Book Description
Every year millions of Americans are diagnosed with cancer, stroke, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and other life-threatening or life-altering diseases. When faced with a devastating diagnosis people must quickly understand the diagnosis, prognosis, and choose from several treatment options—while still in shock. AfterShock identifies the processes required to respond to a serious diagnosis, regardless of the specific disease.
Social psychologist Gruman offers practical advice in a 10-stage approach to making clear-headed, informed decisions about who to tell and when; how to get a second opinion or find the right doctor and hospital; where to find reliable online information and telephone help-lines about a particular diagnosis and treatment; how to navigate the health care maze; where to turn for support and comfort.
Dr. Gruman not only draws on her expertise in consumer health information and the advice of doctors and nurses, she shares the personal stories of people who have dealt with traumatic diagnoses, including her own experience of having had three different kinds of cancer and a dangerous heart condition. AfterShock is inspiring and empowering, and is an essential companion book to the disease-specific titles that most people with a devastating diagnosis purchase.

Watch the Charlie Rose interview & then buy this book.......2007-07-13
Jessie Gruman, Ph.D., has written an essential reference for just about everyone. She offers a well-informed cushion and roadmap to support what most of us will face quite unprepared--the shock of learning that you or someone you love has a bad diagnosis. Gruman has been there--she's had 4 serious illnesses, including 3 different cancers. She has brought together her own personal experience and her extensive behavioral science and health policy professional knowledge in a very accessible reference. She was interviewed on the Charlie Rose Show on 7/11/07. (You can get the DVD through Amazon) Notice how engaged Charlie Rose becomes from the get-go in his interview with her, due to his own health issues and what she has to say. Don't wait until you get the bad news, and you are in shock. Watch this interview and then buy this book now.
An essential book.......2007-02-17
This fabulous book should be in everyone's medicine chest because like bandages and aspirin, sooner or later, you're going to need it. Gruman skillfully and sensitively guides the reader through the full spectrum of concerns and activities that characterize the first several weeks after receiving a devastating medical diagnosis. Some of the chapters are devoted to topics you would expect in such a book: how to get a second opinion, how to manage the flood of emotions that spill over you. But others are entirely unexpected and therefore, especially welcome: how to deal with your insurance company, how to inform family members and co-workers, how to negotiate benefit managers, etc.
And just in case the above suggests that this is a dry and technical book, it's absolutely not. The great strength of AfterShock is that compelling and often heart-rending anecdotes from real patients, doctors, human resources specialists, and family members provide an emotional grounding for every bit of advice the book contains. This book is essential reading. Like it or not, we're all going to need it sooner or later.

Good.......2006-06-01
Impotence is mainly a inability of maintaining an erection for sexual intercourse. Psychological impotence can be easily cured with counseling but some of the types of impotence are irreversible. Physical impotence mostly occurs from cardiovascular illness or diabetes. If a man has an erection at night the impotence is surely psychological related but if he has none than it might be physiological however you might find interesting the book "Natural Penis Enlargement: New Methods of Avoiding and Curing Impotence, Premature Ejaculation, and Erectile Dysfunction Safely and Inexpensively. New ... No Pumps, No Pills and No Gadgets! Vol. 2" by Platinum Millennium as it treats the same subject.

truly wonderful, inspiring, and life-changing book..........2000-03-08
This book was a real eye-opener. I have had erectile dysfunction for quite some time since a machining accident, and I have tried every book/technique for overcoming my insecurities on the market. I tried viagra, seeing many urologists, and even hypnotism and still could not get it up! Imagine the effect this terrible disease has on your self esteem and how difficult it is to get into a serious relationship. Needless to say the 10 years before I read this book were a dark time for me. I wont give too much away because if you are like me you will love reading this book from cover to cover, but several important topics are covered including daily excercises to improve public muscle strength and overcoming our anxieties about sex and masturbation. The author's style was uplifting...I was truly put at ease by his comforting tone.
Very Helpful-- It changed my outlook and my life-.......1997-11-05
This book gave me information I had been seeking for a long time. I was so impressed that I went to see Dr. Morganstern in Atlanta and he gave me and my wife a new lease on life!!!

Customer Reviews:
Bond. James, Bond........2006-11-22
Bond. James Bond. This book is an instant classic. This is exactly how Ian Fleming created it. In this book, James must deal with saboteurs, women, and international conspiracy. As a three part book, this novel requires a decent chunk of time to complete, but is worth every minute! It includes the classic stories: From Russia with Love (in which James must escape from Russia with a dangerous Russian organization desperate to prevent him from ever escaping alive), Doctor No (A man with robotic hands is plotting something against the United States. Can James stop him, and escape his deadly obstacle course with his life still intact?), and Goldfinger (Someone is smuggling gold out of banks, and may be connected with Bond's long-time friends in Russia. Can James uncover this plot? And is something even bigger at stake?) As a long time fan of James, I highly recommend this book. Some scenes are quite descriptive as of Bond's relationship with the women he sleeps with, s this book is mostly suited to anyone over the age of 14.
The three greatest 007 novels in one volume!.......2002-04-06
This great collection of Ian Fleming's three James Bond thriller novels, From Russia, With Love, Doctor No, and Goldfinger is the best deal anywhere if you're looking for cheap classics. Even though it's not avaliable anymore, ... so if you get an oppurtunity buy it instantly.
From Russia, With Love is about a Soviet conspiracy involving a code machine called the Spektor, a lovely Russian female named Tatiania Romanova, and a professional killer who is affected by the moon. The girl sends for Bond, pledging her love and at the same time luring him into a trap that would seriously damage the Service's image. Great read and the best Cold War thriller out there.
In Doctor No, James Bond is sent to investigate two agents who have disappeared in Jamaica. He soon discovers the clues linking him to Doctor No, a Chinese/German doctor who has an island base in Jamaica, where he disrupts U.S. missile firing. James endures through his toughest physcial test of his career, and some consider Dr. No to be the best 007 novel ever written.
Goldfinger is in my opinion the best 007 novel of all. While investigating a cheat at cards by the name of Auric Goldfinger, James is informed that he is also involved in smuggling Great Britain's gold reserves to India, where the Russians wait for it. As James is captured, he discovers Goldfinger's master plan--to raid Fort Knox itself! With the smartest villian, the toughest henchman, and the most thrilling climax of all the James Bonds, Goldfinger is the by far the best masterpiece ever to come from the desk of Ian Fleming.
This wonderful trilogy is an enthralling epic of the Cold War, and I recommend it to anyone who has either read Ian Fleming before, or is thinking of starting very soon.
Better the the movies.......2000-02-09
This is a great book, and after reading this I watched all the movies again, and they can't even compare. If you enjoy James Bnd you will enoy this, I mean I am only eleven and I couldn't tare my eyes away. I enjoyed the action, suspense, romance, and even the detail, Iam Flemming is truly a master writer, and can only portay James Bond. The movies are nothing comapred to this, this is a must get.
Great collection...but with a correction.......1999-12-29
These three books together are, in some ways, the epitome of James Bond. However, I must correct one of the reviews. These books *are* sequential. These books are 5, 6, and 7 in the order that Fleming published them. The 8th was The Spy Who Loved Me and the 9th was Thunderball, the first book in the Blofeld trilogy. Aside from the 10th book, For Your Eyes Only (a collection of short stories), the story picks up in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and ends with You Only Live Twice. These three Blofeld books are available in the James Bond Omnibus, volume 2.
Excellent storytelling.......1999-12-22
I am a fan of the James Bond movies but the recent ones have let me down. So instead of giving up on Bond, I have taken to reading the stories and they are far better than I had imagined. Almost every one is better then the film that it spawned. Ian Fleming's Bond is far superior to the Bond that Hollywood is sticking us with. Bond does not spout off one liners, shoot everything in sight, or have an obligatory load up on spy gadgets scene in Ian Fleming's books. This book is just great.

Pop Taoism, ala the Doc.......2002-07-22
Stephen Russel (aka the Barefoot Doctor) is easily the funniest, most pleasent tour guide down the path of Taoism you will find, and he delivers some great practicle advice here with a Taiost twist.
If you want stuck up snobbery and Puritain aditude, look elsewhere. Vague bland advise? Away with you! Straight forward talk with a dash of humour, a pinch of irony, and a healthy chunck of wonder at life in general and sex specificaly? Here is the book.
Spicy, Sassy and Splendid.......2002-04-25
Stephen Russel did a great job of reaching out to all audiences in this book. He made it known that the book was primarily for the "Modern Lover", Male-Female "relationships." Though, homosexuals and elderly lovers may find much of the material useful. The rather frequent vulgar language may be offensive to some yet humorous to others.
The book is based on Taoism, and even if you are not a Tao believer, this book will prove its worth. It's constant use of Tao terminology makes sense. However, the information doesn't have to be absorbed and utilized in a Tao believer's fashion. If the reader simply keeps and open mind about things, then this book will be enjoyed. It is hilarious, very informative and especially useful.
Great to increase you sex I.Q........2002-03-25

Book Description
A Season Of Miracles . . .
God could not have chosen a worse time to send Dr. Grant Hardesty to Button Gap. Three abandoned children were depending on Maggie Davis's clandestine care until their mother returned. Maggie didn't think she could trust the by-the-book doctor with her secret. Until she got a glimpse into his soul . . . and God's mysterious ways became as clear as a starry night.
Maggie knew her trust was well placed as this once-aloof doctor opened his heart to the children . . . and her. But as Grant's time in Button Gap ended, she prayed for one more miracle. Could God make this man who seemed to have everything recognize that it all meant nothing without Maggie's love?
Customer Reviews:
Brilliant.......2007-07-11
This was a great story - I loved the way the characters interacted with each other, especially the three young children. I loved the supportive community and how they rallied as a group to take care of each other. And I loved accompanying both protagnosts on their journey of personal growth. This was an awesome book to inspire the Christmas spirit and keep it buring throughout the year.
get into the holiday spirit!.......2003-12-01
I have a personal unwritten rule that I never read Christmas Books before Thanksgiving. This book I started the day after Thanksgiving and it went far to put me in the holiday spirit!
Maggie Davis is an extremely likable person. She's overcome a difficult upbringing and has returned to her home town in the back-of-beyond rural mountain town of Button Gap. She has spent the last five years as the Nurse at the free clinic. She basically runs the clinic. The clinic also has a volunteer doctor. These doctors come in for a one month term of service. December's doctor is Grant Hardesty. Maggie would like Grant if it wasn't for her secret. She's hiding 3 children until their mother can get her life together and return to them. If Grant finds out about them, he might turn them over to the social service system. Unfortunately the Social Service worker that serves Button Gap is not the loving, caring individual we would like to see in such a position. Maggie feels determined to keep the children together until their mother returns.
Grant has his own reasons for going to Button Gap. He wants a partnership in a Baltimore practice, and this clinic is a pet project of the Senior partner. The Senior Doctor sends Grant to Button Gap to "get some passion" into him. Grant has held himself aloof since his vibrant young brother died. It's fun watching the rich, well-polished Grant adjust to small town life. (no restaurants? patients pay in pies and sausages?) Of course, the town does put some life into him. Grant also re-discovers the God he had left behind at his brother's death.
The town of Button Gap could also be described as a main character in this story. Typical of Marta Perry's writing, there is a wise elderly person, in this case the town's "Aunt" Elly. I wish I could sit down and visit with Aunt Elly. She is full of God's grace and wisdom.
The book has enough romance to make me happy and even a few suspense-filled scenes. The Happy-ever-after ending is too good to be true, but isn't it nice to have everything all tied up neat and tidy?
This is a great book to curl up with on a cold winter's evening. Enjoy!

Good practical advice.......2006-12-21
Ever notice how differently men and women see relationships and how they handle stress? Those differences can affect the way we solve problems that arise.
Dr. Hawkins uses stories about people he's worked with to help identify potential trouble spots. He offers realistic solutions to keep our personal relationships working smoothly. Sometimes we're too close to the problem to see clearly what needs to be done. Also, it's a lot easier to see what someone else is doing wrong than it is to admit our own failings. Dr. Hawkins has more than thirty years counseling experience and has worked with thousand of couples. In this book he sets out effective ways to avoid problems that can damage our relationships with the people we love.

Book Description
For many years, there have been speculations made about the nature of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his sister-in-law, Minna Bernays. It has long been suggested that they were lovers and confidantes and even that Minna conceived Freud's child and underwent an abortion. These theories have been fueled from valid sources, such as Carl Jung, who stated that Minna, in a fit of distress, confessed a sexual relationship with Freud. Freudian scholars appear divided on the issue of the nature of their relationship.
This work must be considered fact-based fiction -- drawn from actual events, dates, and circumstances taken from Freud's letters and biographies but with fictional dialogue. Living in Vienna just blocks from the old Freud household while researching this book, the author retraced the documented travels of Freud and Minna, trying to provide authentic details, down to hotel names, whenever possible.
One thing is certain. Minna Bernays did live with the Freud family for many years and was working closely with Freud for at least ten of those years translating, proofreading, and editing manuscripts, as well as accompanying him in travel.
Because of the intimate nature of their relationship, Minna has been all but obliterated from Sigmund Freud's family history. Certain documents and pictures are sealed until well after the year 2000 in accordance with the wishes of Anna Freud, his daughter. The truth about Minna and Freud's relationship remains with these documents.
