Men's Cancers: How to Prevent Them, How to Treat Them, How to Beat Them

Author: Pamela J Haylock

This book provides all the information men need to make informed decisions about their healthcare. It covers the prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence of all the most common men's cancers. It also explores sexual changes related to cancer and other crucial issues.

Library Journal

The distinguishing quality of this lay reader's guide to men's cancers is that it is written by nurses who recognize the need for medical expertise with an emphasis on patient education in a clear, plainly written text. Under the direction of editor Haylock (Women's Cancers), the contributors explain prevention and treatment options for common male cancers: lung, prostate, and colon. The causes and nature of cancer as well as risk analysis, genetic testing and counseling, and treatment options are explained in order to provide a good understanding of what lies ahead for a cancer diagnosis and therapy. The nurse perspective of this book provides the advice, comfort, and detail that addresses the concerns of men facing a cancer journey. While Charles N. Inlander's The People's Medical Society Men's Health and Wellness Encyclopedia (LJ 5/1/98) and Men's Fitness Magazine's Complete Guide to Health and Well-Being (LJ 5/1/96) treat men's health issues generally, and prostate cancer is singled out in such excellent books as Allen E. Salowe's Prostate Cancer (LJ 1/98) and Robert Buckman's What You Really Need To Know About Cancer (LJ 9/15/97), this volume is unique in restricting itself to cancers in the male. Recommended as a complete guide to survivorship strategies.--James Swanton, Harlem Hosp. Lib., New York Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

Tending Adams Garden or Walking for Fun and Fitness

Tending Adam's Garden: Evolving the Cognitive Immune Self

Author: Irun R Cohen

Tending Adam's Garden describes and explains the way in which our immune system works from a novel perspective. The book uses metaphors and examples to bring the immune system to life, and explores the fundamental miracle of nature. Written in plain language for a broad audience, this book encompasses much more than just immunology, exploring more fundamental matters such as causality, information, energy, evolution, cognition and individuality, as well as the strategy of the immune system and its role in health and disease.

Key Features:

• Provides a unique perspective on the immune system from one of the keenest scientific and philosophical brains in the world
• Uses metaphors and case histories to explore themes in an accessible manner
• Written in plain language requiring no specialized vocabulary or specific scientific background in the subject

New England Journal of Medicine

Beyond the philosophy and polemics, Cohen offers a creative and provocative reading of contemporary immunology, one that may well guide the discipline as it seeks solutions to its paradoxes, and he creates models for restoring its increasingly complex components into a coherent whole.

Yair Neuman

Cohen's Book is an excellent and genuine scientific work...The book is written in clear and non-technical language,and different audiences may find it relevant for their own fields of interest.

From the Heart: A Woman's Guide to Living Well with Heart Disease

Author: Kathy Kastan

After undergoing emergency bypass surgery at age forty-two, Kathy Kastan found her world shifting in unexpected ways. Everything-her sense of well being, her relationships, her daily routine, even her body image-seemed to change. Doctors could help her recover physically, but she had to find new ways to recover emotionally and re-create a happy, healthy life. The first book written for women dealing with the emotional repercussions of heart disease, From the Heart will guide women forward with optimism and courage, addressing such questions as: How do you regain a strong self-image? Grapple with your fears? Talk to the people you love about your illness? And learn to trust your body again? Combining Kastan’s personal experience and expertise as a therapist with stories from scores of other women with heart disease, this invaluable resource will help women reduce stress, give up hard-to- break habits, adapt to new lifestyles-and thrive again.

Miami Herald

Offers tips on facing denial, helping children cope and reducing stress. The author, a clinical social worker, feeds off her experiences with emergency bypass surgery to guide other women forward with optimism and courage.

Townsend Letter

Kathy Kastan's book will undoubtedly be helpful . . . [The] stories are effective in illustrating the need for patient advocacy . . . Many women can benefit from this informative book.

Consumer Connections

An empowered guide on how women can gradually regain their strength and thrive with heart disease. The advice provided is insightful and laid out in concise and realistic terms for the reader . . . The testimonials by other women with heart disease are an additional bonus to the book . . . Recommended.

Barbara M. Bibel - Library Journal

Kastan was a seemingly healthy 42-year-old woman when she suddenly required emergency bypass surgery that left her with debilitating chronic chest pain. Luckily, WomenHeart: The National Coalition of Women with Heart Disease was there to refer her to a women's heart center, which helped her get proper medication, rehabilitation, and support. Now the president of that organization, Kastan felt that doctors healed her body well but provided no tools for dealing with the emotional aspects of her heart disease. To fill that gap, the author discusses what happens once a woman is home from the hospital. Setting realistic expectations, communicating with family and friends, and dealing with depression, changed body image, and sexuality are important. Navigating the healthcare system, adjusting work conditions, and strengthening relationships with family and friends are vital. Including quotes from 100 female patients, family members, and health professionals describing the recovery process, this first book to deal specifically with the emotional aspects of heart disease in women is highly recommended for public and consumer health libraries.

Winning the Food Fight or Yoga and the Hindu Tradition

Winning the Food Fight: A Thoughtful Parent's Guide to Introducing Variety into Your Child's Diet

Author: Natalie Rigal

PARENTING / NUTRITION

“Well researched and thoughtfully presented, Natalie Rigal has given us wonderful ideas for the all-important task of nourishing our children. She shows us how to naturally and gracefully work with young ones so eating becomes both an exploration and a pleasure. Bravo!”
--Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet

“Food is not just our fuel, it’s also the raw material of our bodies and our brains--and particularly that of our children. Natalie Rigal’s book provides a great insight into how to help children discover and learn to love foods that are actually good for them!”
--Thom Hartmann, author of The Edison Gene and Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception

One of the most common problems faced by parents is how to inspire their children to taste a new food--to try just one bite! Natalie Rigal, a child psychologist who has extensively researched questions of taste, explains the often complex attitudes children bring with them to the dinner table and offers parents creative ways to get children to approach eating with the same curiosity and enthusiasm they display toward other activities. Using experiences with her own two children, as well as the latest research in the field, she shows that children’s tastes often manifest at a very young age and are connected to an intricate combination of family habits and social influences. She reveals why most children prefer sweet foods to salty ones, familiar foods to new ones, and why children often prefer the meals they share with their grandparents and friends over those with their parents and siblings--andwhat parents can do about this.

Rigal explains that the aversion children express to most foods can be overcome by learning how to speak with them about what they are going to be eating--not just its flavor, but its consistency, appearance, and the sound it makes when eaten. She shows that encouraging a child’s natural instinct to experiment can provide the inspiration needed to try even those vegetables that are most universally loathed by children. Finding pleasure in eating has been shown to be the secret to why "French women don’t get fat.” It is also the secret gateway to getting your children to eat the nutritious foods they need.

NATALIE RIGAL is senior lecturer at the University of Paris at Nanterre, where she teaches developmental child psychology. She is one of the foremost researchers in the psychology of taste. She lives in Paris.

Yoga and the Hindu Tradition

Author: Jean Varenn

A popular and critical success when it first appeared in France, Yoga and the Hindu Tradition has freed Yoga from the common misconceptions of the recent Yoga vogue. Jean Varenne, the distinguished French Orientalist, presents the theory of classical Yoga, in all its richness, as a method—a concrete way to reach the Absolute through spiritual exercises—which makes possible the transition from existence to essence.
This excellent translation, including line drawings and charts, a glossary of technical terms, and a complete translation of the Yoga Darshana Upanishad, begins with a brief description of the metaphysical and religious history on which Yoga is based. Varenne discusses the theoretical conception of Yoga as the search for liberating knowledge, concluding with a brief indication of the physical practices and extra Yogic themes such as Kundalini and Tantrism. It is the author's hope that "those who read [this book] will come to realize that it is in fact dishonest to reduce Yoga to some sort of physical training, or to just an occult doctrine; it is a 'world view' a Weltanschauung that comprehends reality in its totality."
"The straightforward, well-organized presentation makes the book itself a microcosm of what Varenne singles out as a dominant feature of classical Hindu thought—a bringing of the complex and multitudinous into a unity."—Judith Guttman, Yoga Journal

Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer: A Practical Manual for Understanding, Prevention and Care

Author: Sat Dharam Kaur

Despite the risk of developing breast cancer, many women still have a limited knowledge of its causes and prevention. The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer uses the most recent research studies and clinical evidence to explain the causes of breast cancer and techniques for its prevention.

Some of the topics covered are:

• Comprehensive explanations for the causes of breast cancer -- hereditary, hormonal, environmental


• Identifiable environmental risks


• Self help detoxification programs, diet plans and herbal recommendations


• Natural medicine strategies which complement conventional medical treatments and promote recovery


• Psychological support

Protective factors are highlighted and valuable exercises and worksheets for breast care are included, such as The Breast Health Balance Sheet, an extensive questionnaire that helps to determine risk factors.

Written in an empathetic and accessible style, The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer is an excellent resource for women seeking breast cancer information.

Doody Review Services

Reviewer: Robert E Burke, MSN, MPS, BSN (Pace University)
Description: This book provides women of all ages with the necessary tools to understand the basics of breast health and disease in order to promote healthy living.
Purpose: The book was written in the belief that the better we understand the origins of breast cancer, the better our ability to prevent it. Although the emphasis of this book is on breast health, the underlying content challenges the women and healthcare professionals who read it to become more aware of their bodies and how they live their lives in order to promote healthy living. The author's objectives are realistic and important. This book balances the viewpoints of Western biomedicine with naturopathic medicine's perspectives to provide a unique approach to approaching breast cancer, its prevention, and treatment.
Audience: The author states that this book is written for women. In the preface, Dr. Carolyn Dean goes further and states that the book is meant to be an indispensable resource and companion for all women, in poor or good health. This book may also be helpful to healthcare professionals who are interested in understanding the naturopathic approach to breast health promotion and disease prevention. The author is a naturopathic doctor who specializes in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. She maintains a private practice in Ontario and lectures on breast health and stress management at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. She has taught the Healthy Breast Program since 1996 and Kundalini yoga since 1979.
Features: The first few chapter focus on the risks of developing breast cancer, a basic overview of breast anatomy and physiology and the role of hormones and the environment on the body. This is followed by strategies that promote healthy living through diet, nutrition, and supplementation, and maintaining psychological health. Information is provided on Western biomedical and complementary therapeutic approaches to dealing with breast cancer alone and/or in combination with one another. The book also provides numerous exercises, charts, checklists, and worksheets to aid readers while they progress through the chapters. In addition, a list of resources and suggestions for further reading provides the reader with avenues to keep learning. As the guide for health promotion and disease prevention it is meant to be, I found very few shortcomings. Throughout the book, there are many interesting facts and preventative notes listed in the margins. This is unique and allows readers to gain pearls of information as they skim through the book.
Assessment: This book does an excellent job reviewing the basics of breast health and disease. The strategies for promoting healthy living, including the exercises, charts, checklists, and worksheets make this an interactive book that empowers readers to become more proactive in promoting healthy living in their lives.

DX/RX: Palliative Cancer Care

Author: Vivek Tim Malhotra

Tightly organized into a super-condensed outline-bulleted format, this handy, pocket-sized manual details precise, up-to-date information for assessing and managing pain, fatigue, nausea, GI problems, depression, and other common symptoms in the cancer patient. Throughout the book, tables and figures summarize important clinical data and current professional society recommendations, while salient references direct readers to additional information. Current, quick, and concise, for instant access on the ward or in the clinic!

Doody Review Services

Reviewer: Toby C Campbell, MD(Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: The authors have written a pocket-sized book for basic, rapid reference for symptom management in cancer patients.
Purpose: This book is part of series which focuses on the practical management of common malignancies. The authors target an audience of practicing oncologists or "anyone involved with the care of cancer patients." Many oncologists certainly could benefit from improved symptom management, communication, and other aspects of palliative care.
Audience: "[This] series of handbooks focusing on the practical management of common malignancies...is recommended...to anyone involved with the care of cancer patients," according to the editors in the preface. This book is introductory in content, informal in voice, superficial in depth, and appropriate for students, housestaff, or practitioners. The authors are part of the pain and palliative care service at Memorial Sloan Kettering, a respected oncologic institution.
Features: This is a concise reference on a variety of issues facing cancer patients as they near the end of life. The authors address a variety of common symptoms, including pain, neuropathic pain, nausea, constipation, bowel obstruction, dyspnea, depression, and fatigue. The authors also deal with communication barriers, physician stress, medication management, opioid conversions, and pain procedures. The index is accurate and easy to search. The book is introductory in scope and curious readers or experienced providers may find it too basic.
Assessment: The book will have a limited audience,but it is useful as an introduction to some of the issues in palliative medicine. The structure and organization of the chapters is disjointed, but the index is readily searchable. The book uses quotations from pop culture (often with unclear relation to the text) and thus may appeal to students, but may offend older readers. I am unaware of other pocket-sized books oriented towards palliative care explicitly for cancer patients and, as such, the book is unique. There are several other portable palliative care reference books which contain more in-depth information.

Maps to Ecstacy: A Healing Journey for the Untamed Spirit

Author: Gabrielle Roth

In this revised edition of Maps to Ecstacy, Gabrielle Roth expands on the themes that have guided her: ways of transforming daily life into sacred art. Her work in teaching movement has been described as a marriage of art and healing.

Each chapter initiates readers into one of the five sacred powers necessary for survival and reveals the five life cycles that lead to enlightenment. The creative process brings readers in touch with these five sacred powers by freeing the body to experience the power of being, expressing the heart to experience the power of loving, emptying the mind to experience the power of self-knowledge, awakening the soul to experience the power of seeing, and embodying the spirit to experience the power of healing.

Roth shows readers how to awaken latent shamanic powers; reconnect to primal knowledge through exercises, dance, song, poetry, meditation, theatre, and ritual; and incorporate these principles into contemporary life.

What People Are Saying

Lynn Andrews
A wonderful and inspiring book that can lead people to a new level of understanding and give them the courage to follow their dreams.

Im Like So Fat or Cults

I'm, Like, So Fat!: Helping Your Teen Make Healthy Choices about Eating and Exercise in a Weight-Obsessed World

Author: Dianne Neumark Sztainer

Hit the gym for a workout--but sit for hours at your computer. Supersize your value meals--but downsize your waistline. Today's media-saturated teenagers are bombarded with mixed messages that distort their self-image and lead many to overeat and others to starve themselves. When "I feel fat" becomes a teen's common refrain, how can worried parents respond constructively? With "I'm, Like, SO Fat!" Dr. Dianne Neumark-Sztainer shows parents how to strike the difficult balance between bolstering self-esteem and offering constructive advice. Drawing on her landmark study, Project EAT (Eating Among Teens), and her experience as a mother of four, Neumark-Sztainer offers a wealth of science-based, practical ideas for instilling healthy eating and exercise habits, educating teens about nutrition and portion size, and talking about body image. Here is a rock-solid foundation that parents everywhere can build on to help their teens stay fit, eat well, and feel good about their looks in a world where too-perfect bodies are used to sell everything from cosmetic surgery to fast food.

Library Journal

Health It is indeed a weight-obsessed world when even Cookie Monster comes under fire for his eating habits. In this thorough and sensible book, Neumark-Sztainer (epidemiology, Univ. of Minnesota) shows parents how to help their teens make wise food choices-now and in the future. With the blunt advice that one should never "go on a diet," the author stresses lifestyle changes, not quick fixes. Parents can be positive role models by providing healthy breakfasts and dinners, reducing kids' time watching TV images of thin people, and helping kids make wise choices of food on the go. Teens need to know (and they don't) what a portion is, what a calorie is, and why these are important. The approach here is practical and not authoritarian; the author knows it's difficult to ask teens to give up fries and large sodas; she knows families eat out, but it doesn't need to be a high-fat, high-calorie experience. There's nothing here about the new food pyramid, and low-carb diets that label whole food groups as bad are not seen as helpful. James Lock and Daniel La Grange's Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder focuses more on disorders; this book stresses health. Excellent for public libraries.-Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, PA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Dietas y Recetas de Maria Antonieta or Sage

Dietas y Recetas de Maria Antonieta

Author: Maria Antonieta Collins

En este libro, la autora intenta ayudar a todos los que padecen el calvario de la gordura desde la perspectiva de su propia experiencia. En primer lugar, se refiere a los componentes adictivos en el acto de comer. Comenta los síntomas y conductas más comunes en las personas involucradas en este problema, las actitudes personales de autocomplacencia y autoengaño, las principales causas de los repetidos fracasos al seguir una dieta y el eterno deambular por consultorios de profesionales -y no tan profesionales- que se dedican a resolver este problema.

María Antonieta afirma que no son las dietas las que fracasan sino nosotros. Lo crucial para tener éxito en la odisea para bajar de peso radica en la decisión personal y en la cabal comprensión de lo que ha llevado a cada persona hasta tal punto de sobrepeso. Resalta que lo importante no es bajar de peso sino el posterior mantenimiento en un peso adecuado, y para ello ofrece consejos prácticos de suma utilidad además de una gran variedad de recetas para comer bien y bajar, de peso.

Publishers Weekly

Often putting her personal health at risk, celebrity Univision journalist Collins has tried everything in her long and constant struggle to lose weight and maintain it, from the latest and most popular diets and medications to special and costly treatments like acupuncture and body wraps. Having maintained her weight for over a year now, she tells her personal story and shares her hard-earned tips for winning the weight-loss battle. This is a frank, humorous, and informative book on a topic of great interest to most Hispanic/ Latina women. Collins draws examples from her personal experience to point out the dangers, myths, and general misinformation that prevail about weight loss. Along the way, she also gives readers a glimpse into the world of Univision, sharing stories about the personal weight management programs of other well-known personalities such as Jorge Ramos, Maria Elena Salinas, and Don Francisco. Even though she uses several sayings and colloquialisms from her native Mexico, she often provides explanatory comments for the non-Mexican reader. The easy and nutritious sample diets and recipes use measurements in kilos and liters, but many recent Hispanic immigrants will be familiar with these measuring systems. Highly recommended for all public libraries and bookstores. Yolanda Cuesta, Sacramento, CA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Jewish Paths toward Healing and Wholeness or Understanding Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

Jewish Paths toward Healing and Wholeness: A Personal Guide to Dealing with Suffering

Author: Kerry M Olitzky

"Why me?"

Why do I suffer?

How can I heal?

"Spiritual suffering must be differentiated from physical pain, although the two are intertwined in such a way that it is nearly impossible to distinguish one from the other. We suffer spiritually when we do not grow from our illness, when we do not learn from the experience of physical and emotional pain."
-from the Introduction

Too many of us faced with bodily illness, whether our own pain or that of a loved one, feel lost. What do I do? How do I handle it? This inspiring guide helps us find the ways to deal with and heal from our suffering.

By sharing with us prayers, psalms, meditations and rituals-as well as insights gained from his own experience-Rabbi Kerry Olitzky helps us understand how, when we are confronted with suffering, we can take steps to heal the soul, a vital counterpart to healing the body.

This book helps us initiate a new kind of healing dialogue with God, and shows us the way to restoring our faith and enriching our spirit.

Practical Taoism or The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood

Practical Taoism

Author: Thomas F Cleary

This extraordinary collection of teachings and commentaries illuminates the many profound mysteries of inner alchemy, one of the most important dimensions of the Taoist tradition. The science of inner alchemy consists of meditation practices that enable the individual to have a more intimate, energizing, and inspiring relationship with life. Although these techniques are described in the sourcebooks of ancient Taoism, they are often couched in cryptic symbolic language, making it difficult for today's seekers t put these teachings into practice. Some classical Taoist writers, however, did adopt a more explicit manner of expression. Practical Taoism is a collection of writings from these more accessible commentators on the traditional alchemical texts, compiled by a seventh-generation master of the Northern Branch of the Complete Reality School of Taoism known as the Preserver of Truth.

The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood

Author: Robert Drewett

The Nutritional Psychology of Childhood is a systematic account of research on the psychological aspects of nutrition in children from birth to adolescence. It deals with two major themes: the development of eating and the effects of malnutrition on the developing child. Robert Drewett discusses the developmental problems that arise with eating and food intake, including nursing and weaning in infancy, the handling of solids and the development of food choice and eating habits. Nutritional problems are considered in children born preterm or small for gestational age, or whose growth is poor, in children who are iron deficient or more generally malnourished, and in children with physical illnesses or disabilities, including phenylketonuria and cerebral palsy. The development of eating disorders and obesity are also considered. Drawing on research from both developing and industrialized countries, this book will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals in psychology, nutrition and child health.

Tinnitus: Questions and Answers

Author: Jack A Vernon

Tinnitus patients have questions that most often their doctors and audiologists can't answer. The disorder is not taught in medical schools and a single front runner of a treatment has not emerged. Tinnitus patients typically do not know where to go for help. Thousands resort to chatting on the Internet about their condition. Thousands of others have written to the American Tinnitus Association and to Dr. Jack Vernon for help, compassion, wisdom, and answers. This book is a reflection of Dr. Vernon's 30-year dedication to this problem. His optimism for the condition and willingness to try out new ideas has pushed the mysterious disorder of tinnitus into a national and NIH-funded spotlight. Tinnitus: Questions and Answers focuses on the most frequently asked questions about tinnitus. The questions in this book are from patients. The answers are written for patients and for interested health care providers too. The book covers causes, treatments, and other topics with a format similar to the Q&A column in Tinnitus Today, ATA's quarterly journal.

Neale Donald Walsch on Holistic Living or The Body Sculpting Bible Swimsuit Workout

Neale Donald Walsch on Holistic Living: Applications for Living

Author: Neale Donald Walsch

I have learned about life that when we live wholly, we live holy. I have been searching for ways to live my life as a whole person, as an integrated being, for twenty-five years. The first thing I came to understand was that, if I am to live an integrated life, I must become far more integrated with my environment. That is, I must become one with it, and treat it as if it were a part of me, not something from which I was separate, and which was separate from me.

Holistic living means being aware that I am part of a whole system, a whole idea, a whole reality, and that everything I think, say, and do affects that reality-indeed, at some level, creates it.

Are we able to coexist with nature, the universe, and our fellow human beings? Can we live lives that are joyous, harmonious, and largely pain-free? Do we have the ability to tell the truth and change what doesn't work?

Neale Donald Walsch thinks so. Living well--physically, mentally, and spiritually-is within our grasp, should we choose to do so. Here are some practical and inspirational ideas for achieving those goals.
