caregiver from infection; caring for ambulatory and bedridden patients; giving medications, including intravenous feedings; and maintaining the mental and physical health of the caregiver. They explain proper methods of moving patients and discuss the ethical and legal aspects of living wills, power of attorney, and assisted suicide. A glossary and appendixes provide information on terminology, referral resources, and adjunct therapies. This is an extremely useful book for those caring for people with AIDS or other terminal illnesses. Highly recommended for consumer health and health science collections.-Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., Cal.

Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy: America's Most Renowned African American Nutritionist Shows You How to Look Great, Feel Better, and Live Longer by Eating Right

Author: Rovenia M Brock PhD

In this one-of-a-kind book, Dr. Rovenia M. Brock—known as Dr. Ro™ to fans of Black Entertainment Television’s Heart & Soul—reveals practical, satisfying ways for African American women to eat healthy, get fit, and overcome weight problems and the health risks that accompany them.

From the “Big Ten” myths about miracle weight-loss diets to how eating the right foods can help you live longer and why soul food (if prepared properly) really can be good for you, Dr. Ro shows how many serious illnesses can be largely prevented—and even reversed. And you don’t need Oprah’s salary to do it. Using her own inspiring story and those of many other women as well, Dr. Ro discusses the health, fitness, and even cultural issues that are unique to black women, and outlines a diet and nutrition program to fit every lifestyle.

Fibroids: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed

Author: Johanna Skilling

Though an estimated eight in ten women in America will be diagnosed with fibroids during their lifetime, it remains one of the most ambiguous conditions a woman can have. In the tradition of the other titles in the First Year series, The First Year—Fibroids uses a unique approach, guiding readers through practical and straightforward steps for the first seven days following diagnosis, then the next three weeks of their first month, and finally the next eleven months of their first year. Throughout, author Johanna Skilling provides answers and advice that will help women newly diagnosed with fibroids come to terms with their condition and the lifestyle changes that accompany it. Skilling provides vital information about the different types of fibroids, treatment options, dietary choices, holistic alternatives, and much more. The First Year—Fibroids will be a wise and educational resource for every woman who wants to take an active role in the management of her fibroids.

Library Journal

Also called myomas, fibromyomas, or leiomyomas, fibroids develop from a single smooth muscle cell in the uterus and vary in size and shape. They affect as many as 80 percent of women, of whom one in four will have symptoms serious enough to cause her to seek medical advice and treatment. These two practical, easy-to-read guides offer information on the different types of fibroids and the options for treating them. In Healing Fibroids, Warshowsky, a practicing obstetrician/ gynecologist and director of the Women's Program at Beth Israel Hospital's Center for Health and Healing in New York, and Oumano, a certified yoga teacher and bodywork practitioner, combine Western medicine and holistic methods to point the way to optimal health and the avoidance of surgery. After a brief look at surgical procedures and the relationship of hormones and the menstrual cycle to fibroids, they devote chapters to diet, supplements, herbal remedies, exercise, emotional healing, and the effects of environmental toxins, especially xenoestrogens. Skilling, a marketing executive and writer in New York, wrote her first book, Fibroids: The Complete Guide to Taking Charge of Your Physical, Emotional and Sexual Well-Being, when she was first diagnosed with fibroids and could find little information on the subject. She also explores the role of diet, exercise, and emotional well-being in managing fibroids. Arranged by day for the first week after diagnosis, by week for the first month, and by month for the remaining 11 months, the chapters are each divided into two sections, called "Living" and "Learning." The "Living" sections deal with issues and problems, while the "Learning" sections explain the more technical aspects of fibroids. Skilling provides practical tips, such as how to chart the growth of the fibroid and what to wear when you leave the hospital should you need surgery. Readers will find information on current research and medication, the pros and cons of various types of surgery, and hints on diet and lifestyle changes, including exercise and stress management. While both guides are useful, Skilling's arrangement is superior. Her table of contents provides good access points, and the glossary, selected resources, and list of bibliographic references are a definite plus. If you have the budget, get both; but if you have to choose, buy Skilling's. Jodith Janes, Cleveland Clinic Fdn. Lib. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
