"The best guidelines book available. It is great for NPs of any specialty, as well as CNMs, PAs, and other health professionals caring for women. This book is concise and well organized making it extremely easy to find information quickly. It gives direct and clear information about gynecological care for women throughout the age span. I have used numerous editions of this book for years and it is my number one recommendation for NP students and experienced NPs looking for the best guidelines book on the market. To care for women a practitioner must understand the diversity and complexity of their lives and how these impact their wellness; this book does a remarkable job reflecting this."--Holly B. Fontenot, RNC, MS, WHNP, SANE, Clinical Instructor, William F. Connell School of Nursing, Boston College

Leftovers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have you ever felt alienated from the rest of the world? Have you spoken and known that nobody was listening? Have you ever screamed "No" and been ignored at every turn? Ardith and Blair have experienced all that and more. And now they have committed a despicable act of vengeance in an effort to make everything "right" again.
Blair and Ardith are best friends. They are fifteen, in the ninth grade, and have miserable, though very different, home lives.
Ardith lives in a party house. Her parents are nightly hosts to a group of drunken teenage boys. Without limits, the boys control the house and any female that dares to enter it. Not even Ardith is safe from their advances. Blair comes from an affluent family. Her parents are successful in their careers, have a new home, and are poised to rise through the local social and political ranks. Now her mother is making decisions to shape the family image; decisions that are wrenching Blair away from the those she loves most. In addition to their family problems, Blair and Ardith are now becoming victims of the school rumor mill and some very cruel classmates. How much can they be expected to tolerate?
LEFTOVERS is a dramatic and disturbing story of two girls who have been pushed to great lengths. It is written in alternating points of view, as each girl describes the events that led them to a final, desperate act. LEFTOVERS is a captivating book that will keep you turning the pages.

A girl who has no one to trust except the one person she's forbidden to see. You'll have to understand what it's really like to be forgotten and abandoned in America today.Are you ready?

Because It Feels Good: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I'm a man I couldn't help but pick this book up at the store. I've been reading Dr. Herbenick's sex professor columns in Men's Health for a few years and have enough experience with her advice to know she's spot on. Reading her columns has helped my wife and I have better sex in the past. I got the book for my wife and I both to read. She liked it a lot. She's a very classy woman and not the kind of woman you'd bring the trashier sex books home to. What I like about Debby is that she too is a classy woman and though she gives a lot of great sex tips, you don't feel bad reading them and neither does my wife. She's frank, fun, sexy and gives good information you can trust. My wife took the oral sex tips to heart and let's just say that made my life better! We also found a lot to talk about in the chapter pertaining to desire. Having been married for a few years with two kids, this is a big one for us and Because It Feels Good was the right way to go. Guys: check this book out for yourself or as a gift for your wife or girlfriend. It will make your sex life better!
