In the United States alone, 21 million women have noticeable alopecia (hair loss), while 40 percent of ALL women in the United States experience hair loss of some kind. Hair loss is a particularly common problem among peri- and postmenopausal women, but many types of medications prescribed to women for a range of medical conditions are also associated with hair loss. As the youngest group of baby boomers is now approaching menopause, women’s magazines are frequently addressing this issue as “thinning hair,” offering solutions that don’t really get to the “root” of the problem. At last, the first comprehensive and exhaustively researched book for women and hair loss is here! Women and Alopecia completely covers all aspects of the loss of scalp hair in women. It looks at abnormal conditions that cause hair to fall out and at conditions that prevent or discourage hair from growing in normal cycles. If you have noticeable hair loss, you may have normal hair follicles and abnormal cycles of hair growth, or you may have hair loss due to damaged hair follicles. This book will explain what’s going on, how to correct it, and how to conceal it. Written in language savvy women will understand and appreciate, Women and Alopecia is a must-have if you or someone you know is worrying about hair loss or thinning hair.

"I was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma on February 7, 2002, when my daughter was almost nine months old. I was devastated to hear the words you have cancer of the placenta. I sat there with this stupid grin on my face, holding back the tears.” And so began Tara Johnson’s frightening journey into the world of a rare gynecological cancer. Choriocarcinoma is so rare—some 1 in 40,000 pregnancies—many oncologists have never treated it, much less come across information about it that’s suitable for patients. After being dismissed for nearly four months with postpartum bleeding, Tara was finally properly diagnosed and her treatment began. The story she tells in this book is touching and personal. It includes intimate details about her battle with cancer—and with a medical system that ignored her symptoms while that cancer spread. The book is also a hands-on guide for patients dealing with the challenges and the life-threatening complications of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, or GTN. GTN is an umbrella term used to describe a group of disorders of the placenta. Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia: A Guide for Women Dealing with Tumors of the Placenta, such as Choriocarcinoma, Molar Pregnancy and Other Forms of GTN explains the medical questions and issues of GTN—its tests, treatment and risk factors—as well as the complex social and emotional aspects of a cancer diagnosis. It also contains a resource list designed to connect patients to support groups near their homes and online. Tara and Meredith are a unique team. While Tara became a choriocarcinoma expert through her own experience, diagnosis and treatment, Meredith's expertise in bioethics and medical research combines their skills, deftly weaving personal narrative with “harder” facts. The result is an incredibly compelling and informative read.

MENOPAUSE: WHY IT’S THE BIGGEST HEALTH RISK WOMEN FACE Ovaries are only needed for childbearing, right? Wrong! The truth is, the ovaries have many functions vital to a woman’s health, including an integral role in sexual satisfaction, quality of sleep, overall mood, and protection from breast cancer, colon cancer, and heart disease. When ovaries run out of eggs and fail, which is what happens at menopause, women’s bodies are left far more vulnerable to these diseases, with significantly reduced sexual function. The information needed to prevent or delay menopause for at least thirty years, thus improving our sex lives and overall health as we age, has been available, but no one’s told us about it. Until now. In her groundbreaking book, Preventing Menopause: Stopping Ovarian Failure Before It Starts, Beth Rosenshein explains how you can safely make menopause an optional phase of life. Working together with your doctor, and using the newest and most appropriate hormonal therapy, you can prolong ovarian function and maintain good health. Not only will this program provide birth control, but it will keep your sex drive alive too. One thing is for sure: this is not your mother’s Hormone Replacement Therapy! For more information go to www.preventingmenopause.com. PRAISE FOR PREVENTING MENOPAUSE “I hope women and their loved ones use the information in this book to help them make a reasoned, informed plan that will address what is happening to them in this often difficult time.” — Dr. Elena A. Christofides, Endocrinologist (from the Foreword) “Beth Rosenshein continues to work hard to further clarify the poorly understood area of ovarian function. Her tireless research raises excellent questions about the effectiveness of our current medical options. It is a big step forward toward addressing questions that will help us customize care in order to achieve better quality of life for women in the second half of their lives.” — Dr. Scott Eberly, Internal Medicine, Bellevue, WA “Preventing Menopause opens up several new doors in the exploration of women’s health. It offers women more choices in how they want to experience menopause. I highly recommend this book to those who are experiencing pre and menopausal related symptoms.” — Libby Yuskaitis, RN, BSN
