Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them: When Loving Hurts And You Don't Know Why
by Susan Forward Joan TorresIs this the way love is supposed to feel? * Does the man you love assume the right to control how you live and behave? * Have you given up important activities or people to keep him happy? * Is he extremely jealous and possessive? * Does he switch from charm to anger without warning? * Does he belittle your opinions, your feelings, or your accomplishments? * Does he withdraw love, money, approval, or sex to punish you? * Does he blame you for everything that goes wrong in the relationship? * Do you find yourself "walking on eggs" and apologizing all the time? If the questions here reveal a familiar pattern, you may be in love with a misogynist -- a man who loves you, yet causes you tremendous pain because he acts as if he hates you. In this superb self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward draws on case histories and the voices of men and women trapped in these negative relationships to help you understand your man's destructive pattern and the part you play in it. She shows how to break the pattern, heal the hurt, regain your self-respect, and either rebuild your relationship or find the courage to love a truly loving man.BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Susan Forward's Toxic Parents.

The New Astrology
by Suzanne WhiteThough the practice of astrology is many centuries old, it is only perhaps once in a generation that a thoroughly new, totally original way of looking at the zodiac is discovered. The New Astrology is such a system. For those convinced that there is nothing new under the sun--or the stars--Suzanne White offers a startling and provocative thesis: There are not 12 but 144 signs of the zodiac, each distinct, each unique, each vital to everyone's quest for self-understanding. By combining the astrological systems of the traditional Chinese (terrestrial) with that of the Occident (celestial), Suzanne White demonstrates that each of us is governed by two signs. Hence, a Capricorn Tiger is likely to be quite different from a Capricorn Cat, as is a Leo Dog from a Leo Dragon, and so on. This unique blend of Western and Chinese Astrology gives a detailed analysis of each of the 144 signs, including individualized sections of love, sex and romance, business, money, careers, home life and compatibility (or lack of it) with other signs.

He explores the ins and out of sugar, from the different types#151;is brown sugar really better than white?#151;to how it is hidden inside our everyday foods, and how it is damaging our health.

The Singing Creek Where The Willows Grow: The Mystical Nature Diary Of Opal Whiteley
by Opal Whiteley Benjamin HoffLong before environmental consciousness became popular, a young nature writer named Opal Whitely captured America's heart. Opal's childhood diary, published in 1902, became an immediate bestseller, one of the most talked-about books of its time. Wistful, funny, and wise, it was described by an admirer as "the revelation of the ...life of a feminine Peter Pan of the Oregon wilderness-so innocent, so intimate, so haunting, that I should not know where in all literature to look for a counterpart." But the diary soon fell into disgrace. Condemning it as an adult-written hoax, skeptics stirred a scandal that drove the book into obscurity and shattered the frail spirit of its author. Discovering the diary by chance, bestselling author Benjamin Hoff set out to solve the longstanding mystery of its origin. His biography of Opal that accompanies the diary provides fascinating proof that the document is indeed authentic-the work of a magically gifted child, America's forgotten interpreter of nature.
