Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Five new books on my bookshelf are: 1. C, Wood R & M (1999) Social Capital and Health Health Education Authority, London This is one in a series of research monographs published by the HEA (now Health Development Agency). It looks at the qualitative research about social capital and uses a couple of community development projects to shed light on how social capital and health interact. 2. Gomm R, Needham G & Bullman A (eds) (2000) Evaluating research in health and social care Open University/Sage Publications London Designed for practitioners, so they can read research in an informed way. Well balanced between experimental, survey and qualitative research; interesting examples include some of interest to community practitioners. 3. Elwyn G & Smail J (eds) (1999) Integrated teams in primary care Radcliffe Medical Press, Oxford Not many nurse contributers to this book, which is enthusiastic about developing a generic focus to nursing in primary care. I don't much like it, but another reviewer might, and you don't only have to review books that you are recommending! 4. Taket A & White L (2000) Partnership and participation: Decision making in the multi-disciplinary setting Wiley, Chichester One for people who are into heavy organisational theory, presented in a fairly pragmatic way. 5. Marmot M & Wilkinson R (eds) (1999) Social determinants of health Oxford University Press, Oxford Self-explanatory title; useful research background to the current policy shift towards acknowledging the epidemiological significance of social issues.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Two pocket-sized books that I would recommend for people at the very begining of their practice in the community (much too basic for experienced old hands): " Oxford Handbook of Patients' Welfare " by Adam Sandell, Publ. OUP, and " Early Socialisation " by Cara Flanagan, Publ. Routledge. Would these be worth reviewing?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 I can add to other's endorsements of Dinosaur Training. It's a wonderful for book for those who want to get bigger and stronger, but outstanding for those of us who, above all, enjoying lifting and hard work. For those of you who are also addicted to Olympic weightlifting, I cannot recommend Art Dreschler's Encyclopaedia of Weightlifting strongly enough. It's astoundingly comprehensive and absolutely outstanding on technique. You can get it with an equally excellent video companion to teach yourself the lifts without a coach - not ideal but very possible. Take a look at www.wlinfo.com Other books I can recommend: Pullum's Weightlifting Made Easy and Interesting (available from Bill Hinbern) for some of the old lifts, including the bent press and other one-handed lifts. Also from Bill: Arthur Saxon's The Development of Physical Strength and the book on Herman Goerner - two classics about (and in the former case by) old time strongmen and how they trained. Hackenschmidt's Way to Live is another old-time gem.

Right, but it's a pep talk; it's not a scientific text. At all. In fact, you might even characterize the Dinosaur Training camp as anti-science. > For those of you who are also addicted to Olympic weightlifting, I > cannot recommend Art Dreschler's Encyclopaedia of Weightlifting > strongly enough.

Take a look at www.wlinfo.com Although Dreschler's book is comprehensive, it is very, very dry and very, very verbose. It's almost the opposite of Dinosaur Training in that sense. > Other books I can recommend: Pullum's Weightlifting Made Easy and > Interesting (available from Bill Hinbern) for some of the old > lifts, including the bent press and other one-handed lifts.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Until recently I worked in a bookstore, and as soon as this book got some press, it started flying off the shelves. It's a hidden gem. Talks a good deal about how Europeans don't cut out food groups, but find a healthy diet (very much NT like previously mentioned) and then find it's not a big deal if they " splurge " on something less NT every now and then. It's startling to read the contrast between the way the Europeans eat and Americans eat especially if you've not experienced if first hand. Good to see books like this getting into the hands of the yet unknowing public. -Jenie > > Wanted to share a delightful book that I picked up recently- > French Women Don't Get Fat:The Secret of Eating for Pleasure > It is rather NT (as most of Europe is) and even briefly mentions raw milk!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Kath, Thanks for the pointer! I requested it at my library. Now let's see how long it actually takes to get around to me...96 people are ahead of me! Yikes! I will earmark some raspberry plants for you. I am sure there will be a few errant " volunteers " ! ;-) Take care, Sara Book Review Wanted to share a delightful book that I picked up recently- French Women Don't Get Fat:The Secret of Eating for Pleasure It is rather NT (as most of Europe is) and even briefly mentions raw milk! In general, it talks about eating quality, seasonal food. In specific, it speaks of mushrooms, fish, fruit, yogurt, and bittersweet chocolate among other things. It includes some good recipes as well! I think worth checking out at your public library if not for a purchase. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 When I put in a request for the book tonight, I was told there are 452 names ahead of me. But they said they have 52 copies in their system. Anyone want to take odds on how long it will be before a copy becomes available? Sara said >> I requested it at my library.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 The sidebar thing happens with Foxfire and one other browser. It's really annoying but I have a way around it. If you click on the little " post your comment " link at the lower right of each post, it will open it up in a new window with no sidebar. On 5/5/05, Aimee M.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 My husband and I are both on LDN. I purchased a book, Honest Medicine, by Schopick. She dedicates each chapter to a little known medication or medicine that is avoided by mainstream medicine, but helping many---ie LDN. One chapter is about Dr. Berkson in Arizona who treats patients of various illnesses with intravenous Alpha Lipoic Acid--with sometimes LDN. Does anyone on this forum know if a CFS patient has benefitted from Dr. Berson's protocal?? God Bless, Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
