Healthy, vibrant skin depends more on what you put in your cheeks than what you rub on them, says dermatologist Nicholas Perricone. In The Perricone Prescription, fresh salmon tops the list of must-eat foods for total body rejuvenation. In fact, it is the star of Perricone's "Three-Day Nutritional Face-Lift," a convincing trial run for those who are a bit hedgy about committing to his 28-day diet and his supplement, skin care, and exercise regimen.

Perricone's clear explanation about the adverse effects of inflammatory foods persuasively argues for shunning destructive, low-fat favorites (including watermelon, carrots, and bagels) and "culinary horrors" like pizza, pasta, and beef. Better to eat anti-inflammatory choices (those with a glycemic index of 50 or less) like salmon, halibut, and trout. While the book's mega list of recommended supplements is a bit hard to swallow (literally and figuratively), the supportive information Perricone supplies about each is certainly helpful.

Another detailed grocery list--this time for topical anti-inflammatories--addresses skin care, and his wrinkle-free fitness plan promotes flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. Finally, a handful of savory recipes offers respite to those who only know how to broil. So, despite all the salmon (and the angry kids whose parents have purged their high-glycemic kitchens), Perricone's prescription doesn't sound fishy at all. --Liane Emory Thomas

Book Description

Now in a stunning trade paperback edition that includes a new bonus chapter, the instant #1 New York Times bestseller The Perricone Prescription is the dramatically effective, total body anti–aging program that includes an easy–to–follow exercise, diet, and skin–care regimen for people of all ages.

We generally believe that lines and wrinkles are an unavoidable part of the aging process. According to Dr. Nicholas V. Perricone, they are actually due to "inflammation" caused by poor nutrition, pollution, sunlight, irritating skin care treatments, and stress. In fact, this type of inflammation is more than just a beauty problem. The production of free radicals that damage the cells and organs in the body also increases the likelihood of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis.

The good news is, the Perricone Prescription Program can prevent and even reverse these problems. The program will not only produce visible improvement in the skin, it will improve your body's overall health and appearance. Dr. Perricone has developed his own skin care products and recommends other products he believes will help to improve skin tone. By following the Perricone Program of diet, topical creams, vitamins, and exercise, you can dramatically reduce lines and wrinkles and achieve a younger look within three days. You will look and feel better than you ever thought possible. Good health and beautiful skin–an unbeatable combination.

Amazing help for skin and health.......2007-10-01

The Perricone PrescriptionIf you want easy, natural ways to improve your skin and overall health, this is the author to look for. The changes are simple and readily available.

The Perricone Prescription.......2007-08-16

Use this book if you need motivation to lose weight and feel better. I quit drinking coffee and soda, now I drink water and green tea and added the supplements recommended. I use this book to improve my lifestyle long term. The price is worth buying on Amazon over the book stores, it was way cheaper. Enjoy!

Interesting theory...ultimately just conjecture.......2007-06-05

This was an interesting read, but ulitmately I found that the author doesn't really provide any evidence to back up what he says.

HUh?.......2007-05-07

I thought this book would be great because he's a doctor & has such great skin himself. I ended up throwing this book away. He doesn't do any kind of systematic research he just takes before & after pictures of these ladies & uses positive adjectives to describe the "after" photo, even though *I* think some them looked better before. The diet is way too complex & villifies foods that are perfectly healthy. I would recommend just eating off the food pyramid - those recommendations are supported by actual research. This guy is making a million bucks selling books & products with claims that I *doubt* would be endorsed by any medical or scientific community. Go figure.

Great Plan for Healthy Living.......2007-01-04

I initially borrowed this book from the library and decided to buy it because it is such a good reference. I really like the whole approach with healthy eating complemented by supplements contribute to weight loss and improved skin. The explanations are very detailed but understandable, which helped me to stick to the program which has actually evolved into a lifestyle for me. I do believe the advice provided will contribute to reducing my risk of heart disease and cancer while giving me immediate payback of better skin and weight loss. My skin is truly more attractive with fewer, or less deep, wrinkles (I'm a 53 year old woman)and I do feel more energetic. I also purchased Perricone's Weight-loss Diet which continues along the same line but with a deeper focus upon weight loss.

Book Description

This collection of key articles from the most influential journals and books in the field examines what social scientists mean by the term tourism, and what it means to be a tourist. Carefully selected and introduced by the editor, this material charts the sociological changes that have occurred in tourism, and the change from the upper-class grand tours of the late nineteenth-century to the mass tourism of the present day. The collection also assesses the economic impacts of tourism on local economies, environmental considerations, and whether the growth of tourism is sustainable in a post-September 11th world.

Tourism: Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences is an accessible and comprehensive resource designed for academics and scholars researching in tourism, globalization, and human geography.

Opening at the 2004 Olympic baseball tournament, where the unheralded Canadian team came within an errant throw of the gold medal game, the author recounts Canada's rich baseball history, from 1838 to 2004, when the top rookie in both major leagues hailed form the Great White North.

Book Description

Designed to introduce music students and musicians to the vitality of music philosophical discourse, Philosophical Perspectives on Music explores diverse accounts of the nature and value of music. It offers an accessible, even-handed consideration of philosophical orientations without advocating any single one, demonstrating that there are a number of ways in which music may reasonably be understood. This unique approach examines the strengths and advantages of each perspective as well as its inevitable shortcomings. From the pre-Socratic Greeks to idealism, through phenomenology, and on to contemporary socio-cultural critiques, this wide-ranging survey examines the views of selected influential thinkers in sufficient detail to permit their voices to be personally and meaningfully experienced. Striving to portray philosophy as an intriguing dialogue rather than a dogmatic source of definitive answers, it invites readers to become full participants in an ongoing process of philosophical debate with vital contemporary relevance and extensive practical significance. Examining what music is, how it works, and what music is good for, this book encourages musicians to join in important conversations that shape both the ways they practice their art and the ways in which they and others understand it. Accessible to students with little or no background in music philosophy, Philosophical Perspectives on Music provides the foundation for applied or professional philosophies while also introducing readers to the richness of the philosophical quest. Ideal for philosophy of music and philosophy of music education courses, it is also enlightening reading for students of musicology, music theory, and music performance. Featuring interdisciplinary dialogue, this insightful text addresses issues common to the concerns of all musicians.

Customer Reviews:

Superb!.......2000-05-15

Bowman's book is an extraordinary example of scholarship by any standard. His elegant and fine-grained examination of `music' offers serious readers a range of perspectives (e.g., Music as. . . Imitation, Idea, Form, Symbol, Experience and so forth) which is unmatched in the philosophical literature for its clarity, depth, insight and comprehensiveness. It opens the widest possible window on music with the added benefit that a great deal of erroneous `old think' is totally blown away. I place Bowman's book at the top of my `must read' list for all graduate students.

Good but Pedantic.......2000-03-18

Bowman's book is important for the careful detail it provides on past philosophical theories of music. But his book has three major weaknesses. Bowman's exhaustive detail is second only to his heavy, exhausting, pedantic style. (There is no life in Bowman's writing; no joy; no expression. How ironic in a book about music!). Next, his book omits to discuss most contemporary philosophers of music. Why? This is a curious and disappointing omission which makes his book far less valuable than it could have been. Good for him (and bad for us, I think) because Bowman's omissions allow him to sidestep all the difficult (but interesting and valuable) challenges that come from thinking critically about philosophical discourse in the present day.

Book Description

Our actions in education, business, and government are no longer guided by conscious ideals, but by entrenched practices that are products of expediency, indolence, and even tyranny. Inveterate and ubiquitous problems abound. Students hate school. Employees dislike their jobs. Professors become disinclined toward teaching. Boredom and procrastination are everywhere. There are promotion requirements (such as scholarly publications by college professors) that promote nothing and benefit none except to move the person into the next nominal category along the spectrum of the organizational ladder. We are plagued with senseless competitive patterns and numerical evaluations that make life a mere matter of Â“rat race,Â” the winning of which does not uplift us into the sublimity of humanity, but trammel us in the degradation of being Â“rats.Â”

Essays in this book reflect on and search for answers to widespread and inveterate problems that degenerate modern life into mere livelihood. Products in sober solitude rather than in the societal cacophony, most essays in the book were written during the authorÂ's doctoral studies.

Exploring the strange and hazy days before nerds ruled the earth, tech writer Steve Lohr's Go To is a great introduction to the softer side of the information age. Sure, he covers the Microsoft and Apple stories, but he also digs deeply to learn how Fortran and Cobol were developed and ventures into the open-source world. Lohr is adept at personalizing the process of software development, which serves to make some of the business and technical decisions more comprehensible to the lay reader.

IBM conducted yearly employee reviews called the "Performance Improvement Program," or Pip, for short. The Pip, like most such programs today, followed a rigid formula, with numbers and rankings. [John] Backus decided the Pip system was ill-suited for measuring the performance of his programmers, so his approach was to mostly ignore it. One afternoon, for example, he called Lois Haibt over for a chat. He talked about her work, said she had been doing an excellent job and then pushed a small piece of paper across the desk saying, "This is your new salary," a pleasing raise, as Haibt recalled. As she got up to leave, Backus mentioned in passing, "In case anyone should ask, this was your Pip."

Since he starts early in the history of the field, Lohr gets to share some of the oddities of the days before programming was professionalized. Developers were kids, musicians, game experts, and practically anyone who showed an interest. Many readers will be surprised and delighted to read of the strong recruitment of women and their many contributions to software development--an aspect of geek history that has long been neglected. Go To should break down a few preconceptions while building up a new respect for the coders who guided us into the 21st century. --Rob Lightner

Book Description

"Go To...is smooth, creamy, entertaining...delightful. It is a sort of Iliad for the computer age."--David Gelernter, New York Times.

In Go To, Steve Lohr chronicles the history of software from the early days of complex mathematical codes mastered by a few thousand to today's era of user-friendly software and over six million professional programmers worldwide. Lohr maps out the unique seductions of programming, and gives us an intimate portrait of the peculiar kind of genius that is drawn to this blend of art, science, and engineering, introducing us to the movers and shakers of the 1950s and the open-source movement of today. With original reporting and deft storytelling, Steve Lohr shows us how software transformed the world, and what it holds in store for our future.

Customer Reviews:

I thoroughly enjoyed this book........2005-02-23

As a engineer who uses many applications in his work, it was an exciting experience to read about those indivuduals who developed the codes that resulted in these applications. It's amazing how much development occurred in such a relatively short period of time (less than 50 years) and there are so many new innovative codes to look forward to. I was excited enough when I completed this book to purchase (from Amazon naturally) Bjarne Stroustrup's "The Design and Evolution of C++." Three cheers for Steve Lohr for "GO TO."

Useful Chronology of Operating Systems & Langusges .......2005-02-13

The writer, a NY Times technology correspondent, provides a 250-page chronology of computer operating systems and software languages from the early post-WWII years until 2001. A few important applications such as VisiCalc and Word are also covered. Brief mention is made of hardware trends that created the environment for software engineering.

This is a "people" book. Brief biographical sketches of the key players are followed by a description of the most basic characteristics of each software item and a brief chronology of its emergence into the marketplace. There is little in the way of analysis and little personal opinion.

The book reads like a long Britannica article and is a suitable overview and reference for serious students of technology but more than a little boring for the general reader.

I was surprised that Gary Kildall only received half of one sentence. His Digital Research Company and its early microcomputer operating system, CP/M, was an early business success. A variant of CP/M, Seattle Computer Products 86-DOS, was the backbone of Gates' DOS for the IBM PC.

good set of bedtime stories ..........2004-12-23

I haven't read this book cover to cover. But, I have been flipping through a few of its pages and have been jumping in and reading what seems interesting at the moment.

Overall, the book is quite well written. The stories are engaging. Some editing would help. Is the history correct? I don't know! Is the book enjoyable? Definitely! It's my favorite bed-time stories!! ;-) Fun to read. Very non-technical. So even your mom (assuming she's non-techie) can also read it and be amazed as how the software industry (mostly the languages part of the industry) has progressed over the years.

README.......2004-02-13

This book could have been better edited and better organized, but it is still worth reading. "GO TO" (which probably should have been called "goto" or "GOTO") covers the history of computing, touching on several of the famous legends. It even tells of the work some of them did pryor to becoming legends. All computer scientists, computer engineers, and sys-admins should have a good understanding of the history of computing and this book is a good place to get it. This book should prove informative and enjoyable to any one else, especially people interested in history.

engaging history of a difficult but important subject.......2003-12-22

This book ranks among the best in the history of technology and one of the few that specifically addresses software. Most other histories of technology or computing center on hardware, with some even focusing on a single computer such as the Eniac, the Difference Engine or Apple. But recognize that hardware commoditizes over time, while good software largely holds its value. Software creates fortunes but also deeply felt-opinions about quality, and as Lohr demonstrates, a constant stream of innovation. The book showcases the creators of breakthrough operating systems and applications, and makes clear their contributions to the rise of the computer industry. It is worthwhile for readers following technology, business, current events and even law and philosophy- the concepts have indeed become major disruptions in the history of ideas.
