Book Cover Why Men Die First
by Marianne J. Legato

In her ground-breaking book, Why Men Die First, Dr. Legato combines years of advanced research in the study of genetics, biochemistry and the gendered brain and renders these fascinating findings into a highly accessible, intriguing primer on the contemporary woman.

Dr. Legato clearly illustrates the fascinating connection between gender-specific hormones and brain function as it pertains to the experience of stress, intimacy and the onset of disease. Laced with interviews and the latest science and opinion on this subject delivered from leading scientists such as Nobel Laureates Marshall Nirenberg and Eric Kandell, Legato applies a fresh new lens on topics as diverse as language conception, risk-taking behaviors, heart disease and competitive behavior patterns, depression and procreation, creating a model of female development all her own.

Book Cover Fall Down Laughing
by David L. Lander

In 1978, David "Squiggy" Lander , the star of the hit sitcom Laverne & Shirley, agreed to make a celebrity appearance for a Multiple Sclerosis fundraiser in upstate New York. Knowing next to nothing about the disease, he asked the telethon director, "Why would anyone give money to MS if they already gave to Jerry's kids?"

"Anyone can get MS," the director replied. Little did Lander know how prophetic this conversation would be. Fall Down Laughing: How Squiggy Caught Multiple Sclerosis and Didn't Tell Nobody is the often poignant, always humorous account of Lander's courageous struggle with MS, from his desperate search for a cure to his 16 years of silence on his affliction to his decision to go public with his illness.

Book Cover The Tony Gonzalez Gridiron Diet and Mindset
by Tony Gonzalez and Mitzi Dulan, RD

In 2004, Tony Gonzalez set the record with 102 catches to become the first tight end since 1986 to lead the NFL in receptions. Even with this amazing achievement under his belt, however, Tony was worried, as the typical pro-football player's lifespan is estimated to be 15 years shorter than the average American's. What started as Tony's search for a better way to eat became a team effort when he began working closely with Mitzi Dulan, RD, nutritionist for the Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals baseball team. When the program Mitzi and Tony devised produced dramatic results, they decided that the public could benefit from their training and experience in diet and fitness.

The Tony Gonzalez Diet and Mindset provides a fascinating glimpse inside pro football. But this book is for everyone - the high-level athlete, the senior citizen, the couch potato, the Little Leaguer, the mom struggling to lose weight after childbirth. The principles are universal and effective. Only Tony and Mitzi can put it all together to give people off the field the kind of results this superstar pro has experienced on the field.
