Book Description
Gail Sheehy's landmark bestseller has become the bible for women concerned about menopause. Since The Silent Passage was originally published in the early 1990s, Gail Sheehy, a member of the board of the New York Menopause Research Foundation, has been at the forefront of the newest research on menopause. She has also continued to interview countless women throughout the country on the subject. In this updated and expanded edition, she presents essential new data in chapters on
The Perimenopause Panic, Menopause in the Workplace, Estrogen and Brainpower, and
New Frontiers in Treatment. Candid, enlightening, inspiring, and witty, with the latest information on everything from early menopause to Chinese medicine and natural remedies, The Silent Passage is an indispensable reference for every woman.

To help women better go through a difficult time in their lives .......2007-07-14
Sheehy claims that her writing of this book was the breaking of silence on a taboo subject. Her aim is to provide information which will help woman better understand what they have been going through. She claims that traditionally women have been poorly informed on the subject. She claims reliance on friends, on mothers does not bring the kind of full knowledge of the subject required.
She provides many stories and examples, and gives a real sense of how varied this 'silent passage' is. A minority of women go through it seemingly without problems, but for some it is wholly unbearable. One question which is central to the book and really unanswered regards Hormone Replacement Theory , and its advisability. Recent studies have pointed to increased levels of cancer of those who have taken the hormones.
Sheehy repeats herself often, beats her own drum, but is a clear writer whose work no doubt has been of real service to many women who have suffered without understanding what exactly they were going through, and why this is not something to feel guilty or be stigmatized about. Sheehy's strong believe that knowledge and understanding can be of great help seems to me correct and fair.
Timeless Classic.......2004-11-24
Those of us approaching or in the midst of our passage into menopause owe a great debt to the pioneering women who lifted menopause out of the dark ages and brought it into the broad light of day. One of these early pioneers was Gail Sheehy. With the exception of her views on Hormone Replacement Therapy (as other reviewers have pointed out) this book offers a lively, energizing, well-researched overview of menopause. I read the original edition about ten years ago and have considered the deeper meaning of the title of this groundbreaking book. "Silent Passage" carries echoes of another revolutionary work, Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson. Silent Spring foresaw a day when pollution would destoy the reproductive cycle of birds, and they would no longer sing their songs. The Silent Passage echoes that notion. It not only implies that in menopause women suffer in silence but also that the clear, vibrant voice of women at midlife and older had been silenced. Now, thanks to pioneers like Gail Sheehy, we are demanding that our collective voices be heard!

NEEDS FURTHER UPDATING..........2003-12-06
This book is an excellent overview of menopause but needs further updating in light of the current controversy over Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The author is still all aglow over HRT, and it is heralded within the pages of this book as if it were the end all, be all for menopausal women. While this was the general prevailing medical view, it seems that further research has put its value in question somewhat, and HRT is now at the heart of some heated medical controversy.
Still, if the reader is aware already of this budding medical controversy over HRT, the book does offer some insights into menopause in an informative and fairly concise fashion. This should prove to be especially helpful to the hordes of baby boomer women who are entering this phase of their lives. The book also provides information into holistic, alternative ways of addressing some of the issues attendant in menopausal women. It appears that nature may provide some palliatives that some women may find preferable to the drug-infused approach of some medical practitioners.
Overall, this is an excellent, well-researched book and one that a lay person can read with ease. It provides interesting insights into the emotional, psychological, and medical concerns of peri-menopausal and menopausal women and discusses some of the remedies that are available, if necessary, to ease women through this major life passage. The book has clearly been a labor of love for the author, and she has endeavored, with success, to remove the mystery that has enshrouded menopause for so long.
I panicked the day I sprung a whisker.......2002-08-30
but I feel better now, and I attribute my new outlook to having read The Silent Passage.
Tells You What Other Women Are Experiencing.......2002-02-19
Chapters are short and easy to read. This book deals not only with the technical aspects that most books do, but primarily with particular women's experiences with those various aspects--especially their feelings. This is what is left out of most of the other books. I recommend this book together with a more techinical book. But if you can only buy one book, buy this one instead. The main thing this book left me with was a feeling that instead of menopause being something that will just happen to me, there are a lot of things I can do, in a proactive sense, to manage the menopause. This is the most positive book I have seen on the subject, and helps me decide about all the questions to discuss with my doctor. Without reading this book, instead of being ready with a list of questions for my doctor, I would have passively listened to whatever he said, and thought that was it.

Why Wasn't This Book a Best Seller?.......2007-08-29
Someone brought this book into work, and the women and men in the office were reading sections to each other and laughing out loud. Even as a middle-aged man, the target of much of the humor, I couldn't help but laugh at how dead-on so much of it was. I don't know how anyone could not find this book funny. And any man able to laugh at himself has got to laugh at this. The "Map of a Man's Brain" alone is worth the cover price. I really don't understand why this book didn't get more attention.
Plenty of laughs..........2003-10-03
I sure can't speak for the other readers here, but I sure laughed while reading this book ... a lot. Solimini has a nice touch and shows a deft command of a variety of subjects, even though the book is supposed to concentrate on male menopause. Unexpected punchlines always get me, like this one on Senator Bob Packwood: "His self-deluded jottings about stealing kisses, trying different hairstyles and tuning out boring lectures sounded oddly familiar. If Packwood hadn't mentioned Phil Gramm, you'd swear the journals were written by Gidget." Now, anyone comparing Packwood to Gidget obviously has a pretty good command of her material. The target audience for this book obviously is a little, shall we say, limited. I wouldn't buy it for someone whose husband just left her because Meg Ryan left a message to call her (even if the message turns out to be from Peg Ryan, his urologist's appointment secretary). And a few men probably have too much pride to open the front cover. ("A book on male menopause. Why would I need that, ho, ho, ho?") But those that do open the book and actually read it, I think, will enjoy it.
Know What This Is.......2002-11-14
This is female version of HOWARD STERN humor. While some of the humor was amusing and even on target, continuous overkill detracted from its readability. Ninety-three pages was more than enough. I threw it away rather than give it to my best male-bashing buddy.
More male-bashing.......2000-08-13
Yet another example of the subtle male-bashing pervading our culture. Yes, there is a male-menopause but it's not humorous, any more than the female version is humerous. There's some good information in here but it is swept away by the derogatory undertones. -sc

Book Description
This first oral history of living Medal of Honor winners evokes Flags of Our Fathers with stirring accounts of patriotic valor.
This epic account of legendary battlefield courage celebrates the larger-than-life sacrifices of those awarded the nation's highest honor for valor in combat. Exclusive interviews with these twenty-four men—firsthand accounts of battlefield sacrifice from the greatest generation to Vietnam, along with before-and-after stories—form the core of this book. The recipients, as portrayed here, represent a cross section as diverse as America itself—officers and enlisted men; African Americans, Japanese Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians; men who went on to become famous (Daniel Inouye, James Stockdale, and Bob Kerrey), and others who returned proudly to small towns in Idaho, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Many of these men are nearing the end of their lives, and their candid and forthcoming recollections make for extremely compelling and emotional reading. Beyond Glory, in the voices of these heroes, thus becomes a work of living history, a testament to the courage of the American nation. 24 b/w photographs.

Beyond Glory.......2005-04-25
Beyond Glory is a book full of the memoirs of Veterans. The Veterans are Medal of Honor recipients who are telling their stories from WWII to Vietnam. This is a book for anyone interested in war related things. Since I like that sort of thing, I found this book to be excellent and worthwhile. The genre of this book is Non- fiction since it is real stories from real people. The author, Larry Smith, went to many living recipients and personally interviewed them to get their stories literally in their own words. That is another thing that makes this book so good. He also used great detail and seemed like he was really there telling you the story. I thought this book was excellently written and very interesting. I would rate it 5 stars out of 5 stars. This, in truth, was one of the best books I have ever read and recommend it to everyone, especially if you are a history buff and like to read about War.
Both the book and the play are terrific!.......2004-04-19
Larry Smith's book brings you the reality of true heroes in their own words, just ordinary folks doing their jobs. Actor/writer/director Stephen Lang's theatrical production of "Beyond Glory" may bring you to tears as you join these men "just doing their jobs" in a most extraordinary way. Lang's transition from character to character is as fascinating as each character's endearing story. The play is currently running in Arlington, VA, at the Women's Memorial Theater now, but Lang hopes to take it on the road to colleges and community theaters across the country.
Beyond Glory....Brought to Life.......2004-04-19
The book is wonderful...especially if you want to read about just people who through circumstances become- whether they want to or not---heros.
If you want to see some of these stories brought to life---from now through May 2, 2004 you can see Stephen Lang (Stonewall Jackson "Gods and Generals") portray eight Recipients interviewed for this book at the Women's Armed Forces Memorial at Arlington Cemetery. (go to www.beyondglory.org) You will witness a performance that will leave quite an impression
Good, Almost Great........2003-08-05
The interviews are ace and remarkable in their clarity and insight. These are let down by the lack of context as to the battle within the wider campaign and a map or two would have enabled the reader to see the landscape and the positions, both would have added to the understanding of the action taken by each of the medal winners. Another example is the cover photo, listed as US Army coming ashore on Tinian Island in the Pacific Islands, which is sort of correct but Tinian is one of the northern Mariana islands (next to Sapian which was a major Marine victory) and was the home of the 509th Bomb Group which lead the atomic raids on Japan, a small detail yet one that would context this good book even better.
Good look at what MOH awardees went through.......2003-07-25
Smith has interviewed twenty-three recipients of the Medal of Honor, and coupled the edited interviews with brief scene-setting passages describing the war and the individual's circumstances. Official citations are appended. Acts for which the Medal was awarded occurred in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Some of the names are familiar-Senators James Stockdale, Daniel Inouye, and Bob Kerry. Most are little-known. They are of varied races, education, and background. Some are eloquent, as is Sen. Kerry on patriotism, guilt and redemption; others are blunt and inarticulate. The one common thread is that they generally consider themselves to be ordinary men who rose to an occasion they did not seek. Several make the point that they are not "winners," since in no sense did they compete for the Medal: they prefer to refer to themselves as recipients of an award. Smith was an editor of Parade Magazine, and his analysis never rises above that level, but the stories of the recipients are powerful in themselves.

Book Description
The Scottish Invention of America, Democracy and Human Rights is a history of liberty from 1300 BC to 2004 AD. The book traces the history of the philosophy and fight for freedom from the ancient Celts to the medieval Scots to the Scottish Enlightenment to the creation of America. The work contends that the roots of liberty originated in the radical political thought of the ancient Celts, the Scots' struggle for freedom, John Duns Scotus and the Scottish declaration of independence (Arbroath, 1320) that were the primary basis of the American Declaration of Independence and the modern human rights movement.

A Revolutionary History of the Origin of Democracy and Freedom.......2006-03-13
The authors' The Scottish Invention of America, Democracy and Human
Rights, has solved one of the most perplexing issues in political
philosophy and history: the origins of democracy.
Historians, political philosophers, scholars in medieval studies and
students of the English and American revolutions have all struggled to
find the origins of democracy and freedom in the ancient and medieval
periods. They have usually made references to the Old and New Testaments
and the Greek-Roman philosophies. But these references have never
satisfied themselves or other persons. Without a strong foundation in
the origins, Anglo-centric English and American historians have resorted
to English Whig theory of the 1600s and particularly the writings of
John Locke to explain freedom. This explanation, however, is faulty as
Locke received his ideas from the Scottish thinkers, i.e., George
Buchanan (1506-1582), John Mair (Major) (1469-1550) and John Duns Scotus
(c.1266-1308). In fact, Scotus was the first thinker to write of the
doctrine of the "consent of the governed" in his Ordinatio prepared in
the 1290s which influenced William Wallace, aka Braveheart, and the
Scottish Declaration of Arbroath of 1320 which influenced the American
Declaration of Independence.
But what threw these Anglo-centric historians off the correct course of
history?? The authors make a very strong argument that it was the Celtic
(and later the Irish and Scottish) focus on and respect for the
individual in their political philosophy and Celtic Christianity that
was the foundation of freedom and the heritage of John Duns Scotus.
Unfortunately, the victors (not the Celts, Irish, or Scots) wrote the
history books, so to speak, and the Anglo-centric historians did not
think "outside the box" and passed on poor history from one generation
of historians to another. The authors' work is a courageous and
brilliant attempt to understand the history of freedom and democracy
from a broader and more complex perspective.
Readers who are interested in the true medieval origins of democracy
should read Chapter 19, "From the Arbroath Declaration to the Scottish
Enlightenment," which discusses the unsuccessful attempts of many
historians to find the origins of democracy in a host of different
medieval writers. These historians have speculated that John of
Salisbury, Marsilius of Padua or William of Ockham et. al. were the true
origins or that the idea of "consent of the governed" was in the "air,"
so to speak, and that John Duns Scotus merely received his ideas from
these contemporaries. The authors, however, comment on each one of these
alternatives and, in a devastating manner, eliminate any possibility of
these options being the true origins of the idea of democracy.
For example, John of Salisbury in his rambling and disjointed
Policraticus, c.1159, argued for regicide against unjust rulers but he
hesitated as to what to place in the stead of the unjust ruler. This is
a perfect example of the difference between regicide and Scotus's
"consent of the governed" - a radical difference. Secondly, William of
Ockham (c.1285-1347/49) was about 12 years old when John Duns Scotus
wrote his Ordinatio in the 1290s. John Duns Scotus did not receive his
brilliant ideas from a 12 year old boy!! Thirdly, Marsilius of Padua's
Defensor Pacis, Defender of the Peace was written in 1320/24 - about two
decades after the Ordinatio of Scotus. Marsililus of Padua
(c.1280-c.1343) was about 15 years old when Scotus wrote his
Ordinatio!!
Readers will want to carefully study Chapter 19 as the authors resolve
the confused history of this period and prove very persuasively that
Scotus did not get his doctrine of "consent of the governed" from ideas
that were in the "air" or part of an on-going debate but that Scotus was
the first to write of his doctrine which was based on Celtic views of
freedom found in the Celts' politics and Celtic Christianity. Scotus
wrote in the 1290s and his ideas spread through Scotland, England and
then Europe. The idea of democracy was in the "air" and Scotus put it
there.
Readers will also want to review the author's website,

Fascinating Subject, Terribly Flawed Work.......2006-03-04
The one thing this volume does well is demonstrate the need for further research on the potential importance of Scottish Enlightenment thinking on the development of the early American republic.
Aside from this, however, the book is a veritable study in manipulating the data to fit a predetermined conclusion. One of the book's grand themes, for instance, is that the idea of democractic freedom is ultimately derived from the ancient celts. The authors make this connection by looking at the influential work of John Duns Scotus, who is indeed one of the earlier thinkers to talk about something that looks like representative government. However, the authors make a grand leap by arguing, essentially, that since Duns Scotus was Scottish, and because his ideas are innovative for the time period in which he wrote, he must have been drawing them from the celtic traditions the authors speak of in the first part of the book. What's left out--and this is curious considering the fact that the authors are attourneys--is the fact that Duns Scotus was one of a number of important thinkers at the time, including others like William of Ockham, John of Salisbury, and Marsilius of Padua, contributing to what is now known as the "conciliar theory," all of whom talk about representative, and even populist, forms of government. The authors, however, leap to their conclusion about the celtic origins of Scotus' ideas without considering the fact that Scotus' work was written as part of what was, for him, a hot contemporary debate throughout Europe. So, which is more likely: the possiblity that Scotus drew his ideas from a distant Celtic past or that he drew them from a contemporary debate among his own colleagues?
Ultimately, the book is a demonstration of what can happen when one tries to interpret medieval texts without adequate knowledge of medieval culture.
Brilliant and creative tour de force.......2006-01-17
The Scottish Invention of America, Democracy & Human Rights is a brilliant and creative tour de force by the distinguished intellectual historians, Dr. A.L Klieforth and Dr. R.J. Munro. Their book will force the historical establishment, particuilarly the Anglo-centric historians, S. Schama, R. Porter, A. Herman, P. Maier, G. Wood and B. Bailyn, to reevaluate the entire history of individual liberty and freedom and give proper credit to the roles played by the Celts, Irish, and Scots in the historical drama.
William Wallace (c. 1270-1305) played by Mel Gibson in the movie, Bravehart, is often seen as an isolated rebel or even a fictional charater. Yet, the historical William Wallace was a representative of the spiritual and intellectual forces of Scotland, particularly the writing of John Duns Scotus (c. 1265/66-1308) and the radical political thought of the ancient Celts and the individualism of Celtic Christanity. Scotus was the first to write of the "consent of the governed" in his Ordinato (c.1290s) that quickly became known in Scotland and was the intellectual and spiritual foundation of Wallace's rebellion (c. 1297-1305) and the Scottish Declaration of Independance (1320). Scotus' theory of human society, grounded in ancioent Celtic traditions, was to revolutionize the thought and pratice of the Western world. The Democratic revolution that began in Celtic Europe and Scotland was the mightiest revolution in the history of the world.
This is a revolutionary work not only for its explanation of the origin of democracy but, secondly, for its explanation of the radicalism of the American revolution. Anglocentric historians failed to realize that the liberty of John Locke and the English Whigs (1660s) descended from the ancient Celts and Scotus through the Scots, Mair Buchanan, Knox and Hutcheson and then spread through the Scottish Enlightenment thinkers to the American founding fathers. Thus, they were not able to explain the Celtic-Scottish "revolution principles" of the founding fathers by references to the theory of Locke and the Whigs which was fundamentally a conservative, "evolutionary" philosophy. Scotus's theory as expressed in the Scottish Declaration of Independence of 1320 was the intellectual foundation of the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence of 1776.
Thirdly, the book's uniqueness is found in its panoramic view of the history of freedom & human rights from 1300 BC to 2004 AD. The authors trace the philosophy and fight for freedom from the ancient Celts to the medieval Scots to the Scottish Enlightenment to the creation of America to the modern human rights struggle. The book also locates the origin of human rights not in Locke but in ancient Celts and the Irish-Scottish human rights treaty, Cain Adomnain, The Law of Innocents, 697 AD.
We are in debt to the authors for thinking "outside the box," creating a contrarian and enlightening view of Wesrern history and opening our minds to the true history of freedom.

Out to Lunch.......2005-11-22
I am deeply worried that rubbish such as this is allowed to go into print. The two authors, neither of whom are historians, do not seem to have the remotest understanding of Scottish history (or American) and make many errors and idiotic statements. In particular, I am utterly gob-smacked that the authors are so dismissive - no, downright rude - when referring to Edward J. Cowan's book, 'For Freedom Alone: The Declaration of Arbroath' - and yet go on to quote large passages from it without proper referencing. Cowan, who is the professor of Scottish History at University of Glasgow in the UK has written a far superior book and deserves more respect from these authors.
All I can say is stick to law, boys, as you know nothing about history!!
The Scottish Invention of America, Democracy & Human Rights.......2004-07-07
This is a book about the birth & history of liberty & freedom from a Scottish viewpoint. Without blowing bagpipes or waving their tartans, the authors set out to prove that democracy & human rights had their roots in Scotland. The case is well made. The authors exhaustively review the impact of the Scots in these two areas. The book begins in 1300 BC and brings us up to 2004.
The authors present strong and compelling proof that the roots of liberty & the struggles for freedom, for individuals and nations, date back to the ancient Celts, followed by the Scottish struggle for independence. The radical political thought
had only been hinted at until the Scots were willing to walk the talk. Less talk, more walk is what you get in The Scottish Invention of America.
Most notably, you will learn there was a lot more to John Duns Scotus than theological papers. In my opinion, he is the backbone for this book, and it would benefit all interested Scots to re-read Scotus or, for the majority of us, to read him for the first time. He was, as the authors so ably point out, "one of the two foremost moral philosophers of the European Middle Ages." The other? Thomas Aquinas. John Duns Scotus championed human rights, individual freedom and basically a government that exists only with the consent of the people, or as we know it today, "of the people, by the people, for the people."
In Latin, Scotus means "the Scot." Born near Stirling Castle in Duns, Berwickshire, he was known as the Subtle Doctor. Scotus "left behind a monumental work in the field of metaphysics..." at Oxford. Sent to Paris to continue his studies, he was expelled from France in 1303 for siding with the Pope in a dispute with Philip the Fair. Allowed to return to Paris in 1305, Scotus went on to earn his Doctorate in Theology and began his professorship. His "academic and scholarly career led to his international reputation as one of the foremost medieval scholastics."
He found himself involved in another brouhaha about his then radical view of the Immaculate Conception. Ironically, the Roman Catholic Church universally accepts his view today. Forced to leave France again, he found his way to Cologne, Germany where he continued to lecture until his premature death at the age of 43. Buried in Cologne, there is this inscription I borrowed from Duncan Bruce's The Scottish 100:
Scotia me genuit, Scotland begot me
Anglia me suscepit, England reared me
Gallia me docuit, France taught me
Colonia me tenet. Cologne holds me
And I would add, the freedom loving countries of this world thank you, John Duns Scotus.
The book does not end with John Duns Scotus. There is much more that deals with new insights regarding The Scottish Invention of America (Part Two) and the Age of Rights of Mankind (Part Three). Space, unfortunately, does not permit further discussion, but any lover of Scottish books will want a copy of this unique book for their library. Any lover of freedom will find this a "must have" book. It is refreshing writing that offers new insights regarding our freedom - as individuals and as a nation. Any serious Scottish student will have a wonderful time with this book. The authors have done all of us a favor by writing it, so do yourself one and purchase it! Klieforth and Munro have included a masterful fifty-page chronology of Celtic, Scottish and American events. That in itself is worth the price of a good book, and this one fits that description. You will spend many enjoyable hours with this publication. Please note: ISBN 0-7618-2791-9. Published by the University Press of America.
