Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Very Good (+) Jacket. First Edition. Solid binding with clean, unmarked text. Jacket with few micro tears. We knew it all along, but now here's proof--women are different! Healthy Women, Healthy Lives is the first book to be based on the now-famous 30-year study of thousands of nurses. Researchers from Harvard Medical School have assembled a straightforward medical guide focusing on the major preventable diseases that women are susceptible to, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis. The advice here is not particularly earthshattering. Eating grains and vegetables will make us healthier, as will exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. It's the level of practical detail in each chapter on disease that stands out; after reading this, you'll have a full understanding of how to balance your behaviors and unpreventable risks to achieve optimum health. Best of all, every detail is woman-specific, from healthy weights to average age of first heart attack.After providing ways for reading statistical charts and background on the study, the book is divided into two parts. The first 10 chapters are devoted to individual diseases, your possible risks, and ways to reduce those risks. Each chapter ends with a no-nonsense article written by a doctor, based on the study, that summarizes the advice that doctor gives to his or her own patients. The last chapters offer advice on changing behaviors. Here, you'll find suggestions on improving activity levels and diet modification, as well as the risks and benefits of aspirin, alcohol, and vitamins.If you're tired of the daily news reports with their conflicting evidence and suggestions, treat yourself to a book that delivers practical information, useful statistics, and advice that actually makes sense. --Jill Lightner 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record.In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast. …
