Are you doing everything you can to make sure your breasts are healthy? If this question gives you pause, you're not alone. Confusing media and conflicting advice surrounding breast health can make it challenging to know what's best. In the United States this year, more than 40,000 women will die from breast cancer. Dr. John G. West wants to help you avoid becoming part of that statistic through preventative methods and screenings. And for women who are diagnosed, Dr. West provides guidance and wisdom to make the best possible treatment decisions. For nearly 20 years, Dr. West has focused on giving his patients the best care possible when they show up for diagnosis or treatment. The question he gets most often from his patients is: "What would you tell me if I were your wife or daughter?" Prevent, Survive, Thrive: Every Woman's Guide to Optimal Breast Care is the answer. Drawing from the latest scientific findings in the field of breast care, Dr. West outlines the things most women don't know about screening, like when you should insist on an ultrasound instead of only relying on mammogram results or how to determine if you should get genetic testing—and what it can and cannot tell you about your cancer risk. He lets you know exactly what kind of pain is normal and what should be investigated further. Dr. West even offers lifestyle advice to help lower your risk factors; things as small as how often you exercise or where you carry your cell phone can have an impact on your future health. Prevent, Survive, Thrive provides clear, accurate guidelines for prevention and early detection—letting you take control of your health.
The family that once took to the skies and soared on butterfly hang gliders, now rollicks across the landscape in other conveyances -- from a broken-down van to the QE2, from a media-hyped "Love Train" to the Orient Express. Older now, but probably no wiser, Maralys Wills and her troupe find adventure lurking where no one else would think to look. Her writing career, as varied and offhanded as her travels, wanders down myriad paths, from romance novels to non-fiction to techno-thriller to memoirs. Yet Wills never fails to see the overlying humour that marks her life. And she never forgets her first and most essential role: "When you add up the total hours I have spent offering brilliant, unwanted advice to my offspring, you would have to know Im mostly a mother". In this sequel to "A Circus without Elephants", the family must again close ranks to cope with tragedy. But once more she and her large family learn that life indeed goes on -- with new members to love and new events that excite, entertain, and defy description.
Maralys Wills unwittingly becomes the ringmaster of an eight-sport family-- an exuberant troupe of five boys and a girl that discovers joy and laughter in offbeat creations like double-decker bicycles and primitive hang gliders. Thanks to the kids, she soars to 2,000 feet on a tandem hang glider, plays tennis with Dinah Shore, and appears on Family Feud. When tragedy strikes, she and her family must summon great reserves of humor and the courage to move on. "At its heart, A Circus Without Elephants is the story of its author, Maralys Wills, the bemused ringmaster, snapping her marshmallow whip over a bewildering array of characters her family. Her stories will make you smile, or laugh out loud, and yet there are times you will find a lump in your throat. You will be delighted by the circus, you will love the ringmaster. -E.

Hey, Turning Seventy is not so bad! Suddenly you discover better ways to exercise . . . you learn you can “eat out†, guilt-free . . . you see grandkids becoming your best friends . . . you find new ways to fire up your brain . . . you learn that travel, while different, can still be fun. To top it off, you realize EVERYBODY has trouble “getting things open†—so you might as well laugh about it.
