The San Francisco Chronicle called the first edition of Natural Menopause ”the most authoritative and wide-ranging explanation of the basics of menopause yet published.” Now in this newly revised edition, authors Susan Perry and Kate O'Hanlan include all the latest information on hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer, as well as new studies on menopause and osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer's, depression, exercise, diet and malnutrition, natural remedies, skin patches, and much more.Without minimizing the discomfort many women experience, Perry and O'Hanlan show that good nutrition, a good exercise program, and good sex are often the best prescriptionsand that hormone replacement therapy carries risks and should be taken only after careful and informed deliberation. Natural Menopause is the comprehensive reference every woman should turn to before and during menopause for a safe and healthy passage.

Imagine that you are the mother of a beautiful baby boy. Your bundle of joy was born perfectly healthy with ten little fingers and ten little toes. He smiles, walks and talks on time-right on track with his peers. You could not be happier.Now, imagine that your baby gets sick. He's suddenly sick every week with ear infections, bronchitis, vomiting, diarrhea, allergies, eczema, fevers and colds. Then, imagine that he stops talking. Imagine that he stops putting his hands out when he falls on the playground. He seems dizzy, distracted and disoriented most of the time. Imagine that he stops responding to his name or responding to you, his mother, at all.His doctor says he's fine, but you know better. You start asking around and reading and researching. You have your suspicions, but hope to God they are not true. Then finally, several months or even years later, you are given the devastating diagnosis of autism. And not only that, but you are then faced with some even more horrifying news.There is no cure for autism.This is what I was faced with during the first four years of my son's life. This is my story and the story of countless other families getting that same diagnosis every day with this growing worldwide epidemic. Sounds pretty grim, doesn't it?But, wait a minute. What is that?There's something flickering on the horizon. It's gaining momentum with its incredible strength and power. There may not be a cure for autism, yet, but there is definitely hope in the air. There are things you can do, today, to help your child. You just have to take one step and then another and then another.

With their tonsured heads, white faces, and striking cowls, the monkeys might vaguely resemble the Capuchin monks for whom they were named. How they act is something else entirely. They climb onto each other's shoulders four deep to frighten enemies. They test friendship by sticking their fingers up one another's noses. They often nurse--but sometimes kill--each other's offspring. They use sex as a means of communicating. And they negotiate a remarkably intricate network of alliances, simian politics, and social intrigue. Not monkish, perhaps, but as we see in this downright ethnographic account of the capuchins of Lomas Barbudal, their world is as complex, ritualistic, and structured as any society. 
 Manipulative Monkeys takes us into a Costa Rican forest teeming with simian drama, where since 1990 primatologists Susan Perry and Joseph H. Manson have followed the lives of four generations of capuchins. What the authors describe is behavior as entertaining--and occasionally as alarming--as it is recognizable: the competition and cooperation, the jockeying for position and status, the peaceful years under an alpha male devolving into bloody chaos, and the complex traditions passed from one generation to the next. Interspersed with their observations of the monkeys' lives are the authors' colorful tales of the challenges of tropical fieldwork--a mixture so rich that by the book's end we know what it is to be a wild capuchin monkey or a field primatologist. And we are left with a clear sense of the importance of these endangered monkeys for understanding human behavioral evolution.
