Based on sound science and the research of more than 300 nutritional experts worldwide, it is well organized and indexed, and will be a refreshingly clear reference for anyone who wants to know about nutrition and health (know anyone who doesn't?). One of the best books I've seen on the subject.

BEST BUY EVER.......2006-09-11

I boutht this book in 1997 and still use it and have it handy all the time! i'm always trying to keep up my healthy habits and maintain a balanced diet. this book is a must have! it is written wisely and very easy to understand. it is written in alphabetical order and you can look up almost every sickness, foods, vitamins and minerals, what is good for what, what are the drawbacks and where to find them. for sickness what it is, what should you eat, what to cut down, what to avoid. etc. if you are a person like me and like to know what you eat, you must own this book! by the way i'm ordering today a 2004 copy for my mother in law who has recovered from breast cancer and is so much into eating healthy.

EXCELLENT TOOL FOR RAISING HEALTHY KIDS.......2006-07-05

I HAVE OWNED THIS BOOK FOR OVER 5 YRS NOW. I USE IT REGULARLY TO LOOK OP NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES FOR THINGS THAT I EAT. I AM AN RN WITH HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND I JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW DIFFERENT FOODS PROMOTE HEATH OR WHAT COULD BE HARMFULL FOR ME. I ALSO USE IT TO TEACH MY KIDS WHAT THEY ARE CONSUMING. THEY ARE NOW MORE WILLING TO TRY ASPARGUS AFTER THE PROPERTIES ARE EXPLAINED TO THEM. I LET MY FRIEND WHO SURVIVED BREAST CANCER BORROW IT TO MODIFY HER EATING HABITS. WHAT AN EXCELLENT BOOK. IT STAYS IN MY KITCHEN.

Full of Good Information.......2006-03-13

A reminder that you really are what you eat. Great reference on foods and their nutritional value. Much of this information is now available online. But, if you prefer a hard copy for frequent reference this is a great book.

A Treasure Chest of Nutritional Information.......2005-01-23

This book is so easy to navigate and is literally packed with wonderful and useful information. Food are listed and discussed in alphabetical order.

You will want to fill your diet with the "good" and understand why some foods are "harmful." I like the way that nutrition is discussed pertaining to certain diseases and conditions such as cancer, hair & scalp problems, kidney disease etc.

The book is also a visual treat filled with color photographs and easy to read text & charts.

There are considerably fewer calories in Alice Medrich's latest book than in Cocolat, her first, award-winning cookbook. In Chocolate and the Art of Low-Fat Desserts, Medrich presents recipes that cut fat without compromising texture or flavor--a chocolate lover's dream come true. With offerings like Black Bottom Bananas Napoleons (made with chocolate custard) or Double Chocolate Layer Cake (with less than a third of its calories from fat), Medrich proves that wonderfully indulgent treats don't have to add to your waistline. The book won the 1995 James Beard Cookbook Award.

Customer Reviews:

Ho-Hum.......2004-06-14

I have read all of Medrich's books so far-this being the last one. I know that this book has recieved accolades from the critics and fans alike, but I disagree.
For one thing, with the word chocolate highlighted in bold print in the title, it would seem to suggest that the book is primarily about chocolate; (the author writes books about chocolate after all), but half of the recipes in this work are not made with chocolate at all.
As I have written in other reviews of her books, the self-congratulatory text in her books are tiresome and it is evident in this one as well...when you look at the paragraphs in her introduction, it seems every third one starts with "I" and then follows with something like "my stuff was so fantastic..everyone was amazed!" You know, there is such a thing as humility, but it is certaintly not evident in these books. I prefer cookbooks with a forward written by someone else; a person with "know-how" to stand up for the author-to show examples why the author should earn our respect..this is what feels comfortable to me as a reader.
Also, the photos were not as good as shown in her other works and I had expected the same quality and consistancy, so this was a disappointment.
The techno-culinary babblings (informational writing) got pretty stale too, although some other readers may like this. Obviously the critics did...this book recieved an award.
Personally, I don't think this is her best work.I have seen several authors offer excellent low-fat recipes for desserts (Steven Raichlin is a good example) so the fact that Medrich has a few recipes that work here is not really that noteworthy. I know this review reads like I am a sourpuss but rest assured, most of my other reviews are not as harsh as this. It is only one opinion-mine.

An ingenious cookbook.......2004-03-26

I have yet to make something in this book that isn't delicious. So far, I've made the marble cake, brownies, tiramisu, chocolate chip biscotti (mmm, tasted just like a real cookie!), and chocolate souffle torte. Everything is easy, clearly explained, and RICH. Like another reviewer said, these are great recipes that happen to be low-fat. And there's no gimmicks, like "Oh, just substitute half the fat with apple sauce." Medrich teaches you how to maximize the flavor of your full-fat ingredients so you use less but taste more. I am so sad this book is no longer in print. If I lost my copy, I would die!

BTW, everyone thinks I'm a kitchen god. It's not me; it's the book!

requires lots of equipment; not veggie-friendly.......2003-06-20

This is an elegant, sumptuously produced book - if you're the type who reads cookbooks in bed, you'll love it. I've tried some of the simpler recipes and found that things turn out exactly as promised.

Be warned, though - you'll need a good assortment of baking pans, spatulas and bowls and an instant-read thermometer to make most of these recipes. Secondly, vegetarians look out - all but one of Medrich's mousse recipes (the foundations on which 3/4 of these desserts are based) contain gelatin, so you should be prepared to experiment with agar-agar or another setting agent. Also, Medrich loves herself *a lot* - her lavish self-praise can be annoying.

Having said that, this is a great manual for lower-fat desserts. Medrich is an able teacher who wants you not only to make her recipes but learn the principles for developing your own.

Sigh.......2003-05-19

I am left to slobber and drool uncontrollably and often wonder aloud how heaven could improve on this magnificent art form. I fully suspect St. Peter and all the rest dine regularly on a menu culminating in these wondrous desserts. Now, this is what a low-fat, antioxidant is supposed to taste like. Sigh. . .

Simply Wonderful!.......2001-10-26

Clearly Ms Medrich has turned creating low fat, high flavor desserts into an art form! Many low fat recipes taste low fat, but not the ones in this book. It is comprehensive and included is everything from easy cookie recipes to stunning dressy desserts. Make sure to try Michael's Brownies, they are simply addictive!

The book is visually stunning, and also includes detailed information on ingredients and techniques which makes this into a real cooking reference. The book is well researched and one of my favorite subject books.

Customer Reviews:

Great reference, newest information.......2002-02-05

This book is a must for any pet owner. I have an extensive collection of pet health books, and most of them do not contain the new, state-of-the-art medical and technological options that this one does. In addition to the newest information available, the book is inspiring for any pet owner facing illness, as various treatment options are easily explained in detail. It is also a terrific book to review before a veterinary visit so appropriate issues and questions can be addressed.

Invaluable Resource!.......2002-01-26

Amy D. Shojai is the author of 16 pet books, and a nationally known writer of pet care and behavior topics. In Shojai's latest book, PET CARE IN THE NEW CENTURY, [she] interviewed nearly 100 experts ... including members of the ACVS, ACVIM, and other speciality colleges. Never before has the veterinary profession been able to offer such amazing medical treatments and such a high level of preventative care. "I am amazed that a person can create a book that covers all aspects of modern veterinary care," says Robert A. Taylor, DVM, ACVS. "This book will prove to be an invaluable resource to companion animal lovers, students and the profession."
---ACVIM SPECIALIST QUARTERLY, August 2001, Newsletter of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine

100 Veterinary Specialists Featured.......2002-01-26

Shojai interviewed nearly 100 experts for the 315-page book, including many members of American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM), and other speciality colleges. Chapters discuss how modern medicine builds on past success; the way veterinarins are trained; advances in diagnostic tools, medications and surgery; how research studies work; and what questions to ask and where to find specialists (or research trials) to meet the needs of your dog or cat. An A-to-Z guide of a wide range of conditions is listed. The book also includes inspirational true stories of dogs and cats that have benefited from today's most innovative treatments.
---ACVS Newsletter, Summer 2001

Worthwhile for Pet Lovers.......2002-01-24

Here is an up-to-date reference book covering modern veterinary care. More than a hundred veterinarians, among them quite a few from Penn, explain many health and behavior conditions, arranged alphabetically . . . The appendix lists veterinary colleges in the United States and their websites. A specialist has completed additional training and is a "Diplomate" of a veterinary specialty college. The appendix gives contact information. The human-animal bond brings up ethical questions, which are thoughtfully covered. . . The difficult subject of genetics is briefly covered. This book covers many advances in veterinary medicine and shows you how to take advantage of them. It's a worthwhile addition to the library of dog and cat owners.
---Bellwether "Animal Crackers" Book Review, publication of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine

Cutting-Edge Success.......2002-01-24

[Shojai's] new work features the latest medical advances for cats and dogs. It also includes true stories of miraculous recoveries from pet lovers. Success stories in the book include: a two-pound pooch that's saved her owner's life nine times; Ronald McDonald house for pets; kidney transplants, cancer cures, open heart surgeries, dramatic arthritic treatments, behavioral help and paralysis cures using lasers. Also included in the book is an easy-to-use A-to-Z reference for specific health and behavior problems and frank dicussions on ethical issues such as how much to spend, cloning pets, organ donors and other areas.

Customer Reviews:

A great follow up to Before the Change.......1999-02-18

I have become a real fan of Ann Louise Gittleman's work. I first learned of her through her book Before the Change and picked this one up shortly thereafter. A great follow up because Super Nutrition for Menopause deals with concerns of the older woman like diabetes and osteoporosis. I think this book would make a good Mother's Day or Birthday Gift because it is a gift of health.

Offers a safer, more natural approach to managing menopause.......1998-11-30

This easy to read and user friendly book is a wealth of helpful information especially for those of us making this next transition in life. The book explains in understandable terms what menopause is, what its most common symptoms are, and the different ways it may be experienced.

Especially helpful was the recommended Vitamin E dosage and the natural progesterone cream which greatly helps hot flashes. Thank you Ann Louise Gittleman for another outstanding and timely book!

See the Soul of an extraordinary Architect.......2005-11-26

I saw Glenn Murcutt speak at USGBC's GREENbuild 2004 conference. He absolutely lit hearts on fire with his passion for his craft. This book is a GEM and it the lucky person who finds this treasure!

Sincere Comments About Architecture from the Master.......2003-09-11

'Touch This Earth Lightly' is a compilation of Murcutt's various comments about certain aspects of his own architecture and architecture in general. Murcutt, who is a minimalist dealing with mostly house projects in coastal Australia, is one of the very few people who respond to nature this friendly. His designs encompass very economic use of resources, in addition to great integration with nature.
He responds to the structure in nature, and not the beauty in it. His shapes are defined to this respect. He thinks that there are no styles in architecture, but rather there are only ideas beneath designs. Read his book, and you'll learn a lot more his ideas. Well written, well illustrated, and well edited...

Touch this Earth Lightly.......2000-10-19

There are no books in architecture that are this sincere, candid, and honest. Glenn Murcutt's words through his interviews with Philip Drew are expressive and quite refreshing. In his own words, he explains how, where, and most importantly why he has developed his worldview. In the world of overenphasized aesthetics, Murcutt expresses his design philosophies in a more down to earth vocabulary and design. His upbringing in PNG, his parenting, and all of the experiences that he has had (traveling in Europe and around the World) has lead to his unique point of view of architecture and the world.

This is a great book to read. It is very easy to read, and it emphasizes the things that are truly important in life.

Book Description

These diaries, covering the decade following the death of her husband, chart the course of Lady Gregory's gradual but remarkable remaking of her life. The rich account these pages give of Lady Gregory's life in the 1890s and of her deepening friendship with and patronage of Yeats radically
changes the existing image of her evolution as an Irish writer and Nationalist and of the early years of the Irish Literary Theatre. As the only day-to-day record kept by a major figure in the Irish literary movement, these diaries provide a revealing and frequently corrective counterweight to the
narratives of these times written years later by Yeats, Moore, Lady Gregory herself, and others.
