Dr. Sherrill Sellman will be on with me to discuss her new book Hormone Heresy. A comprehensively researched book that explains how the use of conventional hormone replacement therapies have put women at great risk and shows the suffering they have endured. It provides women of all ages the vital information necessary for making informed choices; such as the scientific research that shows that synthetic hormones used in HRT and The Pill contribute to breast, ovarian and uterine cancers and how longer term use contributes to CFS, liver disease, impaired thyroid function and reduced or complete deletion of a woman's sex drive. This invaluable volume contains the most optimal, safe and effective solutions to hormonal imbalance at whatever age it occurs. With the knowledge and understanding held within this book women are inspired to create a "hormonal balancing" program for their long term health. www.whatwomenmustknow.com

Energy, it's a problem that never goes away (despite our best efforts as a nation to ignore it). Why has there been so much talk and so little action? In Who Turned Out the Lights? Scott Bittle offers a much-needed reality check in Who Turned Out The Lights? The "Drill, Baby, Drill" versus "Every Day Is Earth Day" battle is not solving our problems, and the finger-pointing is just holding us up. Sorting through the political posturing and confusing techno-speak, they provide a fair-minded, "let's skip the jargon" explanation of the choices we face. And chapters such as "It's All Right Now (In Fact, It's a Gas)" prove that, while the problem is serious, getting a grip on it doesn't have to be. In the end, the authors present options from the right, left, and center but take just one position: The country must change the way it gets and uses energy, and the first step is to understand the choices. Scott Bittle is executive editor of PublicAgenda.org, where he has prepared citizen guides on more than twenty major issues including the federal budget deficit, Social Security, and the economy. He is also the website director for Planet Forward, an innovative PBS program designed to bring citizen voices to the energy debate.

 

Author Annie Barrow will be here to talk about the book series Ivy and Bean. This series is designed for young girls and their moms alike. For Ivy and Bean, their differences mean that they have more fun together than they could ever have separately. It also means that, together, they do more wacky things than any one kid could ever dream up. The Ivy and Bean books are about the adventures—and disasters—created by this unlikely team. And since their motto seems to be “Why not?” there’s every reason to believe that their capers and catastrophes will continue for quite a while. Annie Barrow graduated from UC Berkeley, and became an editor, and now writes this profound and hilarious book series featuring adventure and friendship. www.anniebarrows.com/ivyandbean

 

David L. Marcus will be by to fill my listeners in on his new amazing book Acceptance : A Legendary Guidance Counselor Helps Seven Kids Find the Right Colleges—and Find Themselves. In an age when some parents will pay more than $45,000 for college admissions counseling, and even some elementary schools host college fairs, Gwyeth Smith has made a national reputation by flouting the conventions of the application ritual. As a guidance director at Oyster Bay High, a diverse public school in Long Island, New York, “Smitty” urges students to see college not as an end, but a start. He encourages “his” kids to view college not as an admissions prize, but a path to becoming a pediatrician, teacher, YouTube engineer — whatever their dreams may be. Smitty’s unorthodox approach is grounded in the principle that getting into college shouldn’t just be about getting in; it should be a kid’s first great moment of self-discovery.In ACCEPTANCE: A Legendary Guidance Counselor Helps Seven Kids Find the Right Colleges—and Find Themselves, David L. Marcus, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former education writer for U.S. News & World Report, watches Smitty work his unique magic on his students’ applications and their lives.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is one of the world’s leading relationship experts and spiritual authorities. His twenty-one books have been bestsellers in seventeen languages, and his award-winning syndicated column is read by a global audience of millions. He is the host of TLC’s award-winning Shalom in the Home and was Oprah Winfrey’s love, marriage, and parenting expert on Oprah and Friends. He served for eleven years as rabbi at Oxford University, where he built the Oxford L’Chaim Society into the University’s second largest student organization. In 2000–2001, Michael Jackson sat down with his close friend and spiritual guide, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, to record what turned out to be the most intimate and revealing conversations of his life. It was Michael’s wish to bare his soul and unburden himself to a public that he knew was deeply suspicious of him. The resulting thirty hours are the basis of The Michael Jackson Tapes. There has never been, and never will be, anything like them.

 

William J. Mann is the author of Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn, which was named a New York Times Notable Book. Mann has worked as a freelance journalist and editor, and has written several other works of fiction and nonfiction, and now How to Be a Movie Star. In the 60s, Elizabeth Taylor's affair with the married Richard Burton knocked John Glenn's orbit of the moon off front pages nationwide. Yet, despite all the gossip, the larger-than-life personality and influence of this very human woman has never been captured. William Mann, praised by Gore Vidal, Patricia Bosworth, and Gerald Clarke for Kate, uses untapped sources and conversations to show how she ignited the sexual revolution with her on- and off-screen passions, helped kick down the studio system by taking control of her own career, and practically invented the big business of celebrity star-making. With unputdownable storytelling he tells the full truth without losing Taylor's magic, daring, or wit.

 

Patrick K. O’Donnell is the author of five previous books, including Beyond Valor, winner of the prestigious William E. Colby Award, and the highly acclaimed account of the Battle of Fallujah, We Were One, and now They Dared Return. He lives in Arlington, Virginia. Under the command of Frederick Mayer—a German-Jewish refugee, naturalized American citizen and Wildcat Ranger—Operation Greenup was a brazen military exercise behind enemy lines, using a core of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and locals to gather intelligence and reduce the resistance from SS soldiers. Armed with research in the National Archives, confidential documents and personal interviews, O'Donnell tells a heart-stopping tale of sabotage by men and women who placed everything on the line against a seemingly unstoppable tyranny. 8 pages of b&w photos; map. A never-before-told World War II story of Jewish soldiers on a dangerous mission within the Third Reich—a tale of adventure, espionage, love, and revenge

Conrad Fischer will be here to talk to us about his new book Routine Miracles.What has ruined today’s medical students’ interest in devoting their lives to finding cures for the most rampant diseases riddling our population? How can young doctors not be energized and excited by modern breakthroughs? Why are they not inspired by the ability of current AIDS drugs to increase life expectancy by twenty-five years? In Routine Miracles, award-winning internist and medical educator Conrad Fischer investigates the disconnect between medical advances and the rise of physician dissatisfaction. Fischer surveyed more than 3,000 physicians and interviewed hundreds of patients to uncover the seeds of doctors’ discontent. Based upon his findings, he offers a deeply personal and compelling call to action for all of us, doctor and patient alike, to celebrate the present and the future of medicine.

Dr. Ken Dychtwald, The Nation’s Leading Authority On Aging and Renowned Author will be here to discuss the importance of Long Term Care Planning and his own family's LTC story. The cost of long term care can severely impact your family’s future financial security. Requiring care in any setting is not a topic many of us want to talk about, for obvious reasons. But the fact is, 40 percent of Americans who need long term care are working age adults 18-64 – and this care comes with a very steep price tag. For example, according to recent data from Genworth Financial the national average cost for one year of home care is more than $42,000. Dr. Ken Dychtwald, the nation’s leading authority on aging, a psychologist, gerontologist, and author of 16 books including With Purpose, Going From Success to Significance in Work and Life says today’s Rubik’s Cube-like families come in all shapes and sizes and have diverse sets of complicated dynamics but one commonality is the need to include long term care planning as a part of their overall goals for financial independence and security. For more information on LTC please visit the following websites. http://www.genworth.com/content/products/long_term_care/long_term_care/cost_of_care.html and  www.dychtwald.com

In Denialism, writer Michael Specter reveals that Americans have come to mistrust institutions and especially the institution of science more today than ever before. For centuries, the general view had been that science is neither good nor bad-that it merely supplies information and that new information is always beneficial. Now, science is viewed as a political constituency that isn't always in our best interest. In the United States a growing series of studies show that dietary supplements and "natural" cures have almost no value, and often cause harm. We still spend billions of dollars on them. In hundreds of the best universities in the world, laboratories are anonymous, unmarked, and surrounded by platoons of security guards-such is the opposition to any research that includes experiments with animals. And pharmaceutical companies that just forty years ago were perhaps the most visible symbol of our remarkable advance against disease have increasingly been seen as callous corporations propelled solely by avarice and greed. Now, at the time of mankind's greatest scientific advances-and our greatest need for them-that deal must be renewed.

Ashley Merryman author of NutureShock: New Thinking about Children will be here to talk about her book. NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.

Author , Valerie Kreutzer will be here to talk about her book, A Girl Named Maria. It chronicles an adopted daughter's struggle with identity and her yearning for a birth family that may have included a twin brother. She was found abandoned in the lavatory of a cafeteria in Bogota, Colombia. The police who picked her up named her Maria Consuelo. From a stack of would-be parents, Colombia's welfare agency chose Valerie Kreutzer's application, and the toddler quickly bonded with her new mom in Washington, DC. At school Maria struggled with severe learning disabilities despite a superior I.Q., but also blossomed into an award-winning young artist. Her impulsive behavior led to fits and false starts during adolescence, until she found happiness at twenty-one with David and his extended family. Their love and lives ended in the curve of a rural road in Florida. Maria's legacy lives on in this poignant personal story of one mother's unconditional love for her adopted daughter. This is an intimate, first-hand story by an author, Valerie Kreutzer, whose childhood memories are of her refugee family, at the end of the Second World War, fleeing in terror and on foot their bomb-shattered home in eastern Germany, barely ahead of advancing Russian troops, and with not much more than the clothing on their backs.

Sara Williams, author of One Big Itch, will be here as well this afternoon. One Big Itch is set in Honolulu, the playful tropical city that's also haunted, as Detective John 'Oluhana Maalaea Spyer well knows. Too bad Spyer is a hapa haole (ha-pa how-lee), a half white, and so pays only half attention when Madam Pele herself warns him off the Randolph Haverhill case. No decent Hawaiian ever says no to an old friend, which makes Spyer the quintessential "soft boiled" detective. Despite Madame Pele's warnings, Spyer investigates the death of his childhood pal Randy Haverhill, opening his own psychic wounds and putting the love of his mainland girlfriend Maya to the test. Spyer is soon privy to a frightening tale of obsessive love. Trouble is, Randy became too popular with the ladies for his own good. It appears that one of Randy's crazed lovers shot Randy on his doorstep. So why do the police persist in the notion that Randy was murdered by his own son?

Curtis White is the author of the novels "Memories of My Father Watching TV" and "Requiem." A widely acclaimed essayist, his work appears regularly in "Context" and "Harper's."

Peggy J. McCalla will be on today to talk about her first published book. She worked in mental health for twenty-five years and is now retired. Heads Deacon Tails Devil is her first published work. Set in a small town in the early 1900's, Heads Deacon Tails Devil is the story of Robert Grant, an elementary school teacher and long-standing deacon and spirit-stirring soloist at Nazarene Baptist Church, who shows his best side to his adoring, unsuspecting public, but is the devil incarnate at home. Rachel Grant, who, as a young woman, married Robert against her mother's advice and was sorry for it from her wedding night on, tries her best to shield herself and her five children from Robert's devil side. But, Rachel's strong and wise mother, Mom Maggie, has to step in. With her prophetic gifts, cunning and mother-wit, Mom Maggie fights Robert every step of the way and tries to give her daughter and grandchildren a happy, normal life. As he becomes increasingly frustrated with his ability to control his family and his life, Robert's devil side grows stronger, and Rachel and the children suffer horribly because of it. Blaming Rachel, the children and Mom Maggie for anything he doesn't like about his life, Robert turns to other women to ease his mental and physical needs. As Robert tries to destroy one life in hopes that another will satisfy him, Mom Maggie and Rachel plan to show Robert that the devil is a liar.
