Author: Suzanne Somers

Somersize the fast and easy way and lose weight by eating delicious, home-cooked meals that are perfect for the entire family!
For more than ten years, Suzanne Somers has been preaching, “Fat is your friend and sugar is the greatest enemy!” Her Somersize program lets you shed pounds by eating rich, flavorful foods like meat, cheese, cream, butter, and eggs. Medical professionals are now saying what Suzanne and millions of Somersizers already know—the best way to fight the growing obesity epidemic in this country is a diet higher in proteins and real fats, and lower in sugar and carbohydrates.
More than 3 million readers have lost weight the Somersize way after reading Suzanne’s New York Times bestsellers Eat Great, Lose Weight; Get Skinny on Fabulous Food; and Eat, Cheat, and Melt the Fat Away. Now, in her new book, Fast and Easy, Suzanne makes Somersizing simple, affordable, and fun for the whole family. Whether you are too busy to cook or worried about feeding your family a healthy meal on a budget, Somersizing is the solution. In Fast and Easy Suzanne teaches you what foods your body converts to sugar and why you need to eliminate them. She outlines her weight-loss program for life, where you’ll forget how to count calories, fat grams, or carbohydrates and simply enjoy delicious foods with no weighing, no measuring, no portion control, and no deprivation. Here you’ll find more reasons to Somersize, including:
* How Suzanne’s balanced weight-loss plan is just what the doctor ordered
* How to heal your metabolism from years of yo-yo dieting
* How to convert your body to a fat-burning machine

* How SomerSweet allows you to say good-bye to sugar without saying good-bye to sweets

The Autism Encyclopedia

Author: John T Neisworth

This one-of-a-kind encyclopedia is a clear, comprehensive guide to the wide range of terminology related to autism spectrum disorders. More than 100 respected autism experts have contributed items from various disciplines-including pediatrics, behavior analysis, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, psychiatry, education, psychology, and physical therapy-to bring professionals and parents reliable information on: assistive technology, causes, curriculum materials, diagnosis, early detection, hereditary/environmental causes, legislation, research, sensory difficulties, behavior, classification systems, daily living, diet, education, interventions, medical issues, screening and assessment, signs and symptoms. Synonyms and relevant cross-references are included for the terms, and two appendices describe assessment tools and curricula and list autism-related study centers and organizations. Every professional whose work involves autism spectrum disorders needs a copy of this essential resource-to keep on hand as a daily reference and to share with parents of children who have these complex disorders.

Library Journal

In this first reference book on autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), Neisworth and Wolfe (both special education, Pennsylvania State Univ.) have produced a much-needed resource on terms associated with this disorder. Around 500 entries-ranging from one to three paragraphs-cover topics like diagnoses, therapies, and associated disorders, with numerous cross references. The authors have written the entries in a clear style that makes understandable even the most complicated concepts associated with ASD. For example, the hard-to-grasp concept of mindblindness (also known as theory of mind) is defined as the "difficulty in sensing and appropriately reacting to the beliefs, desires, emotions, and intentions of others." While fairly comprehensive in its coverage, the encyclopedia would have been improved by including profiles of prominent people in the ASD field, including Temple Grandin and Dr. Bernard Rimland. The entries also lack specific references and web sites that would have made the information more useful, though two appendixes list assessment tools and organizations. Bottom Line Despite its minor shortcomings, this is a welcome addition to the literature on ASD that will hopefully be expanded in subsequent editions. Recommended for all public libraries and academic libraries with ASD collections.-Corey Seeman, Univ. of Toledo Libs., OH Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
