Breast Cancer Prevention Plan: 20 Proven Steps for Reducing Your Breast Cancer Risk
Author: Edward J Conley
A breakthrough 20-step program that reducesbreast cancer risk and gives you thelatest information on new therapies
Written by the host of the PBS special ”ReducingYour Breast Cancer Risk,” this book outlinesthe 20 proven steps women can take to significantlylower breast cancer risk, and shatters generally-acceptedmyths about breast cancer and hormonereplacement therapy. With information on supplementsthat can bolster your breast cancer suppression genes,antioxidants that can protect breasts from damage, andhousehold chemicals that silently increase risk, TheBreast Cancer Prevention Plan is essential reading.
Edward Conley, M.D., is an assistant clinical professor of medicine at Michigan State University and an affiliate physician of the Cleveland Clinic. He is the author of America Exhausted and host of the PBS special "10 Secrets to Reducing Your Breast Cancer Risk," airing on 100 stations in the United States and Canada.

Conley, assistant clinical professor of medicine at Michigan State University, reveals "secrets" that may "lower your breast cancer risk by 90% or more." He discusses estrogen and its role in the disease as well as nutrients and antitoxins. Though most of Conley's suggestions-e.g., get more rest, eat more fruits and vegetables-certainly can't hurt, the secretive nature and tone of the presentation are off-putting. For inclusive collections. Surgeon Horner considers natural foods and relaxation as a means for women "to influence [their] state of health more than [they] ever imagined." Thinking organic and avoiding toxins are basic to her approach for empowerment. Appropriate for alternative/complementary health collections. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications with Powerweb
Author: George A Brooks
Considered a standard in the field, this text integrates Bioenergetics into every chapter and provides a comprehensive survey of current data and research in exercise physiology. In-depth discussion of all areas of exercise physiology makes this text an invaluable resource for students in exercise science, kinesiology, sports medicine, human biodynamics, and physical education.

This multiauthored textbook is written at an advanced level. The authors integrate traditional and classical exercise physiology with more current approaches in cell and molecular biology. The focus is on human bioenergetics and attempts to describe muscle performance in terms of energy transduction at the cellular level. The authors, all distinguished professionals, describe this as a departure from existing texts in the field and as a contribution to the evolution of exercise biochemistry. This text is intended for graduate students. I am using it successfully for graduate courses such as Exercise Energy Metabolism and Energy Metabolism and Body Composition at Kent State University. The authors are eminently qualified and recognized for their expertise. For several decades they have been in the forefront of the exercise physiology profession. They do a good job providing readers with current information on the subject. A very broad scope of topics is covered to link physiological systems, metabolism, nutrition, and exercise performance. The text is very well organized and adequately referenced. Overall there are several strengths: in-depth technical discussions based on expertise and research experience, inclusion of the authors' original data and interpretation of the events within the broader discipline of biological science, and a sufficient number of recent as well as historical references. Chapters 5-10 are unique in depth and in presentation of innovative biochemical concepts, which are particularly useful in teaching. They are highly readable and immensely informative. This is an excellent addition to an already extensive list of teaching texts in traditional exercisephysiology. This text is well written and I would highly recommend it as a graduate text for exercise physiology/exercise biochemistry oriented students around the world. This book compares very favorably to other textbooks used for courses in exercise physiology. The design makes it superior to similar texts on the market. My graduate students respectfully describe it as a very solid and serious textbook. I have completed 30 years of teaching experience in the field of exercise biochemistry on both sides of Atlantic, including 20 years of teaching at Kyiv Institute of Physical Education in Ukraine. There I also served 19 years as the Chair of the Department of Exercise Biochemistry. Having the experience of writing three monographs on the biochemical adaptation to exercise and coauthoring the text ""Exercise Biochemistry,"" which has been a most usable textbook in the field in the former Soviet Union for more than a decade, I would state here that there is no other advanced book of such quality in the field of exercise physiology. I give this text the highest marks.

A text for an advanced undergraduate course, or reference for beginning graduate students, on the functioning of the body during exercise. The focus is on human bioenergetics and the description of performance in terms of energy transduction from cell to whole-body levels. This revised edition reflects the growth and expansion of the field since the first edition was published in 1984. The authors support their conclusions with original data sets, which are included. Also included are original figures, tables, and graphs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
