From the dj, 'President of a prominent advertising agency in Los Angeles, Jean Craig was a successful woman who had everything, including her very own happy ending. She had been widowed but was surrounded by four loving children. And she had found Ed McNeilly, a passionate and strong personality who roared into Jean's life when she was in her early forties, married her, won over her children and took her to a new life beside the sea in Malibu. But 3 years fter the happy ending, Ed was diagnosed with cancer. His fight became their fight, and it was no ordinary battle. From the day of the diagnosis, when they bought the sports car he had always wanted, Ed and Jean refused to be victims of caner and to the medical community that seemed incapacitated by it. But this book is not about sickness. Based on Jean's journals, it is about life in Los Angeles, about working in the high-pressure business of advertising, about September days on the beaches of Malbu, about keeping a sense of normalcy with friends and colleagues - and with oneself.'l . more information

But for Holly, it's where she feels most alive: the place where she gets the opportunity to make a crucial difference in women's lives. Powerful, compelling, laced with humor and controversy, Delivery takes you inside the maternity wards of today, where you can experience the joy, wonder, and human drama of childbirth as seen through the eyes - and life -of nurse-midwife Holly Treadwell. . more information

From the dj: Cristina Ferrare shocked the country - and herself! - when she revealed something very personal on her live talk show, Home And Family: that over the last few years, she had experienced a lack of sexual desire. Her revelation prompted appearances on Oprah and Dateline NBC, and she began to receive letters, calls, and E-mail from hundreds of women who told of their own experiences and were desperate for more information. They, too, were going through a loss of libido and were glad to know they were not alone. When Ferrare went to her doctor, she found that a lack of testosterone in her body was a key reason for her lack of interest in sex, and the doctor prescribed a testosterone cream that put her back in the mood - and thrilled her husband. But spurred by her approaching menopause, she wanted to find out for herself how hormone levels affect everything in our bodies - and how everything we do and eat affects our hormone levels. Ferrare came to the conclusion that a natural approach to balancing her hormones made sense for her. Now Ferrare offers aa frank, funny, informative, and inspiring personal account of what she went through - and what she learned along the way. Based on information from her own doctors and other medical experts and authoritative sources, Okay, So I Don't Have A Headache helps women understand their own bodies and begin to find answers for themselves. . more information

'This is an excellent review of the state of research in 1994 on the neuroscientific aspects of the primary degenerative dementias. It is a multiauthored book, containing chapters written and edited by internationally recognized experts in the field and is a valuable contribution to geriatric neuropsychiatry. The purpose, according to the editor, is to help clinicians in the understanding, diagnosis, and management of patients with dementia. The book is a report of a conference on primary dementia that was held in December, 1994. It is intended for practitioners, including primary care physicians, geriatricians, psychiatrists, and neurologists. It would also be useful for trainees in geriatric psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and behavioral neurology. The chapters cover the major dementias in detail and specifically address such topics as epidemiology, familial Alzheimer's disease, beta-amyloid, prion disease, post-stroke depression, vascular dementia, dementia pugilistica, head trauma, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, pharmacotherapy, and dementia management. Useful chapters on ethical issues and health care reform are included. The index section was quite helpful. This superb book is clinically useful, well referenced, and a welcome addition to the field. Any physician or health care worker who interacts with patients that have these disorders would benefit greatly from reading this textbook. I highly recommend it.' (Michael J.

From Booklist: Written to mark the Harvard School of Public Health's seventy-fifth anniversary, Henig's "memoir" perforce looks at some national and international events, for among the school's contributions have been Philip Drinker's work on the iron lung for the treatment of polio and Lisa Berkman's Social Network Indicator, which is used in studying the effects of social isolation. Such accomplishments reflect the worldwide struggle against infectious diseases and their transmission in which the school has played a major role. Among the most interesting current studies at the school are theoretical and investigative efforts to discover causes and possible treatments for what is styled the growing epidemic of violence. Throughout the clear and informative text, Henig underlines, directly and indirectly, the differences between public health and medicine, quoting, for instance, the American Public Health Association director who stated that "medicine can cure you, but public health will keep you well." A portrayal of public health as the exciting, scientifically oriented, and effective field that it is. . more information
