Over 11,000 babies are delivered in the United States every day. Pregnancy, especially when going through it for the first time, can be overwhelming without the Unofficial Guide. Conflicting news reports, jargon-speaking doctors, and a lack of candid information on the nitty-gritty facts on what will happen over the next nine months can get the best of any Mom-to-be. Our author is a fourth-time Mom who's been through it all, and she is able to give expectant mothers the lowdown on choosing among the prenatal care options available; the truth about bodily changes from the perspective of someone who has first-hand experience; and the proper guidance through the maze of procedures, treatments, therapies, and medicines needed to help the reader find out what will work best for her without the wasted time, energy, and money. Thoughtful, authoritative, and unbiased, The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby covers: 
<ul>
<li>How to select an obstetrician: Key questions to ask when determining if a doctor is right</li> <li>How to deal with the normal roller-coaster ride of emotion: stress, anxiety, depression</li> <li>Sensible advice on eating for two and the lowdown on vitamin &amp; mineral supplements</li> <li>How to keep informed on risk factors: Cesarean sections, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and more</li> <li>Tips on what to try, what to steer clear of, and how to save time and money without compromising the health of the mother or child</li> </ul>

Terrible Honesty is the biography of a decade, a portrait of the soul of a generation - based on the lives and work of more than a hundred men and women. In a strikingly original interpretation that brings the Jazz Age to life in a wholly new way, Ann Douglas arugues that when, after World War I, the United States began to assume the economic and political leadership of the West, New York became the heart of a daring and accomplished historical transformation.

Body Talk: The Straight Facts on Fitness, Nutrition, and Feeling Great About Yourself! (Girl Zone)

A comprehensive guide for girls to look and feel great on their own terms  Body image concerns are no laughing matter, but Ann Douglas' upbeat and lighthearted new book makes this serious subject fun and approachable, with a "chat room" feel.  It's so easy to be pressured to conform to some crazy onesize-fits-all definition of beauty that many girls end up feeling bad about themselves and -- in some cases -- damaging their own physical and emotional health. Direct and frank, Ann Douglas' text arms readers with all the energy and information needed to help combat the onslaught of media images and messages and make their own wise decisions about their appearance and fitness. Artist Claudia Dávila brings the text vividly to life with her delightful, color-saturated illustrations.  Body Talk encourages readers to investigate all the things that are perfect about them -- just the way they are!  With the real facts about how their bodies are changing and really great tips on taking good care of themselves, body and soul, Body Talk has all the ingredients to help girls look and feel their very best inside and out. The "Resources" page lists websites and books for further information on this timely topic.  Body Talk is a Girl Zone book. Featuring girls' own voices in Girl Talk sidebars. The Girl Zone series is a joyful and diverse collection of books that explore topics of interest and importance to girls and young women.
