This textbook provides very up-to-date theories and information on the causes and treatments of cancer. It begins with a discussion of cancer in general and moves on to describe its various forms. Throughout the text, it strikes a balance between detail and relevance. In describing the mechanisms of cancer, the book provides an excellent introduction to various cell processes. The book also has chapters on the current treatments, statistical data (and the various methods and jobs associated with it), the history of various types of cancers, and the types and actions of various carcinogens. This book is an excellent text for anyone interested in the various aspects of cancer.

Authored by a food writer and teacher, Helen Cassidy Page, a cardiovascular specialist, John Speer Schroeder, M.D., and a registered dietician, Tara Coghlin Dickson, M.S., R.D., this book offers a simple health plan - keep saturated fat to 25 grams per day and all fat to 75 or less.

The first half of the book describes the plan, the reasoning behind it and offers quizzes and tables so the reader can see how their present habits compare with the ideal in terms of eating and exercise, and compare different prepared and raw foods for nutrient value.

The system depends on what the authors call "Fat Tracking," becoming aware of fats and saturated fats in all the foods we eat. Numerous lists offer alternatives to high-fat foods (i.e., whole grain bread instead of croissant, Canadian bacon instead of regular, angelfood cake instead of donut. They explain the vital differences between oils and how to read labels in supermarkets, choose cuts of meat, find high-fiber foods.

The second half consists of recipes from breakfast through dessert, each introduced with tips for preparation, variations and storage and including, of course, nutrition information. Recipes include unusual things like Eggplant Caviar, Melon and Cucumber Soup, Corn and Polenta Souffle With Cilantro Cream and fat-reduced favorites like Lasagne, various pizzas, Pork Roast With Prunes and variations on traditional themes like Grilled Halibut with Tomato Salsa, London Broil Teriyaki and Walnut Brownies, made with apple sauce and cocoa.

The authors advise gradual transitions rather than a radical makeover and the recipes are attractive, easy and inspirational. An excellent and informative program for good, healthy eating.

The recipes in this book are well above average and are not generally difficult to prepare. California style - fruit juices, mostly citrus, are frequently used in marinades, salad dressings, and dips - adds a good deal to many of the recipes. My husband and I enjoyed this so much we have frequently given it as a gift.

A preliminary aside: take the whiny tone of the Kirkus Reviewer's comments (above) with a very large grain of salt. Then read this book. It goes far beyond the depth of others with similar goals. Its power resides not only in its subject matter but also in its empathetic and thoughtful treatment of those who have provided the interviews on which the book is based. Fine, fine work indeed.

In recording the stories of one community's response to the AIDS pandemic, the authors have captured the essense of the human spirit as it faces catestrophic circumstances. Starry Night is not just the record of Provincetown's response to AIDS; it is a wonderfully written account of how people embrace people when confronted by adversity. It is a story of place and of people and it transcends both of these to chronical something much larger than one community on a 'spit of land' at the edge of America.

If you want a book that tells you everything from what T cell is to the incubation period for measles, this book is it.

I learned so much information from this book that I though I "knew" except that when I started reading, I realized I didn't really know. I have always used the words "infectious disease" interchangeably with "communicable disease" and I don't see how I could have gotten this far in my career without knowing something as simple as how to differentiate the two!

Honestly, I would probably buy the whole book just for the chapter on immunity. It was the easiest explanation I've ever seen. Was I supposed to have learned this in school? I sure didn't! I'm not dumb, I'm just not smart enough to get all of the complicated non-clinical mumbo-jumbo. This book made it entirely readable and comprehensible.

I bought this book because I felt I had to. I teach a breastfeeding and lactation course, and I was struggling with simple issues like routes of transmission, and the effectiveness of simple actions to protect the newborn from the mother's disease. I ended up being really intrigued by the material presented, including special features, such as the "Alerts" and the "Case Studies" and the "Newsmakers." Trust me, this author has a great way of making the dull and complicated seem interesting and easy to understand.

Dr Khardori, a renowned expert in Infectious Diseases, has edited this informative and comprehensive book. This is the only book of its kind - well researched, and written, and places the issue of bioterrorism in historical perspective. I would recommend this to physicians, medical students, and to anyone involved with public health and policy.

It is such a relief to have an up-to-date book about diabetes that's readable and understandable. It answers so many questions that my doctors don't have time to answer, and it gives me so much information on issues I never even thought about! Thank you, Dr. Alterman

A brilliant piece of comparative history. Written with panache and wit, you won't be able to put down this book. Informed by a keen sense of history, it reads like a first-rate piece of journalism. A must-read.
