Responding
to the increasing interest in the effects of chemicals
in the myriad products used every day, nontoxic-living
advocate Dadd offers a combined revised and expanded
edition of two of her titles, published in the mid-1980s
as Nontoxic & Natural (LJ 2/1/85) and The Nontoxic
Home (LJ 11/1/86) and updated later as Nontoxic, Natural
& Earthwise (Tarcher, 1990) and The Nontoxic Home
& Office (Tarcher, 1992), respectively. This listing
of toxic materials and how to avoid them uses the manufacturers'
warnings and mostly resists sensationalism. Dadd's suggestions
are reasonable and not too difficult to accomplish.

Thin-but-fit
supermodels like Amber Valletta and actresses like Ally
McBeal's Courtney Thorne-Smith swear by Pilates workouts
to keep their figures toned and flexible. The Pilates
Body is the latest of books dedicated to this fitness
program, which is now soaring in popularity nearly 100
years after it was first developed by Joseph Pilates in
Germany in the early 1900s. While today's Pilates studios
take advantage of patented and intimidating-looking equipment
that costs thousands of dollars (and therefore charge
accordingly for private sessions), each exercise in The
Pilates Body can be performed with just an exercise mat.

Nationally syndicated columnist Carper proposes that aging
is a disease process that is correctable, preventable,
and reversible. This premise, which is supported by current,
nationally acclaimed biomolecular research, is based on
the free-radical theory of aging. After discussing the
biological mystery of aging in terms of free radicals
and antioxidants, Carper formulates an "attack plan"
that emphasizes the importance of vitamins, minerals,
and appropriate foods. Accurate facts regarding the major
vitamins and minerals are stated, with leading researchers

they take daily.

As one of the most accurate historical texts available
to man, this book is a must read. According to historians
a large percentage of our modern-day history books were
derived from these ancient manuscripts. Hollywood TV
and film dramas have nothing on the true stories in this
book. Some of the stories are so mind-boggling you
won't even believe them--yet they are true according to
historians. If you love history, geography and poetry,
you're missing out not to read this ancient treasure.
After you read it, all of world history and current events
will start to make sense to you--it's like the lights
get turned on. Though this book has been translated
from the ancient manuscripts of Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek,
scholars and international translation committees have
worked painstakenly making sure the syntax, thought patterns,
lexical and grammatical details are as accurate as possible.
If you find the Old King James version (old English language--Shakspearian
style) too hard to read, you can get a modern-day English
version as well. An added benefit: It says
in Revelation 1:3 that if you read the Book of Revelations
you will be blessed. Good reading--be blessed!

The book purports to "take a holistic approach"
to walking and running "that encompasses our physical,
mental and spiritual dimensions." Most of its 200-plus
pages are studded with comments such as these: "If
you run first thing in the morning, do not eat until after
you finish your workout." Or, "Remember that
the primary purpose of food is to supply energy."
And, "If your socks become thin or worn out, they
may create blisters or fail to help absorb the shock."
Moreover, "All runners need shoes with the proper
width and sufficient toe room to prevent rubbing and other
irritations." |

Our children are overfed and undernourished. Even
if they are not living on pizza and ice cream, they may
be eating foods that can have serious long-term effects
on their health. An ever-growing body of research is revealing
that the major diseases Americans suffer and die from
are lifestyle related and to an extent preventable in
that some of the root causes begin in childhood. Many
cases of childhood imbalances, such as obesity, hyperactivity,
dental problems, and learning disabilities can be aggravated
by poor eating habits. Shelly Null has written a comprehensive
guide to feeding children better, from the crib to young
adulthood, without sacrificing flavor or fun.

James Peterson's Vegetables is an encyclopedic
yet easy-to-read guide to preparing everything from artichokes
and beet greens to plantains and watercress. It contains
more than 300 enticing recipes, many which use just three
or four ingredients.This is a book about vegetables, but
not a vegetarian cook book. To deliver appealingly intense
flavors, Peterson uses chicken broth, anchovies, prosciutto,
or bacon. He also does not skimp on cream or butter when
he feels it is right for a dish. Peterson starts with
information on buying, storing, and using 64 vegetables.
Photos illustrate how to trim fennel, clean and julienne
leeks and perform other commonly used techniques. He also
provides helpful information along with the recipes, like
suggesting that you buy roasted, not raw cashews because
they are less likely to be rancid.
