THE PRACTICAL ART OF FACE READING Ref: RFD977

Simon Brown

The face is the mirror that reflects our innermost being. We all subconsciously read features, quickly deciding whether someone seems aloof or friendly, tired or full of energy. The author shows you how to hone those instincts with detailed knowledge about face shape, hairlines, eyebrows and eyes, cheeks and smile, noses, lips, ears, chins, and jowls. Each feature is extensively discussed, with ample close-up photos that visually clarify every point. Identify the three "facial zones" that allow you to access character quickly. Then see how to use this wisdom to improve everything from business meetings to social situations to your personal life. Communicate more persuasively, enhance decision-making, see yourself as others see you, choose the perfect partner, enjoy better relationships, develop your parenting ability, make wiser career choices, work more efficiently, and even ward off ill health.

Keith Mason

Radionics is a form of vibrational medicine, discovered in the early 1900s by Dr. Albert Abrams, an American neurologist. After taking a case history, a hair sample is sent to the practitioner whenever the patient suffers ill-health. The electro-magnetic field emitted by the sample is analysed, allowing for a very exact diagnosis. And extraordinarily, manipulation of this field, performed upon the sample, can correct the illness in the patient - who may be thousands of miles away!

REAL AGE: Are You As Young As You Can Be? Ref: RWD545

Michael Roizen

Although your chronological age is fixed, your biological age can be years younger or older than what your date of birth indictates. How we look after ourselves - our diet, our lifestyle, our stress levels - can all contribute to our biological age. Age is not just a chronological measurement; it's the rate at which our cardiovascular and immune systems decline. Now we can halt, and even reverse, the ageing process. This study calculates the effect of more than 100 different health behaviours, including diet, chronic smoking and sleep patterns on your biological age. With tests and questionnaires, it shows you how to develop a lifestyle which can improve, and reverse, your own ageing trajectory, and includes 44 steps that claim to delay ageing. Dr Roizen and his team have consulted over 25,000 medical studies in their research.

Bridging this gap, this book provides incremental guidelines to maximizing chances of conceiving naturally, then progresses to more advanced medical alternatives. Alice Domar, a guru of women's mind/body health, has collaborated with two colleagues at the Harvard Medical School to present this well-balanced introduction to reproductive health. Believing that couples should begin with the safest, simplest approach, the authors recommend lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and even the type of underwear) as well as techniques for handling emotional stress. Basic reproductive physiology is reviewed with a brief description of male and female reproductive problems, common diagnostic tests, and medications. All this is carefully wrapped up in an overview of the most advanced approach, that is, assisted reproductive therapies." - Library Journal. Remainder mark.
