Inspiring and practical- Sharron Dalton's account of childhood obesity is a must read for anyone who cares about our future (our children). Adults who are struggling to help children in their care achieve a healthy weight and active lifestyle will find this book a valuable resource. As a health care professional working with overweight children for many years, I've found this book to be a thorough and practical guide for the treatment and prevention of childhood obesity. The personal burdens that overweight children bear is covered with depth and warmth. Dalton's kind and helpful tone guides you through each recommendation for change that will help to treat overweight children, and help prevent obesity in others. Reasonable steps to take for schools, governmental agencies, teachers and parents are provided in detail to inspire us and to help us get started in being a voice for the health of all of our children.

I've read dozens of books on how to lose weight. This is the first and only one that tackles the subject on a comprehensive basis by analyzing ALL of the different programs, diets and treatments out there. It's a great book and lets the reader pick the treatment that fits him or her. None of us are carbon copies of each other and this book explains why some programs work for some people but fail with others. Using this book, I was able to figure out my best option. This isn't some fad "grapefruit" diet or other book that tries to push one particular idea. Instead, it covers EVERYTHING so you can pick what works for you. Thank you Dr. Taylor.

This is a beautiful book. I bought it because I'm on the very low carb food plan. It has great recipes. I really like the protein and vegetable recipes. I can never think of enough things to do with vegetables. Now I know what other people are cooking. I'm glad to learn more about phone and in person meetings. I never knew where the term "greysheet" came from. I have wanted to learn more about it for a long time.

It really helped my child lose weight! I love seeing her so slim now

The slightly naughty but nice cover attracted me when I first saw the book.
When I opened Beverly Rorem's new book, "Passion for Tea," I thought I would just take a tentative sip. But there I sat, drinking the entire book in, just like a delicious cup of tea. Much more than a simple overview of types of teas which is what I had expected, Bev has done her homework. Even though the book is a fun and easy read, it contains an amazing amount of scholarly research: history, international scope, specific medical and health references, and even travel suggestions in various countries including off the beaten track tea salons and tips on French waiters.
Having just visited an exhibition of Mary Cassatt's paintings, including the two that Bev references: "The Cup of Tea," and "Five O'Clock Tea," I know I will view these works with more understanding the next time I see them!
Being a tea drinker, I am familiar with a couple of the earlier books on tea, but none of them are as well written, researched, or have the scope of this new contribution to Tea Literature!
I've purchased a couple for friends and recommend you pick up a copy. Enjoy it with of course a cup of tea.

If you are a chocaholic or a popcornic, this is the book for you. It's simply delicious in providing easy-to-understand, easy-to-swallow (yes!!) guides to rid yourself of some of that extra pounds.

This is a great little book to keep all your pet's information in one location. It's small enough to transport easily, yet there is plenty of room for all kinds of information. I wasn't exactly sure if this would be what I want, as the description is not complete, and there are no photos of the inside of the book. Therefor I will provide a little more info:

The book can be used for one or two pets. (I bought one for each of my dogs.)There is space for 20+ contacts and info besides the obvious vet info. There are three handy checklists: Pet Travel Checklist, Pet First Aid Checklist, and Pet Evacuation Checklist. Blue colored pages: Used to track medications, vaccinations, preventatives (heartworm, flea, etc.),as well as untitle pages to track other items of your choice. The next section (Orange colored pages) is used to document your pet's diet, special feeding instructions, observations, recipes, etc. According to the contents there are 20 of these pages. The white section (40 records) is used to document vet visits, dental, chiropractic care, etc. There is even a section at the bottom of each page to track the items that you have turned in on your pet insurance, so you know what you filed, when you filed it, and what it cost. The final blue section in the back is filled with 80 journal pages to document any other things that you might want to track.

I looked at other books, computer programs, and even thought of making my own record book after finding out that one of my dogs had another UTI and trying to figure out when she had her last infection and what medication was given to her. This is just what I was looking for. Those of you who are not animal fanatics will probably think a lot of this is crazy. However those of you who are devoted pet parents will understand why this book is so important and so helpful.

If you are thinking about using Fen-Phen to lose weight, I think you should read this book first. I found out some things that my doctor did not even know. It might even make you think twice before using this method to lose weight
