Blake Taylor's mother first suspected he had ADHD when he, at only three years of age, tried to push his infant sister and her car seat off the kitchen table. As time went by, Blake developed a reputation for being unpredictable and impulsive.

When we reach our forties, something changes. Suddenly nothing - hair, skin, body shape - looks quite the way it used to. And it's a myth to think that by using Botox, working out religiously and wearing skinny jeans you're going to fool people into thinking you're thirty. Nothing can stop the ageing process. But that doesn't mean that you have to start wearing a twin set, cutting your hair and donning sensible shoes. You can find a new kind of beauty and a new way of being confident - why shouldn't forty, fifty or sixty be as beautiful as twenty or thirty in a different way? Twiggy is as beautiful in her fifties as she was in her twenties, and has maintained her style and fabulousness without the aid of any plastic surgery. Women everywhere look at her as a role model and think 'Maybe I can look like that'. And now, with this practical guide containing hundreds of tips, you can...

A History of the 'Unfortunate Experiment' at National Women's Hospital order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: Linda Bryder
In Stock: 1
In the late 1980s, a national outcry followed the publication of Sandra Coney and Phillida Bunkle's 'Unfortunate Experiment' article in Metro magazine about the treatment of carcinoma in situ at National Women's Hospital.
The article prompted a commission of inquiry led by Judge Silvia Cartwright (now Dame Silvia Cartwright), which indicted the practices of doctors at the hospital and led to lawsuits, censure, a national screening programme and a revolution in doctor-patient relations in New Zealand.
In this carefully researched book, medical historian Dr Linda Bryder provides a detailed analysis of the treatment of carcinoma in situ at National Women's since the 1950s, an assessment of international medical practice and a history of the women's health movement.
She tackles a number of key questions. Was treatment at National Women's an 'unfortunate experiment'? Was it out of line with international norms? Did Herb Green ... more

Author: Jo Revill

In this timely book, Jo Revill explores the nature of allergies, why they are on the rise, and what we can do about it. The first chapters explain what an allergy is, helping you to understand your body's response to allergens. Jo also discusses the most credible theories about why allergies are on the increase - is high pollution, an obsession with hygiene and exposure to chemicals the reason behind our allergies, which is an affliction that rises with a nation's prosperity (before the Berlin Wall came down, Eastern Germany had very low allergy rates, post-unification, they rose to Western levels). The book will take in the latest scientific information about hypersensitivity, and will also look at the 'dirt theory' - the idea that a lack of exposure to dirt and germs at a young age leaves you more at risk of allergies later on in life. The second part of the book discusses the various allergies, from the common to the very rare ... more

Paperback
Author: Christine Craggs-Hinton
In Stock: 1
Hearing loss is an all too common cause of emotional turmoil, and is on the increase, affecting people at ever younger ages. One study showed that 60 per cent of freshmen entering a U.S. university were found to have hearing loss. Communication is a large part of what the human being is all about, but the inability to hear and communicate effectively often leads to stress, low mood, reduced confidence, decreased self-esteem and feelings of isolation. Hearing loss can also be accompanied by problems such as headaches, dizziness, nausea and tinnitus. In "Coping with Hearing Loss", Christine Craggs-Hinton discusses: causes of hearing problems; practical strategies for more effective communication; hearing aids and audiology equipment, including cochlea implants; hearing therapy, including detailed speechreading exercises; tinnitus, why it occurs and how to reduce it; and, complementary therapies.

Easeful Death : Is there a case for assisted dying? order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Mary Warnock & Elizabeth Macdonald

Easeful Death sets out in straightforward terms the main arguments both for and against the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia. The legal choices confronting those caring for the terminally ill, and indeed those patients themselves who may be facing intolerable suffering towards the end of their lives, have been the cause of fierce public debate in recent years. The book takes as its starting point attempts in Britain and other countries to bring compassion into the rules governing the end of a patient's life. Drawing on experience in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the US state of Oregon, where either assisted dying or euthanasia have been legalized, the authors explore the philosophical and ethical views on both sides of the debate, and examine how different legislative proposals would affect different members of society, from the very young to the very old. They describe the practical, medical processes of palliative ... more

Anne Kreamer thought she was a youthful 49 until she saw a photo taken with her teenage daughter that stopped her in her tracks. In one moment she saw herself for what she really was - a middle-aged woman with her hair dyed much too harshly. Kreamer realised that she wasn't fooling anyone about her age and decided it was time to get real.

She set out for herself a program to let her hair become its true color, and to discover her true self. GOING GRAY is an exploration of that experience and a frank, warm, and funny investigation of aging. Th rough interviews and experiments, Kreamer probes the issues behind two of the biggest fears mature women face: Can I be sexually attractive as a gray-haired, middle-aged woman? and Will I be discriminated against in the work world? Her answers are surprising and provocative.

This riveting peak behind the changing room door of a beauty-obsessed culture reveals what women really think about their bodies. Typically dressed in no more than a towel, Leslie spent five years interviewing women of all ages, shapes and sizes about what goes into shaping not just their bodies but their body image: the result is a hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, all-too-revealing testament that we women are our own worst critics - and our self-criticisms are highlighted under the changing room's fluorescent lights. Through deliciously confiding stories from women of all shapes and sizes (coupled with advice from the experts), Leslie takes readers on a journey of women's obsessions with our bodies, both good and bad. From compulsive workouts to relaxing saunas, from bikini waxing to dates with the scales, she confirms that society's pressures to look beautiful and be scarily thin, are writ small in our health clubs. But she also ... more

Heart attacks and strokes kill 40% of people in Western countries, making cardiovascular disease the leading cause of death.

The implications of this momentous idea were summarised by Professor Richard Smith, former editor of the British Medical Journal, who said that the polypill approach 'would have greater impact on the prevention of disease in the Western world than any other single intervention'. Yet, six years since it was first proposed, the polypill is still not available ...and may never be. In Miracle Pill, Dr Holt descrives the polypill's benefits, the controversry surrounding its concept, and why ... more
