Taking Charge of Your Fertility, 10th Anniversary Edition: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health Review

I honestly thought that just being a woman ~ I knew all I needed to know to get pregnant.I am 35 now and ready to have a baby, so I stopped taking the pill and waited 2 cycles and thought all I had to do was plan our night of fun close to Ovulation "Day 14".Was I ever wrong!!
After trying unsuccessfully on my own for 5 months, I started to question my fertility.I purchased ovulation test strips and they wouldn't show a peak ovulation.I found others online who were trying to conceive and recommended this book.Once I received the book, I couldn't put it down!I was amazed at what little information I actually knew about my cycle ~ my own body and what it had been telling me all along.I just didn't understand it.
I learned not everyone ovulates on "Day 14", for me it is actually "Day 23".I assumed I wasn't ovulating and got frustrated at day 20-21 and would stop testing.I now know to look for signals to show when I'm ovulating and now test in the correct window.
By reading this book I now have a clear understanding of my cycle.At my age, I want to have a baby sooner than later, so I plan on taking a more aggressive approach to my fertilization.I talked with my doctor after 6 months, rather than 1 year.With the help of this book and charting, I was able to explain my cycle and show my doctor all my charts.I was able to provide all the information needed to show I have a short luteal phase.By providing this information to the doctor, we will be able to treat the ovulation problem that much quicker.My doctor commented that I was extremely organized and it really helped things along.
This book is very easy to read and understand.You will be able to clearly read your own body signals during your cycle, and have a better understanding of your fertilization ~ whether you want to become pregnant - or not.
I will share this book with other women and would recommend it for every woman!

The Choice Effect: Love and Commitment in an Age of Too Many Options Review

The Choice Effect is a wonderfully written book by three mid-twenties Stanford grads who all met freshman year and have managed to both keep their friendships in tact and travel the world together after college.They hilariously explore the dilemma that post-college/pre-marriage women find themselves in:when you've been told "the world is your oyster," how do you choose which of the thousands of paths in front of you to take!?They talk men, they talk careers, they talk family, they talk friendship, they talk self-reflection - in 200 pages, they cleverly cover it all, and they do so with insight, intelligence, research, and wit.McGibbon, Vogel and Williams are clearly on to something - it's about time we had a book that covered the modern-day dilemma we've often found ourselves in.I loved it from cover to cover!

Product Description:
Love choices but hate choosing? Welcome to the club. The Choice Effect is for young women who have all the opportunities in the world and no idea how to decide among them. It's one thing to have lots of options when it comes to fulfilling careers or traveling the world--but what does it mean for our love lives? How can you know whether you're with the right person--or if the time is right--when you haven't vetted the other possibilities? With hard-won insight, plus interviews with a whole host of other women who are living it, the twentysomething friends and authors of The Choice Effect explain why their generation is sidestepping traditional timelines. They look at the question of choice in the twenty-first century as they give voice to their generation's dilemma: How do you choose when you've been taught you can have it all?

The Color of Water 10th Anniversary Edition Review

This book is, indeed, a tribute to the author's mother. In it, the author, a man whose mother was white and his father black, tells two stories: that of his mother and his own. Tautly written in spare, clear prose, it is a wonderful story of a bi-racial family who succeeded and achieved the American dream, despite the societal obstacles placed in its way.

The author's mother was a Polish Orthodox Jew who migrated to America at the age of two with her family during the early nineteen twenties. They ultimately settled down in Virginia, where she led an isolated and lonely life; shunned by whites because she was Jewish and shunned by blacks because she was white. She was raised in a predominantly black neighborhood, where her father, a despicable and harsh man who brutalized his handicapped wife, ran a local grocery store, where he priced gouged his black clientele.

She left home and moved to New York when she was nineteen and never looked back. She met and married the author's father, a black man, when mixed race marriages were still frowned upon by both whites and blacks. Still, she always felt more comfortable around blacks than around whites. When he died sixteen years later, she married another black man who nurtured her eight children by the author's father and proceeded to give her four more children.

The author tells of his childhood, of his family, and of the issue of race that ultimately colored his life while growing up in predominantly black neighborhoods, where his mother stood out like a sore thumb because of the color of her skin. It was always an issue his mother avoided discussing with him, as for her it was not an issue. It was not until the author wrote this book that his mother discussed the issue of race within the context of her own life. From this dialogue emerges a fascinating look at the issues of race, as well as religion, and how it impacts on an individual's identity within our race conscious society.

It is also a very personal story. While the author's family was economically disadvantaged, his eccentric and independent mother always stressed education. She was a strict disciplinarian who brooked no nonsense from her twelve children. A convert to Christianity through her first husband, with whom she founded a Baptist church, she provided her children with the will to succeed. Consequently, all twelve eventually went to college and did her proud. The story of this unique family is told from two distinct, parallel perspectives: that of the author and that of his mother. While both are interesting, it is his mother's story that dominates this beautifully written book, which is, indeed, a tribute to her. It is truly a story told from the heart, as the love that the author has for his mother is evident with every written word.

The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy, 2010) Review

Sanford guides had been given out for free in the past. The charge for the "book" in 2000 was about half of the 2010 price. The Sanford website charges 36% of the book's purchase price for postage - outrageous! Amazon had free postage. The pamphlet book is slightly larger than previous editions. I would like the book to be slighly larger for better reading but still pocket size.

The book's style has not really changed over the years and presents up to date info on the current antibiotics needed for infectious diseases.

The abbreviations used for antibiotics to save space should be eliminated and should be spelled out.With a slighly larger book size and better type set this would be possible.
