Heavy and Healthy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)for changing my focus from my weight to far more important measures of good health! Now let's hope the world follows suit! I showed this book to my doctor and TO MY AMAZEMENT - he was in full agreement with its principles and practices (now if I can just get him to stop weighing me every time I go there).
It is just plain common sense - everyone who has ever battled with their weight needs to realize that weight is not the enemy and to give up that war and focus on their health. The scale doesn't measure anything of substance!
Again, thanks...

A Question of Intent : A Great American Battle With A Deadly Industry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's funny that when I purchased this book, I never really suspected that it would be quite the page-turner that it is. In this book, David Kessler (former head of the FDA) speaks first of his agency's enlightenment that it COULD and SHOULD fight Big Tobacco and then of the fight itself. This is gripping and compelling a story that public policy has to offer: it's hard to remember that ten years ago, the tobacco industry still held that nicotine a)was not addictive and b)did not cause cancer; this book shows how these myths were finally put to bed in the public sphere. Second, this is a neat story. Kessler has much more of a knack for putting words down on a page than one would expect for a medical doctor (perhaps his wife, whom he declares was a fan of Anthony Trollope, rubbed off on him!) He puts together a story that is worthy of John Grisham; seeing that Erin Brockovich became one of the big pictures of the past twelve months, this fella might have something going for himself here....
Setting all of these aside, this book has something to offer for people interested in how the American political system works. In much the same way as books like 'Boomerang!' chronicled the downfall of the centrally-funded health care system also circa the early Clinton-era, this book deals with one of the great succeses (or a part thereof) of the same period. This is a great read and entirely worth buying in hardcover....
Please buy this book....

Muscle, Smoke, & Mirrors: Volume I Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Randy has written a masterpiece on the history that covers the dawning of physical culture right through to bodybuilding in the 1960's. He has meticulously covered so many subjects that interconnect so well from the scientific nutritionists who stumble across tribes and cultures of people who have the keys to health, strength and longevity to fitness magazine owners, writers and articles who saw the dollars to promote fake foods that make a lot of money. Entangled within such well written work are some amazing and interesting characters who had differing motives and agendas that enlighten us to why and how we got where we are today within the arena of nutrition, bodybuilding, sports, strength and health.
