                  Download Description

                  Undetected intruders are lurking in your homes, creating havoc with our bodies' hormones and affecting our health, intelligence, fertility, and behavior. These "intruders" are hormone disruptors--chemicals from common foods and household items that masquerade as hormones--that can throw off the balance of our delicate signaling system. In Hormone Deception, Lindsey Berkson clearly explains where hormone disruptors come from and how they affect adults, children, and the unborn child. She also gives easy, practical tips for protecting home and family, such as vacuuming frequently and using water filters. She discusses the effects of common synthetic hormones such as birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, and fertility drugs.

                  4 out of 5 stars Practical and Accessible.......2007-06-25

                  I thought this book was interesting and easy to follow. Ms. Berkson, gives us the information and practical advice on how to avoid exposure to these psuedo-hormones that disrupt the body.

                  The print is an easy size to read.

                  5 out of 5 stars If we only knew..........2005-11-02

                  This is great book full of tons of info on endocrine disruptors, common household items and industrial/commercial as well. It's 400+ pages of invaluable info..eating organic isn't enough!
                  My only question- on page 208 she states the adrenals are below the kidneys, but I'm pretty sure they're on top, hence their alternate name, "suprarenal" glands.

                  5 out of 5 stars Empower yourself: learn about our surroundings!.......2000-10-25

                  This was a hard book to put down. Scientifically oriented, yet written in simple language for all of us "non-scientists" to understand, it's reader friendly. This book applies to our everyday life. We already know many things cause cancer and other diseases, but to finally have a book that tells us what THOSE things are, empowers us to make a change. We've heard our water might be contaminated, well Dr. Berkson will tell you why and what exactly is in it that makes it bad. We've heard to be cautious of dry-cleaning gas off, and she'll cover that, she talks about heating our food in plastic trays and plastic wrap in the microwave, dangers in baby toys, baby foods, our soda cans and cans in general. She talks from a hormone point of view: in parts per billion (which is like a pinch of salt in 10 tons of potatos, her words, not mine) when referring to the sensitivity of these hormones. She warns us of estrogenic invaders, androgenic invaders, hormone blockers and such, that are in our environment in the form of air, food, cleaning products, water pollution and how these interfere with our bodies. The best part: she tells us how to reduce our exposure, what we can do about it by just being aware.

                  Have kids? Expecting to have any? Want to live longer with less of a chance of getting cancer? READ THIS BOOK

                  5 out of 5 stars Hormone Deception.......2000-10-11

                  I read this book based on the recommendation of another parent in my young daughter's day care center. I found Hormone Deception just brimming with information regarding keeping ourselves and our families healthy. I was especially interested in how hormone disruptors impact our children and truly appreciated all the good advice on how to reduce exposure in the home. I never knew our homes were such potential health hazards! I heartily recommend this book to all moms concerned with keeping their families healthy. Lindsey Berkson has also developed a fantastic website full of related information and links to other bio-environmentally appropriate sites (same name as the book, hormonedeception.com).

                              This 1945 edition is the original volume of this classic work, which has been reissued many times since. This work is partly responsible for the resurgence of homecrafted weaving that has taken place since 1945. No important area has been omitted, and it comes with clear photos and diagrams. Simple terms make reading and following this material great for beginning weavers. The material is in logical sequence as one techniques or pattern naturally evolves from another.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Excellent Conversation Starter.......2001-11-27

                                          I found this book very useful for helping my daughter and I discuss what it means to be gifted. It brought up questions I wouldn't think to ask, and offered answers she could choose from when she had trouble identifying her feelings. If you want to learn how your child feels about being gifted, this is a terrific way to start the conversation.

                                          5 out of 5 stars A great book for gifted children and their families........1998-08-24

                                          We bought this book a number of years ago and to this day still read it. It not only helped my son to understand himself but also gave us more of an insight into his world. It also showed him that he was not the 'only one' or 'an alien from another planet'. This book more than any other is a must for all families of gifted children because it is presented from the children's point of view - an area that is rarely represented.

                                          I got this book when I was in Grade Four, and I was really feeling out at the time. I read this book and it really helped to find out that there were others in the same predicament that I was. Now, I'm enjoying school again. Also, whenever I need to, I reread the book just so I can see how others feel about various aspects of being gifted.

                                              To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the nation's founding, Israel's Defense Ministry assembled a special committee to pay tribute to 22 of its greatest soliders and secret agents.

                                              The biographical sketches in Lionhearts are written by several Israeli luminaries, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his predecessors Itzhak Shamir and Shimon Peres. Here you will learn of WWI spy Sarah Aharanson; Dov Cohen, who died in a 1947 assault by resistance fighters on a British prison; Marcelle Ninio, an Israeli spy who spent 14 years in Egyptian prisons; Colonel Yoni Netanyahu, the late brother of the prime minister, who was killed while leading the 1976 rescue operation at Entebbe. From turn-of-the-century efforts to establish a Jewish state to the current war against terrorism, Lionhearts presents a roster of valor and sacrifice toward the ultimate goal of stability and peace.

                                              5 out of 5 stars "TO GIVE WITHOUT ASKING ANYTHING IN RETURN".......2005-03-19

                                              This is the title of the final chapter written by former Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu about a young Israeli special forces member named Nir Poraz who, in Yoni Netanyahu style, tried to rescue a captive Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldier, Nachshon Waxman, held by Palestinian terrorists. He led the way of the Israeli forces and was killed along with Waxman in the operation on October 14, 1994. There are 52 similar chapters about Israeli's who did similar or just simply patriotic, brave acts on behalf of their nation written not only by Israeli statesmen but also citizens who had firsthand knowledge of their personages and travails. The book starts with Joseph Trumpeldor's story and death. He was an ardent, young Zionist born in Russia who fought in WWI and who died when militant arabs invaded Kibbutz Tel Hai in Upper Galilee.

                                              This book was written to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1998. It is divided into 7 chronological sections; each section summarizes the crises facing the nation during those time periods and gives a brief history of them. I couldn't make it through the introduction without a few shed tears, so be forewarned. Not all of the stories are so tragic, though most are. I felt many times like I was reading a chapter of Judges or Joshua except that I was transported 3000 plus years ahead. I always wondered what were the names of the 300 men that Gideon chose as fighters because their names are not given anywhere in scripture. To my mind also came the words from the faith chapter, chapter 11, in the book of Hebrews, in the christian bible. 'These all died in faith' and about Moses 'he refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter, choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of G-d than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin'. I'm sure there are many other brave souls whose stories are not told herein. For those unsung heroes, Isaiah inspired by G-d wrote 'Behold, I have indelibly imprinted you on the palm of each of My hands; O Zion, your walls are continually before Me' (49:16). I particularly enjoyed reading about Moshe Dayan, although he does not have an entire chapter written about him, but he is mentioned many times as in the chapter about his friend "Amos Yarkoni" who was a palestinian IDF fighter. You finish this book, you'll have to agree that Israel is also a 'land of the brave'.

                                              5 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of true heroes.......2003-05-12

                                              One trait is shared by all of the individuals in this book, heroism. From all walks of life, disparate viewpoints, and from remote places around the world they rose up above the self, striving for a greater good. From one-armed Joseph Trumpledor, Russian war hero and Jewish legend, to Mordechai Anielewicz, young leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, these shine like beacons of hope and courage in even the darkest moments. Janusz Korczak gave his life to be with Jewish children in Treblinka, marching to the gas chambers even though he had been begged by 'fellow Gentiles' to leave them to their fate. Eli Cohen, the brilliant spy who risked, and lost, his very life in service in Damascus. Yoni Netanyahu, the daring commando leader whose death was the sole fatality suffered by Israeli forces conducting the greatest hostage rescue ever, at Entebbe. Chaim Shturman, proponent of coexistence between Arabs and Jews until the end of his days, though it cost him his life. Hannah Senesh, who, after having escaped the horrors of the Holocaust chose to return to that nightmare, ultimately sacrificing her own life in a mission behind Nazi lines. Orde Wingate, whose brief experience in Israel during the Mandate led him to challenge his fellow British for the sake of a downtrodden people not his own. Abd El-Karim Abd El-Rani, who challenged an enormous terrosist who was stabbing an Israeli girl to death in Jaffa, regardless of his advanced age and the fact that he was fasting for Ramadan and weakened, dying for his heroism by her side. Shula Cohen rescued countless Jews from Syrian torture and death. These are but a sample of the heroes in this book. An inspiring and uplifting book for anyone who believes in something greater than mere self-preservation.
