Understanding the Older Horse : You Guide to Horse Health Ca.......2000-06-29
very disappointing. Targeted audience is apparently the first-time horse owner that bought an older horse. Too much time is spent with GENERAL good horsecare and not geriatric care. Very elementary level. I've gotten more information about caring for older horses w/in general horse care books.

Beacon of Hope.......2003-10-01
This book offers positive, practical advice for parents coping with helping their child work through and survive an eating disorder.
It is well written, well organized, and compassionately rendered by an expert in the field who is herself an anorexia survivor.
During a time when parents are likely to be distracted by fear and anxiety and yet must search for ways to help their child, this book offers hope and help, not fear and blame. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.
A Great Resource for Parents.......2002-03-23
Someone has finally produced a practical guide for parents who want to raise children with healthy eating habits!
In a society where parents must compete with innumerable messages to eat fast and stay thin, this book is one of very few resources designed to assist them in their efforts to help their kids develop healthy attitudes toward food and nutrition. The Parents Guide to Childhood Eating Disorders is remarkably readable and the strategies which it outlines are upbeat and presented in an extremely well organized format.
As a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents who have eating disorders, I will surely be recommending Dr. Herrin's book to my clients. Quite simply, this book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone raising teenage girls.
Book Description
Straightforward solutions to difficult problems.
Most teenagers have a friend who has been affected by an eating disorder. Such disorders affect almost 20% of teenage girls in North America at some point in their development.
Magazines and movies constantly stress a thin body image as the defining force for popularity. The message teenagers get is that thin is the only route to popularity and happiness.
Through the Eating Disorder Program, Drs. Katzman and Pinhas, at The Hospital for Sick Children, have developed a program that helps young people and their parents deal with the problems of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
First, the book shows parents how to identify an eating disorder and when to become concerned about it.
Second, there is vital information for parents on how to become informed users of the health care system and how to collaborate in their child's treatment.
Third, practical support for parents, family members and coaches enables them to participate in the recovery of a child or adolescent with an eating disorder.
Worksheets, diaries and first-person case studies assists parents and caregivers to help youth overcome an eating disorder.

Book Description
The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders shows that effective solutions begin at home and cost little more than a healthy investment of time, effort, and love. Based on exciting new research, it differs from similar books in several key ways. Instead of concentrating on the grim, expensive hospital stays of patients with severe disorders, the authors focus on the family, teaching parents how to examine and understand their family’s approach to food and body-image issues and its effect their child’s behavior. Parents learn to identify an eating disorder early, to establish healthy attitudes toward food at a young age, and to intervene in a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental way. The authors concentrate on teens, the age group most often affected by eating disorders, as well as younger children. Individual chapters cover boys at risk, relapse training, dealing with friends, school, and summer camp, and much more. The book includes an appendix and sections on further reading, organizations and websites, residential and hospital programs, and references.
