Anyone concerned about the health effects of ingredients in the items they buy every day -- from soup to flea powder, mascara, or car wax -- will find The Safe Shopper's Bible indispensable. Finally, here's a complete guide to settle such questions as: Can your hair coloring cause breast cancer? Is this brand of apple juice safe for babies? Will the additives in this salad dressing harm you? Which shampoo won't sting your eyes? The Safe Shopper's Bible rates thousands of household products, personal care products, foods, and beverages. Its extensive charts list products by brand name and rate them each for short-term and long-term health hazards.

"A marvelous book—intelligent, courageous, and practical." —Barbara Seaman, co-founder, National Women's Health Network What You Don't Know Can Hurt You. Breast cancer rates continue to climb, with this disease striking more women every year, and yet information about known risks and prevention strategies is not reaching you. The cancer establishment has a vested interest in keeping you focused on early detection, treatment, and basic genetic research rather than on reducing the risks for developing the disease in the first place. The truth is, breast cancer is not a random killer. There are many simple, straight-forward ways women can help protect themselves against it. Supported by a wealth of scientifically documented, medically sound information, this ground-breaking book outlines the unpublished "Dirty Dozen" risk factors for breast cancer and describes in detail the ways you can avoid them. "What a tremendous book, on every level." —Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients "All mothers should give this book to their daughters and granddaughters." —Eula Bingham, Ph.D., former Assistant Secretary of Labor, OSHA "This book is more than a remarkable study. It is a prescription that may save your life." —Studs Terkel "A comprehensive picture of probably all the factors in the home, the immediate area, the workplace and in food that have been linked with breast cancer… Full of stimulating ideas for action." —Helen Lynn and Ann Link, Women's Environmental Network Visit us online at http://www.mgr.com

Diet For A Poisoned Planet: How to Choose Safe Foods for You and Your Famiily

Harmony

An idealistic American TV producer starts a charity for famine victims amid Ethiopia's civil war. "You're not in California here," Ethiopia's rebel leader-turned-prime minister reminds him. "This is a different world." In 1993, a prince and princess from Ethiopia's 2,500-year-old Solomonic Dynasty reached out to an international revolutionary who'd played a behind-the-scenes role in the overthrow of Haiti's notorious "Baby Doc" Duvalier. Could he help free Ethiopia's most famous political prisoner and liberate its people from a reign of terror? Now that revolutionary, David Steinman, has drawn on his extraordinary, real-life adventure to write a novel about Ethiopia's present-day struggle for freedom. Part investigative journalism and part parable, it depicts the cover-up of a holocaust and raises questions about the ends and means of Western policy in shadowy places. Money, Blood and Conscience superbly portrays the fight by the world's poorest for food and justice, drawing the reader into a magnificent, heartbreaking crusade for human dignity.

Genre Fiction

A must-have book for every parent, from the author of the ground-breaking bestseller Diet for a Poisoned Planet.\nEvery parent wonders: Am I buying products for my child that are filled with chemical toxins?\nIn his powerful new book, Raising Healthy Children, David Steinman, the director of the Chemical Toxin Working Group and one of America’s premier environmental activists, shows how today’s most popular items—from bubble bath to cereal to cleaning products to snack foods—are contaminated with unacceptable levels of chemical toxins and pesticides, and he proposes alternatives and substitutes to keep your family safe.\nSteinman reveals never-before-seen test results for major brands like Johnsons & Johnsons, Kellogg, Tide, and Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which products contain dangerous ingredients. He casts a wide net, showing how beauty products as well as food items can cause reproductive health issues in pregnant women, and that environmental exposures, particularly in schools, can have a profound impact on babies’ and children’s development.\nDrawing on current research, illuminating vignettes, and inspiring stories of activism, Steinman provides action steps for parents in every chapter, giving them the tools they need to shop for everyday products that will be toxin-free and helping them ask the right questions about their local schools and workplaces to determine their potential levels of exposure. As he writes, “The goal of this book is to show you how to keep you and your family safe and healthy.”\nWhen Steinman published his acclaimed bestseller Diet for a Poisoned Planet, it was compared to Rachel Carson’s classic Silent Spring for bringing to light the chemical toxins in our food. Now, more than thirty years later, Steinman brings readers up to date on the increased dangers we face in all aspects of our lives and teaches us how we can make smart choices to protect our children and ourselves.\nRaising Healthy Children is an inspiring, informative, and user-friendly book that will help every family reduce their toxic exposures and ensure their health and well-being.
