Cancer Fitness or Mother Natures Herbal

Cancer Fitness

Author: Anna L Schwartz

Increase your survival odds by creating and following an exercise program that counteracts the side effects of your treatment, speeds your recovery, and reduces your risk of recurrence.

Most cancer patients and survivors think that "rest" will decrease their fatigue and speed their recovery. But in fact, rest can make patients weak and debilitated during treatment and may prolong hospitalization. Based on Dr. Anna Schwartz's research and her life's work as a nurse and a coach, Cancer Fitness offers cancer patients and survivors comprehensive advice and an easy step-by-step program to begin improving their physical and emotional health and reclaiming their lives beyond cancer.

Through exercise, patients will regain some control over their body, manage side effects more successfully, and increase their body's ability to heal. Cancer Fitness provides clear directions to safely start an exercise program, and the tools to make exercise a long-lasting lifestyle change to heal body and soul.

Library Journal

Cancer survivor and record-holding bicyclist Schwartz (nursing, Univ. of Washington) has written an informative guide that details the physical and mental benefits of exercise before, during, and after cancer. Following a review of the science behind her book (including selected references), she clearly and concisely explains how and when to start exercising and presents examples of safe and effective aerobic and strength-building exercises designed for both men and women, young and old. She also emphasizes the long-term benefits of continued exercise, discusses managing recurrent cancer and the side effects of treatment, and explains clinical trials. Including a foreword by Lance Armstrong, this unique guide is highly recommended for all public, consumer health, and nursing collections.-Howard Fuller, Stanford Health Lib., Palo Alto, CA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Fashions in Hair: The First Five Thousand Years

Author: Richard Corson

First published in the 1960s and subsequently updated to the present day, this unique book remains the only comprehensive historical survey of men's and women's hair styles through the ages. Profusely illustrated, it ranges from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Anglo-Saxon times to recent fashions and provides an absorbing record of changing attitudes and tastes.

Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the book are the thousands of drawings by author Richard Corson, illustrating the heads of monarchs, politicians, writers, artists and celebrities who set trends in hair fashion. He also includes a number of rare period prints and drawings.

This authoritative text surveys in detail the styles of each century, analysing trends within their social context. Quoting from contemporary writings, the book describes methods for the construction of the elaborate and intricate hair styles that have periodically been in vogue, using frames, padding, false culs, wigs and ornaments. The text pays equal attention to the great variety of men's styles and provides a full account of the wigs, moustaches and beards that men have worn. It also traces the development of the hairdressing industry and its techniques and describes the lives of the chief creators of fashion.

Fashions in Hair is an essential reference work for historians of fashion, theatrical designers, hair stylists, illustrators and anyone interested in the changing fashions in hair. This new edition, with a supplement by fashion historian Caroline Cox, brings the story right up to date.
