Customer Reviews:

Sparse data.......2004-09-22

Candidly, you are unlikely to have heard of many of the women described in this book. Male scientists from that century are often forgotten today, unless they really were the giants in their fields. So it is that much harder for any females to be remembered now.

The book restricts itself to Britain and the US. Because despite the well described discrimination against the women in the book, those countries were the most receptive to female researchers. A telling commentary of the social mores of that time, even amongst the most educated and supposedly least prejudiced males - the faculty of the universities.

Creese must have spent years delving into musty boxes of records. Any of you who have done research will appreciate the lengths she must have gone through to unearth the raw data, like the biographies. If some of these seem sparse, little wonder.

A fantastic book.......2006-03-11

This books really should be read by every woman. It's very user-friendly, it explains simply how many problems women typically suffer from are simply symptoms of conditions that can be easily solved (and she tells you how).
This is not a diet book per se, but she includes also an explanation of what might be hindering a woman's weight loss efforts. However she also targets things that go more to the general wellbeing, and you can choose to implement all of her suggestions or just a few - either way, you'll see a definite improvement in your health and wellbeing!

This is one book you'll want to share with every woman you know. But don't lend out your copy for too long, you'll want to refer to it again and again because it contains so much info and it's so accessible.

Not a diet a way of life! Do it and feel better........2004-03-04

Ann Louise Gittleman a nutritionist and weight loss expert has put together a fantastic comprehensive guide that is educational and eye opening. This book is full of common sense health and nutrition advice every woman should know.

The book begins by categorizing general eating habits based on the current nutritional trends of the last 45-50 years and then details to our horror, how insufficient those eating habits are in maintaining a healthy weight let alone a healthy body. Whether low fat, low carb, high carb, or chronic dieting the book demonstrates the damage women inflict on their health by indulging in diets that are trendy and harmful. The book promotes balance and natural foods for both weight loss and overall health while detailing the importance of quality choices in our food consumption.

For me the most interesting and educational are the chapters that deal with fats and sugars in our diets. Gittleman's theorem is that the right kind of fats can be and are beneficial to women. For example, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are essential to proper bodily function and assist in the distribution of other vitamins and minerals throughout the body.

I also found the book informative in regards to the hormonal and reproductive health of women and the correlation to proper and balanced nutrition. She not only explains why but how to get all that you need by making wise choices in available foods and how they effect menstrual cycles, menopause, and P.M.S..

I will admit at times the book will detail scientific studies by different doctors and universities that reaffirm Gittleman's nutritional stance that although necessary I thought a bit dry. Overall this book is full of information about what women should be eating, should be avoiding, and how to go about it. On top of all the education the book has recipes, suggested menus, and a shopping list to help you on your way to a more balanced healthy lifestyle. I thought the book exceptional.

A great follow up to Before the Change.......1999-02-18

I have become a real fan of Ann Louise Gittleman's work. I first learned of her through her book Before the Change and picked this one up shortly thereafter. A great follow up because Super Nutrition for Menopause deals with concerns of the older woman like diabetes and osteoporosis. I think this book would make a good Mother's Day or Birthday Gift because it is a gift of health.

This easy to read and user friendly book is a wealth of helpful information especially for those of us making this next transition in life. The book explains in understandable terms what menopause is, what its most common symptoms are, and the different ways it may be experienced.

Book Description

Are you getting enough calcium? Recent studies show that most people are not. Calcium, the building clock of your bones, is critical for good health and a strong skeleton. Now, you can substantially improve your bone health and protect against osteoporosis with a remarkable new source of calcium, CCM (calcium citrate malate). This "super calcium," extensively researched at leading universities for over a decade, delivers more absorbable calcium and better protection against bone loss than other calcium supplements.

Dr. Mark Andon describes what optimal calcium nutrition is and provides compelling evidence showing why CCM should be part of your arsenal against bone loss, including:

How calcium helps maintain vital functions and strong bones
Why you should double your calcium intake now
Why certain lifestyle factors can make or break your bones
How CCM provides 40% more calcium absorption than other calcium sources
And more!

Super Calcium Miracle goes beyond speculation to give you a winning formula for success in your fight against bone loss.

Customer Reviews:

I found this book to be an excellent professional update........1999-05-22

Ten years ago I worked professionally in the field of osteoporosis, and found this book to be an excellent and very well documented update on the science of calcium and bone health. I have always been a sceptic about whether we truly need so much calcium, but this book is so well documented and well written that I have made a dramatic change in my beliefs and practices.

Soy Smart Health: for women & men.......2005-07-06

Hi,

This is an interesting book. Well worth reading. Lots of information.

I wish they had spent a bit more time editing the text... as there are plenty of opportunities for laying it out better or expressing ideas more clearly (expected more from a bunch of PH.D's). They tend to repeat themselves a lot in rapid succession.

The book explains the different effects of phyto-estrogens & estrogens very well Nb. They miss the opportunity to tie this in with xeno-estrogens neatly.

This information very relevant to women with breast cancer who want to know whether or not Soy phyto-estrogens will make things better or worst. It also relevant to women with Estrogen Dominance Syndrome that might be suffering from Endometriosis: You gain a whole new respect and understanding for the balancing role of progesterone.

It even has a few negative things to say about Soy oil (Omega 6 oils).

The book is not just for women... although the author certainly gives this impression.

To balance it up a bit they could have added a section on men... as men too can have high estrogen levels (from xenoestrogens)... and soy will help.

They do mention men periodically. The book has plenty of relevance to men because of the health benefits of soy.

After reading this book you'll be a Soy expert. Importantly you'll understand how soy works... and that means that you've got a better chance of applying it appropriately.

:-)

The best soy book I've seen........2000-06-06

Soy Smart Health is the best book on soy I've seen so far. Solomon et al have explored areas of soy health benefits I haven't ever considered. Their research is complete and current, with citations as recent as March 2000. This book is definitely one of the best purchases I've made this year. All of my friends have one now.

Different diets work for different people. Otherwise, how could people advocating a Pritikin-type diet of high carbohydrates and low fat claim success when Atkins-diet followers also claim success with high fat and low carbohydrates?

Gittleman is in the more recently minted 40-30-30 camp. That is, she recommends a diet of 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 30 percent fat for most men. Practically speaking, given the average diet of American men, this means eating a little less fat, a lot fewer carbohydrates, and a lot more protein. Still, she acknowledges that some guys will feel better and control their weight more easily with a different nutrient balance.

Much of the nutritional advice here falls into the haven't-we-heard-this-somewhere-before? category, including advice on eating foods in their least processed state and substituting some saturated fats for unsaturated ones, while altogether avoiding some fats, such as the hydrogenated, heart-clogging trans fats in margarine. Once past these basics, though, Gittleman looks at the major health problems facing men--prostate enlargement, heart disease, weight gain--and offers nutritional advice to combat them. For example, the section on heart health contains an illuminating discussion of cholesterol. She lists lots of factors that cause it to rise, but notes that eating eggs and other cholesterol-rich foods isn't among them--something many men don't realize.

Gittleman uses an eclectic array of sources to make her various points--including literature from the Balance Bar company, which makes nutrition bars with the 40-30-30 formula. Once that bias is accounted for, though (she cites studies that show world-class athletes performed better on the 40-30-30 diet), the information in Super Nutrition for Men will be useful to regular guys. --Lou Schuler

Book Description

Beautifully prepared beef -- elegant Bacon-Wrapped Filets Mignons, tender Herb-Rubbed Veal Loin, old-fashioned Pot-Roast -- can be the showpiece of any meal. The idea of making such well-known dishes intimidates many cooks, however. But you will soon master these classic beef and veal recipes and many more with this book.

Williams-Sonoma Mastering Beef & Veal is a complete cooking course in single volume. The opening describes the different cuts of beef and veal, how to buy them, and how to trim them. You will also learn how to cook, season, and serve beef and veal, from readying your mise en place to expertly carving a bone-in roast.

Basic recipes and key techniques then illustrate dozens of indispensable culinary building blocks, such as how to prepare a stock or how to chop fresh herbs. Troubleshooting tips show you what can go wrong and how to fix it without having to start all over again. Next the master recipes lead you step-by-step, with friendly text and instructive photographs, through every step of preparation. These recipes include helpful advice other cookbooks assume you already know, and explain how to test beef and veal for doneness -- one of the most valuable kitchen skills any cook can master. The shorter recipes and variations in each chapter encourage you to continue practicing your newfound skills, building your repertory and confidence at the same time. Finally, a guide to equipment and a glossary of ingredients will help you stock your kitchen with all the essentials.

In these pages, you will find more than fifty classic recipes that tell you, in both pictures and words, how every dish you make should look and taste from beginning to end. Whether you are an aspiring novice or an experienced home cook, Mastering Beef & Veal will teach you all you need to know to prepare any beef or veal recipe with ease.

A wonderful guide to cooking meat!.......2006-08-26

I first borrowed this book from a friend. The books was so helpful that I had to go out and buy my own copy from Amazon. It is a great cook book. The illustrations are very helpful. It is written clearly, with step by step directions. It explains which cuts of meats are best used in different methods of cooking such as braising, roasting, and stir frying. It teaches you how to cook with meat and the recipes are simply amazing. I LOVE IT!
