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.

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.
