| HOW TO GET KIDS TO EAT GREAT : and Love It! [Christine Wood MD] The risk of developing degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes and obesity can be significantly reduced through proper nutrition beginning in childhood and continuing through adulthood. Wood, a practising paediatrician for 14 years and a leading spokesperson on children's nutrition, outlines in this book ways of dealing with other non-degenerative diseases such as allergies, asthma, ear infections and attention deficit disorder (ADD) with preventative measures and with nutritional supplementation and a balanced childhood diet. The first section identifies the toxic conditions present in our environment today and why instilling lifelong healthy eating habits in our kids will help them battle the environment's negative effects on their bodies. The second section specifically outlines proper nutrition for every age group: infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, school age children, and teenagers. The final section provides research, case studies and tips on how environmental measures and in some cases, proper nutritional supplementation may reduce symptoms of common diseases such as allergies, asthma, ear infections, and ADD. She also presents compelling research on why certain nutrients may have an impact on our children's future risk of degenerative diseases of ageing, like heart disease and cancer. This is information that the parents who read this book will be able to apply to themselves. { 220pp, 155x230mm, April 2002; PB, £11.50, 1580000975:9781580000970 , Griffin Publishing } |

| UNDEFEATED, UNTIED, & UNINVITED : A Documentary of the 1951 University of San Francisco Dons Football Team [Kristine Setting Clark] The 1951 University of San Francisco Dons football team was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, college football teams to ever play the game. The 1951 squad went undefeated and the team boasted ten future NFL players, five future NFL Pro-Bowlers, and three future members of the NFL Hall of Fame-a record for one college team. Even the future NFL Commissioner, Pete Rozelle, played a role as the Dons' Athletic Publicist. At the height of their success, the team experienced one of the greatest snubs in college football history. Due to the team having two African-American star players in Ollie Matson and Burl Toler (Toler went on to become the first African-American official in the NFL), they were not invited to play in any of the college football bowl games. The SEC (Southeastern Conference), in 1951, would not schedule teams with 'Negro players', and the Orange Bowl invited the USF squad to play, minus Toler and Matson. As Gino Marchetti, defensive tackle for the team said, "We would have told them to go to hell, first. That's exactly how I feel!" Now, over 50 years later, the team is finally receiving the recognition it so richly deserves. This remarkable team has been the feature of a NFL film, has had numerous articles written about them, and in July 2000 a Senate Resolution passed honouring them. Now, this new book documents the 1951 Dons entire story from how it all started up to their recent invitation to be recognised by the White House. { 164pp, 155x230mm, August 2002; HB, £14.99, 1580001076:9781580001076 , Griffin Publishing } |

Inspired by the determination, spirit and will of Olympic athletes, this book considers these same qualities in terms of the non-Olympic athlete's daily life. People who want to get the most out of their professional and personal lives can tap the same energy that drives Olympic athletes by using the ideas presented in this book. The book is organised into three topic categories: internal process, behaviours, and biographical sketches of winning people. Determining what truly motivates a person, improving on-the-job performances, dealing with adversity, and working effectively with difficult people are some of the themes that are woven throughout the chapters. { 192pp, 150x230mm, May 1996; PB, £11.50, 1882180585:9781882180585 , Griffin Publishing } |
