Nutritional Bible!!!!.......2007-04-21

Get this book! This is my bible when it comes to nutrition. I have a few other books that I use to compliment this one, but this is my main resource.

His carb load works wonders (endurance althlete, no need to follow his body builder carb load). Since following a lot of his ideas in this book I've become a much more competitive athlete.

THE Sports Nutrition Bible.......2002-09-08

For those of you who are looking to push your health and sports performance to the extreme, this book stands alone as the best in its field.

Dr. Michael Colgan is probably the most well-respected writer and researcher in sports nutrition today, and this book has become the "bible" of the sports nutrition industry. Some of today's most elite athletes, bodybuilders and celebrities have used this book's advice to help them achieve incredible gains in performance and physical appearance.

You don't have to be an elite athlete or celebrity to benefit from this book though. It contains a wealth of information on nutrition, diet and how they affect your health. It covers practically every vitamin, mineral, amino acid, fad health food and sports supplement you can think of, and explains the benefit (or lack thereof) of each.

While many clinical terms are used in the book, his advice is still understandable for the average person. A true classic of its time.

There are better, more current books around..........2002-02-22

I bought this book in the early 90's, soon after it was first published. I was a regular reader of Colgan's monthly column in Muscular Development magazine at the time, so I bought the book.

The good points of Colgan's book are his descriptions of what is wrong with much of our food supply- the adding of hormones and antibiotics to our meat supply, the chemicals abundant in our water supply-and his suggestions for dealing with the problems, e.g. water filters, range-fed beef and chicken etc.

His explanation of why a post-workout drink is so important is excellent.

However his nutritional prescriptions are a victim of the 'low-fat, high-carbohydrate' diet myth that was so fashionable in the 80's and early 90's, but is increasingly being challenged by both research and the enormous number of people who are discovering the benefits of lower carb eating.

Colgan spends much time debunking 'establishment myths' - but ironically buys into their biggest myth of all - that the key to health and fitness is a high-carbohydrate, low-fat, grain-based diet. He recommends a food pyramid that, just like the government's, places grains and legumes at the base and states they should be the foundation of any healthy diet. He is either unaware, or evades the fact, that grains and legumes were not even a part of the human diet in any meaningful quantity in man's diet until about 10,000 years ago. The robust hunter-gatherers got on fine for two million years without them. Grains and legumes contain allergenic proteins,and anti-nutrients like phytates which bind to minerals and prevent their absorption.

There are several studies showing low-carb, high fat diets to improve endurance, in many cases more effectively than high carb diets (you won't read about these in Colgan's book though, so you may want to log onto Medscape and do a search).

I followed the bland diet Colgan recommends in his book for several years, and eventually got sick of the continual fluctuations in energy, the bloating, and the other insulin-induced effects of his 'healthy' high carb diet.

I now follow a higher fat, lower carb diet, employing the principle of carb-cycling, and my endurance has never been better, not to mention my overall energy and mental focus.

Colgan also recommends several supplements in the book which have not lived up to their hype. OKG is a good example -a very expensive supplement that came and went pretty quickly.

There are far better, and more current resources available for those who would like to learn about athletic eating and training. 'Natural Hormonal Enhancement' by Rob Faigin is a great book,(if you are trying to build muscle or recover from intense training ignore the author's comments about post workout carb intake). I particularly like paleolithic nutrition, with slight adjustments it is great for athletes, see 'Neanderthin' by Ray Audette. Atkins is definitely worth a read for his analysis of high carb diets and insulin disorder, but I don't consider some of his food choices ( his much-maligned pork rinds for example!) to be optimal. For training, books by Poliquin, Bompa, Siff and Verkoshansky, and Zatsiorsky are highly recommended. Pavel Tsatsouline's books contain some useful tidbits, though they are a little thin for the price. Young bodybuilders with good recovery ability might want to check out 'Big Beyond Belief' by Leo Costa, this book has helped a lot of people put on a lot of muscle. Also the online strength mags Testosterone and Intensity are a great source of training info.

Optimum Sports Nutrition : Your Competitive Edge.......2002-01-09

simply the best nutrition book available! humerously written, even a complete novice would enjoy and understand.

Most sane book on nutrition for athletes.......2001-12-04

This is the most sane book on nutrition. There are no fad diets, and no crazy anecdotal recommendations, just scientifically based advice to enhance your athletic performance. If some supplement has marginal or unclear scientific evidence he points it out. If there are any concerns with a supplement he lists them. The correct level of supplementation is also defined according to scientific test results. Colgan is very forthright and his integrity comes through. I recommend and loan this book to all my athletic friends and they always have to buy a copy. In Optimum Sports Nutrition Colgan helps athletes seperate the truth from the anecdotal hype. I've read several of his other books and found them to be most helpful for anyone concerned with health and nutrition.

Book Description

Spanish-speaking patients are no rarity in United States hospitals and clinics, as many English-speaking health care providers have discovered. To help these providers better communicate with the patients they serve, Ana Malinow Rajkovic has prepared the Manual for (Relatively) Painless Medical Spanish, a lively and innovative self-teaching guide to the grammar, pronunciation, and medical vocabulary of Spanish.

Presented in a systematic and highly entertaining fashion, twelve lessons cover some of the most commonly encountered situations. These include the family clinic, the emergency room, appendicitis, the social chat, pregnancy, family planning, pelvic inflammatory disease and urinary tract infection, depression, children with asthma, patients with angina, explaining a venipuncture and a spinal tap, and patients with shortness of breath. Each lesson closes with a bilingual interview that includes vocabulary and grammar introduced in that lesson. A guide to the medical history and physical examination appears in English and Spanish in the appendix.

Excellent in the classroom or for independent learning, the Manual will enable health care providers better to understand and supply the needs of Spanish-speaking patients.

great product.......2007-04-06

So far I'm only 1/3 of the way through but I already feel like I've learned a ton of medical spanish. It's very easy to go through on your own and the author's jokes and light-hearted tone keep you wanting to go through more. I definitely recommend this book if you're a medical student, doctor, nurse, etc. and in need of some basic-to-intermediate Spanish skills.

DRAFT 1.......2003-06-03

I am a medical interpreter in a large hospital. I still consider this book to be in its draft form. There are spelling and grammar errors in both the Spanish and English. The format looks like it was type set with an ancient word processor. Before you purchase this manual check it out at your local bookstore, however if you still decide to purchase it do so on amazon.com so that you save enough money to buy a better one later.

No Pain No Gain.......2003-04-17

I recently joined a Medical/Surgical expedition to Peru. This book was invaluable in giving me a quick overview of spanish before this trip. I recommend it very highly!! It not only helped me with communicate with Peruvian physicians and patients but it has also stimulated my desire to continue the study of spanish for future use.

Good book for individual learning.......2002-09-08

I am a Spanish/English bilingual medical student who teaches a course in Spanish for medical students. This book is an excellent text for students and workers in the allied health professions to learn to communicate with Spanish-speaking patients. The book takes a subject which is inherently boring (learning a language) and makes an excellent effort at spicing it up. The author uses humor appropriately (a lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained), and practical examples to drive lessons home.

That said, I chose not to use this book for my course because it does not lend itself well to group instruction. While I recommend it as an additional reference to my students, I would recommend that medical Spanish instructors review other books that might include group exercises and better facilitate lesson planning.

Can't Miss.......2002-07-19

Remember the teacher you loved? No way you would have failed that class, right?
The same will be true of Ana Malinow's medical-Spanish course.
The vocabulary is relevant. (The author is an M.D. and a native Spanish speaker.) The grammar is designed for communication, not parsing. The teacher is gently funny on every page, and forgiving of every failure except failure to try.
"Remember to open your mouth wide," she advises regarding Spanish pronunciation. "You cannot have marbles in your mouth when you speak Spanish. (You will have to find another place for them.)"
You will wish Ana Malinow were in the room. Her book is the next-best thing.

Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation

ASIN: 3937946004

Book Description

Hip hop culture emerged from an environment of extreme deprivation and decay in the South Bronx, New York City. The concept of pure invention-of creating something from nothing-was in full effect at the end of the 1970s as graffiti ("borrowed" spray paint), breaking (cardboard as dance floor), and outdoor jams (electricity source: the base of street lights) captured the attention of urban youth, coalescing into new forms of artistic expression. Fortunately, photographer Martha Cooper was at the right place at the right time to document the people that created the music, dance, and art that became known worldwide. Cooper followed people who would one day become icons: the Rock Steady Crew, Fab 5 Freddy, DURO and DONDI, LADY PINK, and Afrika Bambaataa, to name a few. Now, Martha Cooper has the reputation of being the first and foremost photographer of hip hop culture in New York City. While the publication of Cooper's photographs in the early 80s disseminated the culture both at home and abroad, her new book, Hip Hop Files: Photographs 1979-1984, makes a significant part of her extensive and unique archive accessible for the first time. From 1999 to 2003, the German hip hop head and music publisher Akim Walta tracked down the subjects in Cooper's legendary shots and conducted numerous interviews obtaining insightful quotes and statements to accompany and add voices to the photographs. Other members of the early hip hop scene, including ZEPHYR, Charlie Ahearn, FABEL, and Patti Astor, contribute text and essays, adding fresh data to the growing body of hip hop history. "Marty's pictures capture the exact moment when hip hop traveled from the Bronx uptown, downtown to the Manhattan nightclub and gallery scene. The photos and movies were suddenly in the works and (through her pictures) "discovered" by the press and then seen by the rest of the world." (Charlie Ahearn)

This is REAL Hip Hop!!!!!.......2005-11-29

Being from this era,this book brings back a ton of great memories.The photos in this book are amazing,so crisp and vibrant.It doesn't seem like it was 2o+ years ago.This book will explain to you what is REAL HIP HOP(MCing,Breaking,Graffit},NOT the garbage they consider Hip Hop today.Looking at these photos it's hard to believe how young we were.Seeing old friends and classmates put a big smile on my face knowing that WE were there when it all started!GREAT book Marty!!!!!!

Terrific book.......2005-10-10

I loved this book! The photographs are powerful, and you can't find anything even close to their documentary quality anywhere else. The text is also interesting and includes quotes from a variety of people--the author, the hip hop performers themselves, and other scholars.

Fabulous resource.......2005-08-12

I lived in NYC in the 70's and 80's and witnessed the rise of subway graffiti and the beginnings of break dancing. This book brings it all back -- in a GOOD way. Reading it, you can understand why poor urban kids went to such lengths to make a mark for themselves. No one cared at first but Martha Cooper, who earned their respect and documented their achievements with her fine photographs. This book is a monument to those unsung teenage artists and the photographer who recognized and publicized their talents.

dont sleep get it while you can.......2005-03-15

i got this book not long ago,i have alot of graff and hip hop books and this is one of the best.it never drags on for to long on one subject.it has basically put like ten graff and hip hop books into one then they took out the bull###t and left us with one dope book.highly recomemened..

IS MARTHA COOPER THE ORGINAL QUEEN OF HIP HOP?.......2005-02-08

Indeed, the handsome Book "the Hip-Hop Files: Photographs, 1979-1984" by Martha Cooper serves as a an open and closed door to what seemed a trend to many documentarians during the late 70's and early 80's. It isn't no coinsidence that Coopers photographs document Graffiti art during a period when the NY Art World was exploiting Urban aerosal artists. It is also very clear that she stopped documenting Graffiti when the "trend" ended in 1985. Though Coopers work documents a moment in time when aerosal art was King and Hip Hop was not yet a corporate advertisement, she does come off as an outsider/tourist when asked about documenting Graffiti, "I'm sure wildlife photographers feel the same way" about photographing animals when they run around. There is also the claim, by her publisher and graff-artists that she was the first photographer to document the origins of Hip-Hop. Jamell Shabazz's book "Back in The Days" never made such a claim nor did it need the fanfare that Coopers book fabricated. Jamell Shabazz,like Debra willis, Martin Chambi and James VanDerZee, documented a personal life and environment in New York before and after the trend came and went. Something to keep in mind!
