| HEART DISEASE : What Your Doctor Won't Tell You [Dr Rodger H Murphree] Almost one million Americans die each year from cardiovascular related illnesses. This number accounts for 41% of all deaths in the United States each year. In fact, cardiovascular disease claims as many lives as the next eight leading causes of death combined, including cancer, accidents and AIDS. And, despite an aggressive campaign launched by the American Heart Association to counter the epidemic of heart disease, one person dies from it every 33 seconds. For nearly four decades, we have relied on medical myths to guide us in our attempts to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. We have been told to reduce our cholesterol, saturated fat intake, and to take lipid-lowering medications. This book examines these myths and gives readers the facts to make better choices and live longer lives free of heart disease. { 192pp, 155x230mm, February 2006; PB, £9.99, 0972893857:9780972893855 , Cardinal Publishers Group (Harrison and Hampton Publishing) } |

| KICKBOXING FOR WOMEN [Debz Buller & Jennifer Lawler] Each year, thousands of people begin kickboxing, and -- not so surprisingly -- the vast majority of these people are women. It's a great time for this sport, reflected in the number of women of all ages who show up for training classes at gyms throughout the country. With virtually every popular woman's character in movies in television shows exhibiting some sort of kickboxing or martial arts prowess, the trend will probably continue for some time.In addition, thousands more women join related classes, such as aerobox, cardio-kickboxing, Tae Bo and the like. Once these women start learning some of the techniques of kickboxing, they often want to learn more. Whether they attempt to learn on their own or through classes offered by experienced instructors, most kickboxers eventually feel the need to have a skills book to help them with their practice. Most women, however, must purchase books intended for men, since little traditional kickboxing information is directed toward a female audience. While women can, of course, benefit from material written for men, they find it more useful to have information written with them in mind. Some of the challenges that women face are not faced by men, and many of the inherent skills that many women have (speed, agility, flexibility) are often overlooked in traditional reference books. This book covers all the essentials of learning kickboxing, plus tips especially for women. It contains information helpful to beginning, intermediate and advanced kickboxers. The book also includes principles, techniques and drills for fitness kickboxer as well as the professional. { 182pp, 175x255mm, April 2002; PB, £11.50, 193054653X:9781930546530 , Cardinal Publishers Group (Wish Publishing) } |
| KURT HAHN'S SCHOOLS & LEGACY : To Discover You Can Be More & Do More Than You Believed [Martin Flavin] The impact that one of this century's most creative educators had on nearly 4 million girls and boys is chronicled here. For over 75 years up to this present day, Hahn's schools have enrolled students world-wide including such notables as England's Prince Charles and Prince Philip. Though it is his famous Outward Bound program that has received such international recognition, Hahn's tenets of teaching formulated so many years ago still are proving valid today. Surviving in the wilderness and surviving in a complex society requires similar basic character traits. The author, himself a Hahn's school alumnus, presents the life of his subject in an intriguing manner. The book will hopefully shed more light on a man about whom even many of his current students know so little. And Mr. Flavin can be even more illuminating via a telephone interview. His observations are insightful, witty and poignant in recalling the life of Kurt Hahn. { 163pp, 140x215mm, January 1996; PB, £9.99, 0912608781:9780912608785 , Cardinal Publishers Group (Middle Atlantic Press) } |

| PUNCH : Why Women Participate in Violent Sports [Jennifer Lawler] Over the past year, a startling development has occurred in the mainstream press: sportswriters have started taking note of women who participate in violent sports. Such women include Tonya Butler, who wants to be the first woman to play in a Division I football game; Laila Ali, a professional boxer with a winning record, who wants to follow in her father's footsteps; and Margaret McGregor, the first woman to fight a man in a professional boxing bout (she won). But there have always been women who participated in contact sports. Think of the women's hockey team who competed in the 1998 Olympics – they've been playing the game for years. Or consider the Golden Gloves Boxing Championships, which allowed female competitors since 1995. Or consider the case of Susan Booth, nobody famous, a gym owner, mother of two and fifth-degree (master) black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She's been fighting for fifteen years. That women have participated in violent sports for some years doesn't mean women in contact sports is accepted or considered acceptable by most people. The Title IX regulation, which is supposed to guarantee equal opportunity for female college athletes, specifically excludes contact sports from its gender equity statement – women who wished to participate in contact sports at a college and are not allowed to do so can have claim against the school; legally they are not being discriminated against. Sportswriter Leigh Montville has attacked women's boxing as "a sick athletic cartoon." He claims that women participating in contact sports are being exploited. But the women involved don't seem to think so. "This is a dream of mine," says Freeda Foreman (daughter of George Foreman). "I want to let women know there are no limitations." Laila Ali says, "I just love how it feels." As female participation in violent sports such as boxing, hockey and martial arts grows, so do the questions. It can no longer be called a 'novelty' or a 'gimmick' as it has been in the past. So, why do women participate in violent sports and what does it mean? Including the author's personal experience as an athlete and the experiences and thoughts of other women in violent sports, some well-known, some not, all of them defying traditional gender roles. Through interviews and questionnaires with athletes, coaches and observers as well as trained mental health professionals interested in the phenomenon, the reasons why women participate in contact sports – and what they get out of them – are examined. { 152pp, 155x230mm, March 2002; PB, £11.50, 1930546505:9781930546509 , Cardinal Publishers Group (Wish Publishing) } |
| SAFE PASSAGE : Thinking Clearly About Life & Death [Richard E Simmons III] At some point in life's journey, each of us is bound to realise, in our own way and in our own time, that no matter how hard we try, we are unlikely to find any significant measure of happiness while we live in fear of our mortality. On the contrary, Christian apologist Richard E. Simmons, III, suggests that as mature, responsible adults we must recognise that until we choose to carefully examine and accept the philosophical implications of death, we actually forego the opportunity of experiencing the rich promises of life. The central focus of this book of quiet and caring reflections, ideal for those who may be struggling with very real issues of death and dying, of fear and loss, conveys the conviction that the true challenge to leading a full life is to reach that place in our intellectual and emotional development where our perspective on dying is genuinely transformed. Only then, the author concludes, will we find ourselves in a position to discover and share with others the happy prospect of a hoped-for peace -- a peace which passes all understanding. { 208pp, 155x230mm, February 2006; HB, £16.99, 0944353150:9780944353158 , Cardinal Publishers Group (Reading Matter) } |

| SAVVY GUIDE TO CAR MAINTENANCE & REPAIR [Kate J Chase] Has the technology in your car or truck passed you by?
