Product Description: Pregnancy is no time to let yourself go—and with Anna Aberg’s surprisingly efficient light weight program, the forty weeks of waiting may even be a time to get stronger and fitter!  When Aberg—a former Miss Sweden and personal trainer—was pregnant with her first child, she couldn't find an exercise routine that would increase her fitness while safeguarding her pregnancy.  Stretching, yoga, and light aerobics—standard fare for pregnant women—weren't enough for this high-performance mom-to-be.  Aberg developed a daily regimen of 2- to 10-pound weight training that could be done anywhere at any time.  The system she developed and perfected to keep herself in shape is all here, divided into three sets for each trimester of pregnancy.  It focuses on abs, arms, thighs, butts, and shoulders and promises: increased strength, enhanced endurance, a cap on body fat and more flexibility.

Product Description: Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While it's true that we live in an age when we're as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. Yes, you've owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body.

Product Description: Each year, as many as twenty million Americans are diagnosed with clinical depression. Tens of millions more have low energy or feel unhappy and dissatisfied with their lives. And each year, American doctors write 189 million prescriptions for antidepressant drugs for these people. Dr. James Gordon, a Harvard Medical School-educated psychiatrist who founded and directs The Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C., has been helping his patients find their way out of the darkness of depression for the past forty years. He has worked with everyone from high-powered Washington politicians to Hurricane Katrina victims, from overstressed doctors, lawyers, and stay-at-home moms to orphans from war-ravaged Kosovo and Gaza. Each one of Dr. Gordon’s patients is unique, but all suffer from some level of depression, and none are getting relief from the antidepressant drugs their doctors keep prescribing or the psychotherapy they’ve been receiving.
