CHEMOBRAIN
: How Cancer Therapies Can Affect Your Mind
[Ellen Clegg]
The brain fog that afflicts many people who have undergone standard or high-dose chemotherapy is known as "chemobrain". In this clear, concise guide for cancer patients, survivors, families, friends, and caregivers, journalist Ellen Clegg provides the latest information on this much-discussed but poorly understood side effect of chemotherapy treatment. Based on interviews with physicians and scientists who have treated and studied this problem, Clegg explains in understandable terms how chemotherapy works at the most basic biological level and also provides practical tips for coping with the aftermath of chemotherapy treatment. The key areas she addresses include: Tactics for dealing with cognitive problems, fatigue, and other lingering side effects; Strategies for multitasking at home and re-entering the workforce; Dealing with health insurance; The history of the patient empowerment movement that brought "chemobrain" to the attention of the medical establishment in the first place; The future of cancer research and the search for treatments that do less harm. This is the only book to delve into the cognitive problems associated with chemotherapy that many patients and survivors have complained of for years. "ChemoBrain" brings together cutting-edge science, the compelling stories of adults and children who have struggled for rears with cognitive dysfunction, and the coping strategies being developed on the front lines of patient care.

: How to Choose the Gender of Your Next Child

Advances in reproductive medicine have led to more options for couples today than have ever existed before -- even a few years ago. Perhaps most extraordinary recent development is technology that allows parents to choose the gender of their next child. In this comprehensive guidebook, Dr Daniel A Potter and Jennifer Merrill Thompson introduce the topic of high-tech gender selection, telling readers everything they need to know about conceiving a baby of a certain sex and taking them personally through ,he unique journey with a detailed roadmap. Dr Potter is an expert in the MicroSort technology that is used for gender selection at the Huntington Reproductive Center (Laguna Hills, CA). Jennifer Merrill Thompson conceived her daughter by means of this bold new technology and has been advising couples interested in gender selection for almost five years. Based on their first-hand experience, the authors are able to answer the questions most often raised about family balancing: What is involved in gender selection and can I do it? What is it like to go through this procedure? What are the chances of success? Can it harm my future baby? How does one get started and in what countries is it allowed? What are the laws and ethics involved with gender selection? The book also shares Jennifer Merrill Thompson's story of undergoing preconception gender selection for her third child, as well as the experiences of dozens of couples who have tried some form of gender selection. Highly informative and easy to follow, "Family Balancing" walks the reader through every step in this fascinating new area of reproductive medicine.

POWER OF THE MIDDLE GROUND
: A Couple's Guide to Renewing Your Relationship
[Marty Babits, LCSW, BCD]
This book explains -- as no other self-help book does -- why and how the inherent difficulties entailed in the change process itself are daunting. Marty Babits, a seasoned couples therapist and educator, explains strategies and provides tips for grappling successfully with the challenges that change presents. This key aspect of working through relationship difficulties has, until now, been given short shrift in the popular and academic literature. Despite the central place of divorce in our culture, he teaches couples how to achieve a much greater impact in solving difficult interpersonal problems than is often thought possible. Babits helps couples to envision a place that brings their potential for love and compassion alive. This place, which neither partner can dominate and in which each learns to approach problems productively, he calls the "middle ground". Through a series of exercises, he equips couples to appreciate and actualise what is positive and possible in their relationship. This encouraging, yet realistic book empowers partners to negotiate differences, emphasise the positive, see issues from each other's point of view, defuse anger, and, as a result, rekindle warmth and love.

RADICAL RECKONINGS
: Women's Lives, Men's Technologies
[Renate Klein]
For more than 25 years the author has been debating the uses and misuses of technologies. With a background in neurobiology, she has unpacked mystifying language and challenged doctors and technologists on their ethics and methodologies. She has written widely on reproductive technologies, HRT, cloning, abortion and other issues affecting women's health. Her work in Women's Studies has also been groundbreaking and her writings have influenced students, teachers and researchers around the world. The author's work engages the reader and her political clarity is refreshing and often irreverent. This book brings together a diverse array of these writings, including pieces on feminist theory, activism, women's health, the over-use of anti-depressants and cyberfeminism as well as talks on immigration and population control, the environment, lesbian visibility and women's leadership. It also includes reflections on living in a number of countries and some excursions into fiction.

WISDOM OF HARRY POTTER
: What Our Favorite Hero Teaches Us About Moral Choices
[Edmund M Kern]
Since the 1997 release of J K Rowling's first novel - "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" - no series of children's books has been more incredibly popular or widely influential. How do we explain the enormous appeal of these stories to children? In this original interpretation of the Harry Potter sensation, Edmund M Kern argues the attraction of these stories to children comes not only from the fantastical elements embedded in the plots, but also from their underlying moral messages. Children genuinely desire to follow Harry, as he confronts a host of challenges in an uncertain world, because of his desire to do the right thing. Harry's coherent yet flexible approach to dealing with evil reflects an updated form of Stoicism, says Kern. He argues that Rowling's great accomplishment in these books is to have combined imaginative fun and moral seriousness. Kern also shows adults how much they can gain by discussing with children the moral conundrums faced by Harry and other characters. The author outlines the central morals of each book, explains the Stoic principles found in the stories, considers the common critiques of the books, discusses Rowling's skilful blend of history, legend, and myth, and provides important questions for guiding children through Harry's adventures. This newly updated revision of the original 2003 edition covers all seven books in the Harry Potter series and adds a good deal of commentary to reflect the many new developments in his continuously popular series of books.

: What Every Woman Needs to Know
[Lynda Rushing MD & Nancy Joste MD]
This comprehensive guide for the more than 4 million women each year who experience abnormal Pap smears discusses the relationship of cervical cancer to infection by the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) and underscores how crucial Pap smears are for cervical cancer prevention. The book covers the meaning of different Pap-smear diagnoses, ranging from atypical to full-blown cervical cancer.

Lastly, the future of Pap smears and cervical-cancer prevention is explored, with special emphasis on the recently approved HPV vaccine. Vital to the book are interspersed personal interviews, which provide firsthand information on women's feelings about their abnormal Pap smears as well as their experiences with cervical disease. These personal vignettes offer insights into the social and emotional effects that often result from an abnormal Pap smear. The first edition was chosen by 'Nurse Practitioner' and 'Library Journal' as one of the best books of the year. Now fully updated, this clearly written, very approachable guide fills a vital consumer-health need.

ANTI-AGING CURE
: Based on Your Body Type
((Body Soul Series))
[Manon Pilon]
Acclaimed beauty expert Manon Pilon reveals for the very first time her SECRETS on maintaining youthfulness. Manon has counseled thousands of people around the world on how to let their natural beauty and grace shine through over the course of time, and now she shares her vast and rich experience with you. Manon guides you, step-by-step, in discovering your body type by carefully examining your shape, natural coloring, and genetic inheritance. Armed with these new insights, you will be able to make enlightened choices about your nutrition, skin care, and exercise routine. This profound understanding will also shed new light on venturing into more compatible and healthier relationships. It will be your own, personal way to elegantly journey through time. This will be YOUR Anti-Aging Cure. Tapping into the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosopher Hippocrates, Manon Pilon asserts: you are unique! No two people are alike. As an individual, nonetheless, you share characteristics that classify you according to certain body types, each of which functions on a different physiological level. Accordingly, what works for one person does not necessarily work in the same way for another. The reason most anti-aging programs in the past have not been able to deliver on what they promised is they fail to take this simple fact into account.
