A Guide to Survivorship for Women with Ovarian Cancer (Johns Hopkins Press Health Book Series)

Author: Fredrick J Montz

This comprehensive guide to ovarian cancer offers a wealth of information to ease the physical, emotional, and psychic suffering of women with the disease. The authors -- two Johns Hopkins gynecologic oncologists and a gynecologic-oncology clinical nurse -- put particular emphasis on the concept of "survivorship," or living life well in the face of daunting uncertainties. They stress the importance of self-determination: the right of each patient to be informed, involved, and in control of her care.

Up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pain management, and alternative therapies, forms the core of the book. But the authors' immense clinical experience also means they understand what women worry about and care about, and they address these issues with true compassion. Stressing quality of life, self-determination, and living life to the fullest, this remarkable book speaks to women with ovarian cancer everywhere.

Library Journal

It is estimated that in 2005 alone, 16,000 American women will die from ovarian cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths among this demographic. If diagnosed and treated early-before the cancer spreads outside the ovary-it is a highly treatable disease. However, only 29 percent of cases are discovered at this early stage. Johns Hopkins gynecologic oncologists Montz and Bristow and clinical nurse Anastasia provide a thorough, up-to-date resource for women with ovarian cancer, offering information on diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, pain management, and alternative/complementary options. The overarching theme is survivorship, which means not just avoiding death but living life to its fullest in the face of major challenges. At the core of the authors' philosophy is the need for ovarian cancer patients to be well informed and in control of their own care. This important book should be included in all consumer health collections, as well as purchased by women affected by the disease.-Linda M.G. Katz, Drexel Univ.

Resistance Training: The Total Approach

Author: Lewis Bowling

In this exciting new book, Lewis Bowling, an instructor of physical education at North Carolina Central University, combines his experience as a personal trainer and physical fitness specialist with the current thinking about topics such as creatine use, machines versus barbells, and children's training to create a book that is both a practical how-to guide and a scholarly exploration of resistance training.

In addition to detailed pictures and descriptions of proper weight lifting techniques, Bowling has included chapters from two additional resistance training experts. Sonny Falcone, the strength and conditioning coach at Duke University, details parts of the regime used by Duke athletes such as power lifts, agility drills, speed training, and sport-specific exercises. He also discusses the differences between how athletes train and how those interested in health/fitness train. Dr. Terry Todd, a professor at the University of Texas and the leading authority on resistance training history, provides insights into its evolution from the ancient "physical culture" to what is now called the "physical fitness movement."

This book covers resistance training, exercise motivation, special population exercise programs, physiology, kinesiology, exercise prescription, and exercise safety. It will be useful to beginners looking to start an exercise program, experienced athletes, and all those in between.
