The AARP Guide to Pills or Cuerpo Mente y Espiritu

The AARP Guide to Pills: Essential Information on More Than 1,200 Prescription & Nonprescription Medications, Including Generics

Author: AARP

Mid-life and older Americans look first to AARP as a trusted source of the vital information that will improve their lives. Month to month and year to year, the association's 36 million members read and rely upon its magazines, its newspapers, its book-publishing division, and its website (aarp.org). When AARP says something, they know you can take that information to the bank. That's why book buyers will turn to this lavish manual for answers to their questions about life-saving-and life-enhancing-medications. The AARP Guide to Pills has been assembled with the same degree of care and concern for accuracy and ease of use that distinguishes every product that bears the AARP brand. That rigorous quality control will likewise distinguish the pill guide from the competition.
It's the most outstanding and up-to-date guide to pills and medications ever published. The only one of its kind in full color, The AARP Guide to Pills addresses the needs and concerns of 50+ adults in incredible depth. To simplify the process of finding information about a certain drug, generic drugs are presented in a logical A-to-Z organization, with a comprehensive index that includes cross-references to related brand-name drugs. All information has been vetted by a board of content specialists, including an expert from the University of Southern California's School of Gerontology, considered the finest in the United States.
Each entry also features a detailed, color-correct image of the pill or capsule for identification purposes, along with details on its generic name, brand name, and manufacturer; a listing of what a health-care provider should know about the condition of anyonetaking the medication; advice on what to do if you miss a dose; warnings on interactions with other drugs; and notes on potential side effects to look out for.
In their foreword and introduction, Harvard-trained doctors Jerry Avorn and Bill Thomas provide clear and comprehensive guidance on the wise use of prescription medications; how to effectively manage your drug costs; how to prepare for and derive maximum benefit from each doctor's visit; how to talk to your physician and pharmacist; how to avoid "polypharmacy," or overmedication; and why the appearance of generic pills can change from one prescription refill to the next.
This is a must-have book for anyone 50+ and younger.

Why THIS pill book?
*Each entry includes a color-correct image of the medication-unlike most books that include the images in a separate section
*Over 1,200 color images of pills-more than any other book on the market-make identifying medications easy and minimize the risk of error...whether brand name or generic
*A bulleted list tells you what your health-care professional needs to know before you start taking a specific drug
*Important details about how and when to take a drug for maximum effectiveness
*A separate section explains exactly what to do if you miss a dose
*Content updated at press time to guarantee the most current information available
*Concise and consistent format helps readers find what they need easily
*Explains how the older body metabolizes drugs differently

Library Journal

Edited by Hochadel (PharmD, BCPS; clinical editor, Gold Standard) and written by a team of contributors that includes other doctors of pharmacy, a consumer advocate, and two Harvard-trained physicians, this full-color guide is no doubt timed to be released in tandem with the Medicare Part D commotion. A preface covers issues ranging from controlling medication risks to saving money on prescriptions to becoming a well-informed drug consumer; also included are an illustrated guide on how to navigate the text and a section on common drug/food/supplement interactions. The main portion of the text is made up of more than 1200 A-to-Z generic drug entries and is indexed by disease/disorder and again by the brand name of the drug. Each entry, which spans one and a half to two pages, is accompanied by a picture of the drug and mini-sections detailing the drug's nature, its proper administration, possible interactions and side effects, and optimal storage as well as questions to ask your doctor and what to do in the event of a missed dose. Bottom Line While the similar Physician's Desk Reference is dense and not necessarily geared toward lay readers, the AARP Guide contains information that can be easily grasped without the help of a doctor or pharmacist. It is a practical, concise, and extremely informative resource that will be of great use to patrons with drug inquiries. Suitable for many types of libraries, including public, medical, patient education, and academic, this guide should be a priority purchase.-Nicole A. Cooke, Montclair State Univ.

The Goddess of Happiness: A Down-to-Earth Guide for Heavenly Balance and Bliss

Author: Debbie Gisonni

Most people consider happiness the most important pursuit in life, yet few seem to find it. Women, in particular, face a constant internal battle between finding their own happiness and ensuring the happiness of others. Debbie Gissoni, aka The Goddess of Happiness, shows that happiness is a choice that anyone can make, anytime and anywhere. In 44 dynamic entries the author shares her stories, insights, humor, and simple suggestions to bring out the radiant Goddess in every woman. Each entry includes meditations and journaling ideas to help readers transform the pursuit of happiness into a tangible, everyday practice. Gissoni teaches that all women are goddesses - they just need to tap their innate power and reacquaint themselves with their own magic; and that life is meant to be enjoyable - not to be taken so seriously or made too complicated. Each of these chapters ends with five simple ways to have an easier and happier life.

Reflexology Basics

Author: Denise Whichello Brown

Everyone knows the soothing power of a simple foot massage. This feeling of relaxation is enhanced many times over with the science of reflexology. Like mirrors, points on your feet reflect specific organs, joints, and other bodily systems, and applying gentle pressure to these points stimulates the body's ability to heal itself. Press lightly on the base of the big toe, for example, to ease headaches; rotate that same toe to alleviate stiffness in the neck; perform pressure circles on the little toe to relieve bursitis. Whether you target specific problem areas such as ulcers, cystitis, muscle pain, poor skin tone, or digestive disorders, or simply want to promote a general feeling of well-being by cleansing the body of toxins, the benefits of reflexology are almost limitless. Practice the proper techniques and enjoy the healing powers of this simple, totally natural way to restore balance to the body.

Ritalin Nation or Private Parts

Ritalin Nation: Rapid-Fire Culture and the Transformation of Human Consciousness

Author: Richard J DeGrandpr

By the year 2000, the USDA predicts that 15 percent—8 million—of our childrenwill be on their way to using Ritalin. In this illuminating investigation of the epidemic of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and its most widely prescribed treatment, the powerful psychostimulant Ritalin, psychologist Richard DeGrandpre sounds a warning: we may well be failing our children by treating symptoms and not causes with a quick-fix and ultimately unsatisfactory solution. Drawing on the latest findings from developmental, psychobiological, and social scientific research, DeGrandpre "criticizes America's obsession with performance and quick satisfaction and the country's reliance on Ritalin [as] a performance-enhancing drug" (Natural Health). He cautions that our society-wide rush to more, and faster, stimulation leaves children especially vulnerable to "sensory addictions." Ritalin Nation exposes the shortsightedness of mere biological explanations of ADD and offers some practical guidelines for cultivating a less-hurried existence and promoting a saner, safer community for our children.

Private Parts: A Doctor's Guide to the Male Anatomy

Author: Yosh Taguchi

Straight talk for men … and the women who love them
When it comes to the health of their sex organs, even educated, intelligent men become embarrassed and irrational, preferring to ignore a problem in the hope that it will go away and seeking medical advice only as a last resort. Private Parts boldly cuts through the superstition, popular misconception, and general ignorance to provide a reassuring, no-nonsense guide to this area of vital concern to all men.
Dr. Yosh Taguchi, a prominent Montreal urologist, sets out in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner how the male sex organs function, what is considered normal, and what should be checked out by a doctor. Prostate trouble, erectile dysfunction, infertility, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, vasectomies, and artificial insemination are some of the common concerns and health issues discussed. Taguchi also dispels myths about sexual performance and male menopause.
In this new, expanded edition Dr. Taguchi also discusses the latest developments in the treatment of the prostate and updates information on drugs for erectile dysfunction.

Author Biography: Dr. Yosh Taguchi is Associate Professor of Surgery (Urology) at McGill University and a senior urologist at Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. In addition to publishing in scientific journals, he has contributed articles in Geriatrics, Diagnosis, and The Canadian Doctor.

Health or The Age of Melancholy

Health

Author: Mildred Blaxter

This book provides a comprehensive and highly readable introduction to the key debates surrounding the concept of health today. It discusses how health is defined, constructed, experienced and acted out in contemporary developed societies, drawing on a range of empirical data and theoretical approaches from the USA, Britain, France, Germany and other countries. Throughout the text special emphasis is given to the lay perspective to show how people themselves think about and experience health and illness. The author guides students through all the relevant conceptual models of the relationship of health to the structure of society, from inequality in health to the ideas of social capital, the risk society and theories of evolutionary biology. The book concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of the impact of new knowledge and technology on our understanding of health and illness in the contemporary world. Health will be an invaluable textbook for students of medicine and other health professions, as well as those studying sociology, health sciences and health promotion.

The Age of Melancholy: Major Depression and Its Social Origins

Author: Dan G Blazer

Depression has become the most frequently diagnosed chronic mental illness, and is a disability encountered almost daily by mental health professionals of all trades. Major depression is a medical disease, which some would argue has reached epidemic proportions in contemporary society, and it affects our bodies and brains just like any other disease. The Age of Melancholy asks why the incidence of depression has been on such an increase in the last 50 years, if our basic biology hasn't changed as rapidly. To find answers, Dr. Blazer looks at the social forces, cultural and environmental upheavals, and other external, group factors that have undergone significant change. In so doing, the author revives the tenets of social psychiatry, the process of looking at social trends, environmental factors, and correlations among groups in efforts to understand psychiatric disorders.

The biomedical model of psychiatry that has dominated the field for the past half-century has faced minimal scrutiny, due inpart to the apparent advances made in the treatment of mental health issues during that time. But, Dr. Blazer eloquently argues, there is still room for a "new" social psychiatry to complement and complete the model, and he points to two concurrent trends for support: during the same 50-year period that saw the "death of social psychiatry," the rate of occurrence and increasing medicalization of depression as a secluded individual's issue have brought us to the Prozac era. In making the case for the connection of these two trends (both the products themselves of larger social and cultural movements), the author proposes a return of a new, more mature social psychiatry, tocomplete - not replace - the biomedical and clinical research models in place today.

This book is eminently readable, and should appeal to a broader audience than the psychiatrists, clinicians, and researchers who will make up the primary audience. While replete with the standard mental health references, sound research, andauthored by a recognized and respected professional, the ease of language and range of examples make this text accessible to a lay reader. This book should have cross-over appeal in sociology as well as social work and psychology.

Beyond Cholesterol: 7 Life-Saving Heart Disease Tests That Your Doctor May Not Give You

Author: Julius Torelli

The latest scientific research has revealed that cholesterol levels are not the definitive indicator of heart disease risk.  In fact, there are six new lab tests and a CT scan that can reveal much about the state of your heart and cardiovascular system. Dr. Torelli explains what the tests are, what they reveal, and how to get them. He also includes information on women’s heart health, and dietary and lifestyle factors that impact cardiovascular disease.

Beyond Cholesterol includes information on:
*C-Reactive Protein
*Fibrinogen
*Homocysteine
*Fasting Insulin
*Ferritin
*Lipoprotein(a)
*Calcium Heart Scan

Cholesterol tests are valuable but they don’t tell the whole story. This book explains how to get the most important information needed to determine how healthy your heart is and to stop heart disease in its tracks.

Library Journal

By now, everyone concerned with heart health knows to pay attention to his or her blood cholesterol levels. But recent research indicates that cholesterol levels alone are not the best predictors of heart disease-a host of other factors play a part in its development. Cardiologist Torelli (Integrative Cardiology Ctr., High Point, NC) is well positioned to explain this research and its implications for lay readers. After a clear, concise overview of heart disease, the author discusses seven other tests that provide information about one's heart health: C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, homocysteine, fasting insulin, ferritin, lipoprotein(a), and a calcium heart scan. He discusses who should take these tests, any controversies about their validity, and what medications or lifestyle changes one should consider based on the results. A glossary, bibliography, and list of useful web sites are included. As one of the few books to focus solely on additional predictors of heart health, this is highly recommended for public and consumer health libraries.-Eris Weaver, Cotati, CA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Women or Cancer Monologue Project

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Women: A Clinical Appraisal

Author: J Picton Thomas

Increase in life expectancy and awareness of the benefits of hormone therapy have increased the demand for hormone replacement therapy, yet the number of women in the UK receiving treatment are low in comparison with those in the USA and other European countries. Many doctors may be reluctant to prescribe hormone therapy as they do not appreciate that the benefits of treatment outweigh the possible risks.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Women explores various aspects of hormone therapy. The relevant physiology is outlined and the major issues in HRT, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis, are also addressed. Easily readable and with a well-balanced view, this book will be helpful to junior doctors, general practitioners, and specialists alike.

Feisty Woman's Breast Cancer Book

Author: Elaine Ratner

Breaking down the taboos associated with breast cancer and its treatment, Ratner offers women hope that they can survive and come out whole. She also shares 18 insights gleaned from her own experience with breast cancer. Published to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Publishers Weekly

A woman with an immensely positive attitude, Ratner, a Berkeley, Calif.-based editor and writer, offers this guide to the psychological and emotional aspects of breast cancer. Ratner describes her own encounter with the disease in 1995, when, at age 51, she found two lumps that were later diagnosed as malignant. The experience led her to challenge prevailing myths about breasts and women's self-image, and to assert her right to make decisions about her own body. She urges women to take time to learn about their treatment options, to find a doctor they can trust, to have confidence in their own decisions--and to expect a good outcome. She especially counsels sharing thoughts and feelings with family, friends and even one's children. Her own experience was indeed a positive one: four years after cancer, she is healthy and happy, and she reminds women that the great majority of those with breast cancer will, like her, recover. Never saccharine, and often adamant (she argues that women shouldn't let doctors convince them to have breast reconstruction on grounds that they would be incomplete without it), Ratner delivers an upbeat message about assertiveness, strength and positive thinking.

Library Journal

Ratner, a freelance author who battled breast cancer several years ago, here offers a new and controversial approach to the disease. Recovery, she argues, requires a positive outlook. She describes how to foster a post-diagnosis zest for life and stresses the importance of the mind-body connection. Ratner's opinions are sometimes controversial: "A breast," she writes, explaining her decision to forgo breast reconstruction after her mastectomy, "is completely expendable." But she also writes eloquently about her fear of the side effects of radiation, chemotherapy, and the drug Tamoxifen and her decision to refuse these traditional treatments (a decision that worked for her but might not be right for all breast cancer patients). While not taking the place of standard breast cancer treatment guides, this book does offer breast cancer survivors information about enhancing their emotional health--after a treatment decision has been made.

Trust Your Body! Trust Your Baby!: Childbirth Wisdom and Cesarean Prevention

Author: Andrea Frank Henkart

Includes a chapter by Dr. John Gray, author of the best-selling, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." Henkart and her collaborators inform women about the current realities of childbirth in America. They provide the reader with facts, figures, cesarean prevention techniques, and alternative approaches to the aggressive routines used by the medical profession today. The technology that "saves" many mothers and babies in childbirth is the same technology that robs many women of their right to birth naturally. Consequently, of the one million cesarean sections that will be performed in America next year, over half will be unnecessary. Women deserve to be informed about the realities of childbirth. They deserve to be encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and to trust the miracle of birth. It is through their conscious, educated choices that our children will be allowed a peaceful and natural beginning in life.

Jeffreys Journey or Hot Guide to Safer Sex

Jeffrey's Journey: Healing a Child's Violent Rages

Author:

From birth, it was clear that Jeffrey was not a typical child. By age three he exhibited such severe behavioral problems he was considered a danger to other children. No daycare would take him, and doctors were more stymied than helpful about his extreme aggressiveness and compulsiveness. Threatened with institutionalization for her six-year-old son, Debbie Jeffries resorted to an unusual therapy: marijuana. A conservative Christian, she had no experience with the drug, but extensive research convinced her this might be her last hope.

Jeffrey's Journey powerfully describes the desperate journey of a family toward a semblance of normalcy, including the court battle defending Jeffrey's right to this unconventional treatment, the family's media exposure and the threat to Jeffrey's ongoing care by federal raids on California's medical marijuana dispensaries.

Hot Guide to Safer Sex

Author: Yvonne Fulbright

The Hot Guide to Safer Sex is an entertaining and down-to-earth approach to making sex both safer and steamier for you and your partner.

With AIDS and STDs reaching epidemic proportions, practicing safer sex is becoming increasingly important-yet less than half of young adults use protection consistently during sexual intercourse. Stigmatized as "unsexy," safer sex and erotic romps are considered mutually exclusive.

Enter Yvonne Fulbright, New York University Sexuality instructor and bonafide "sexpert." Fulbright tackles the subject in a thorough, Generation Y-friendly book that includes quotes and stories from the author's extensive circle of friends as well as insightful tips on making safer sex passionate. Written in a hip, lighthearted tone, the book is packed with accurate information and the latest sex research findings.

Library Journal

This comprehensive guide for younger heterosexual singles packages cautionary details with charming enthusiasm. Fulbright, a doctoral student in international community health with a master's in human sexuality, begins with sexual anatomy, response, and orgasm basics, proceeds to masturbation and fantasy, and follows with a chapter on relationships. Then, temporarily postponing the "good stuff," she segues into STDs, AIDS/HIV, contraception, and safer sex. Eventually come intercourse positions, oral sex, and manual stimulation, plus less common topics: talking dirty, phone sex, interfemoral and gluteal sex, G-spots and multiple orgasms in both sexes, sex toys, and the PC muscle. Two final chapters warn against drugs and alcohol. Also included are informative illustrations and sensuous photos. The book is light on resources, providing mainly web sites and 800 numbers, and sources for research quoted are not given-not a major flaw for this audience. Other, broader manuals appealing to the same group include Sari Locker's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex and Paul Joannides's Guide to Getting It On! Recommended for public libraries with a large singles clientele.-Martha Cornog, Philadelphia Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Care of the Difficult Patient or Practical Ayurveda

Care of the Difficult Patient

Author: Peter J Manos

A stay in hospital is a traumatic experience for most patients; however, some patients may be more difficult than others to care for, because of mental distress and ill health, historic substance abuse, demanding family members or abusive behavior, for example. "Difficult" patients place extra demands on nurses professionally and personally. Developing the skills required to deal with difficult patients is therefore vital to the smooth running of any hospital ward.

Practical Ayurveda: Secrets for Physical, Sexual and Spiritual Health

Author: Atreya

Practical Ayurveda shows how Ayurveda, the traditional natural healing system of India, can correct ordinary ailments with changes in diet and exercise. Atreya writes with humor and compassion, and uses everyday language to explain why Ayurveda (with an emphasis on Prana) is the best overall method to promote health and long life. He clarifies the spiritual principles behind Ayurveda, and provides a broader and more flexible perspective on this ancient healing system than is usually given. He discusses the advantages of using a constitutional system of medicine whereby you are diagnosed and treated as an individual instead of being considered just an ailing patient. A constitutional test is included for determining your own ayurvedic humors. Atreya also gives a straightforward approach to the health benefits of good sexual relationships. Some ayurvedic teachers promote abstinence; however, Atreya shows that our mental attitude towards sex is more important than abstinence. He presents important insights for both women and men, so that we can, regardless of our sexual orientation, maintain a healthy balance. This is an excellent reference guide that includes special diets and cures for dozens of ailments.

Breaking the Antibiotic Habit: A Parent's Guide to Coughs, Colds, Ear Infections, and Sore Throats

Author: Paul A Offit

Protect your child. Leading pediatric experts answer all your questions about reducing the risks of antibiotic overuse. "An important book for parents…the best source I have seen about the dangers of antibiotic resistance and the risks of antibiotic overuse." —Scott Dowell, M.D., M.P.H. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "Finally, a book that discusses the problem of antibiotic overuse in a readable way, combining daily experiences in pediatric practice with scientific explanations." —S. Michael Marcy, M.D., American Academy of Pediatrics If your child has a cough, cold, ear infection, or sore throat, will antibiotics help? The answer may surprise you. Overuse of antibiotics has led to antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, or "superbugs." Antibiotics are increasingly ineffective because they are often prescribed inappropriately to treat viral infections, such as colds, bronchitis, and sore throats. Natural supplements may offer more relief. Clearly organized and packed with vital information, Breaking the Antibiotic Habit covers all the key issues, including:

• Distinguishing between strep throat and sore throat, sinus infection and the common cold, pneumonia and bronchitis, and ear infections and ear fluids
• Helping children with viral infections feel better—without antibiotics
• Getting the most from over-the-counter remedies and natural supplements—which are best for specific symptoms, and which to avoid altogether
