The Breathing room activity book is an EXCELLENT resource about indoor air pollution. The book has very easy to read but informative articles that middle-school aged and older can understand. For example, one of the articles talks about some of the key causes of indoor air pollution and that indoor levels of some air pollutants are sometimes 2-5 to 100 times higher than outdoor levels. The readings definetely made an impact on my students and made them think. The BEST part of the book is all of the little activities that you can do with groups of students that are very easy and inexpensive to set up. I've done a few of them with my high school chemistry students and they have been a big hit. One of the activities that I like best is where students put steel wool in a bottle. The iron uses up the oxygen and students get a sense of what percentage of the air is made up of oxygen. There are many activities that can be adjusted to all age groups.

I really found this book both informative and useful. I learned many new natural and economical tips for natural skin care and many recipes for making my own hair care products. Lots of easy ideas. A+

An excellent book. The recipes and treatments can be found in the kitchen and are just as effective as more expensive ones. Go buy it!

This is a great book to help you gain knowledge about skin care. It also helped my Daughter with her acne problems. We have also purchased some of the products in the book.The products are great. Good book.

I have purchased the book written by Kenneth Beer MD - Palm Beach Perfect Skin and am so happy that I did. It explained in great detail an easy way to stay looking younger without having to go through major surgery. I have since purchased his products that are described in the book and can tell you the self heating crystals are absolutely wonderful. My skin has never felt so smooth. I would recommend everyone to get this book so they can achieve better looking skin becuase I can already see and feel a difference.

Bought this for my wife (a dermatologist) and she loves it. Asked me to buy more from the series.

Zoe Draelos is the expert on this topic. This book will teach you a lot

This book is properly titled "The Skin Sourcebook". I purchased "The Skin Sourcebook" after spending some time in Guatemala working with some doctors. I found I needed to know more about certain skin conditions and diseases. This book was exactly what I was looking for. It covers every possible skin condition, has tips on taking proper care of your skin, discusses modern medications used by doctors, and takes an in-depth look at all types of skin cancer. After reading this book I have been able to discuss with many people certain prevention's they can practice to take care of their skin and (Thanks to Dr. Boyd) I have recognized the risks I have been taking with my own body. Trying not to sound too cheesy, I must say that this book is a life savor. I suggest to anyone with skin to pick this book up and spend some time taking care of yourself.

Dr Boyd makes things so easy to understand in this informative, helpful book on every skin disorder imaginable. It's a worthwhile purchase and very handy.

I didn't think it was possible to cut skincare costs and look good too . . . until I bought this book. I was most impressed with the solutions that this book provides. A lot of beauty books tell you how to take care of your skin, but very few tell you how to FIX problems like acne and ezcema without spending lots of money. This one does. It's worth its weight in GOLD.

This is a well-written book that covers many skin and beauty topics. I liked that it was easy to understand and informative. It helped save me a lot of money, and I'd recommend that anyone who cares about the health of their skin buy this book.

I am so happy I happened across this book. I hit 30 recently and overnight my skin seemed to change. I've wanted to do more for my skin for 5 years now but have always felt overwhelmed by all the products out there. I also never had a dermatologist that offered up suggestions on how to go about minimizing the effects of aging. This book does that. Dr. Gross provides a helpful, easy to read, and easy to understand approach to taking control of your skin destiny. He doesn't bore you with medical jargon but gives you just enough so that you have a basic understanding of what role different hormones and chemicals play on your skin. He starts out with a helpful test to group you into one of four skin levels. Based on what level you are in, he recommends a skin care regimen. Although he has his own line of pricey skin care products, he does not push it on the reader which makes the book that much more credible and respectable. After oohing and aahing over the before and after color photos, I incorporated some of his advice and have had some really great results (using Renova, twice daily washing and regular exfoliation). Based on the immediate improvements I just purchased some of his skincare products (it is too early to comment on them.)

This book has done such an excellent job of explaining what my skin type and age group needs and how and where to get it. I typed up a list of my skin concerns and what products and lasers I should ask my dermatologist about. I feel much more confident that I will get the skin I want now that I know what to ask for.
A worthwhile read.

As a New Yorker, I have the privilege of both reading this book and being treated by Dr. Gross, so I can confirm that his methods and suggestions really work.

This is the book to buy before going to the dermatologist or plastic surgeon's office because it explains all your choices (peels, lasers, botox, etc.) and educates about what to look for in a safe, effective anti-aging program.

The book begins with the "Skin Lifecycle Quiz," which establishes the basis for customizing the approach to maintaining your skin. In my opinion, this is the key to choosing the right treatment options for improving your skin. Without it, it's too easy to just buy a line of treatment products at the department store and hope they work (we've all been there!), or possibly opt for inappropriate surgery or unecessary processes.

Dr. Gross's approach is conservative, and he emphasizes protection (sunscreen!!!) and using proven choices (active ingredients and technologies) to get the results that you want.

The biggest misconception I've encountered in recommending this book to friends is that they all want to wait until they're over 40 to start dealing with their skin. This is a big mistake - it's important to maintain your skin ASAP, whether you're in your 20's, 30's or more. Dr. Gross emphasizes preventive care, and I agree.
