Elephants are just gentle giants
This is just one beatifuly illistrated and well written book. It is definitely the elephant lovers 'guide to everything you ever wanted to know about elephants.' I've turned my 22 month old grand daughter into a elephant lover. Such screams of delight when she saw this wonderful new book grandma brought home! Such pictures and so much information! We love it.

Essential buy for elephant lovers
This is a magnificent book. I first saw it at my local library. I fell in love with it and ordered a copy for my home library. It is a magnificently produced compendium about elephant knowledge and lore that is probably unique for being contained in one volume. And--you can't beat the price for such a beautiful book. Highly recommended.

A necessity for the newly diagnosed woman.
This is a wonderful book, packed with information, in a very easy to read format. There are 12 chapters:
Facing Breast Cancer; Breast Cancer Basics; Diagnosis and Staging; Surgery; Reconstruction; Radiation; Chemo; Hormonal Therapy; alternative treatments; Clinical Trials; Life after Cancer; A guide for your partner. Each chapter explains what the chapter is about, e.g. What is chemo? How is it given? How it Works. Side Effects. Common Chemo drugs.
This book is unique in that it has testimonials throughout from women, and their partners. It also has terrific drawings. I purchased a LOT of books when I was diagnosed. This was the book that I went to during my chemo and before surgery, to really find out what was going on. It is difficult to know what questions to ask your oncologist or surgeon, when everything is new. This book helps you prepare and should give you the confidence to make treatment decisions about your life. Highly, highly recommended.

The best and most complete book on breast cancer.
If you can only afford to buy one book on breast cancer than this is the one!

This book is packed full of beautiful graphics and pictures of real breast cancer patients and their stories. A true and sensitive approach of their journey with breast cancer.

The medical details presented in this book reveal breast cancer treatment in an easy to understand and concise manner. The medical information is technically accurate and explicit. No book on breast cancer gives as much information in such a concise and precise presentation.

This book deals with all phases of a "breast cancer diagnosis". Included are chapters that highlight how a person deals with the feelings of a breast cancer diagnosis, how to share the news with loved-ones, friends and co-workers, how to create a supportive network, gathering the information needed to make informed decisions, and how to actively participate in the treatment plan.

There is clear information on breast anatomy, cancer cell growth, biopsy, diagnosis and staging, surgical treatment, reconstruction options, chemotherapy and radiation treatments and of course, hormonal therapy. This book also has actual pictures of post-surgical breasts and the results of reconstruction. There is also a chapter about complementary and alternative treatments to assist the patient in battling cancer. The final chapters focus on life after cancer and a special section for your partner.

I recommend this book as a must to every person I know who is facing the challenges of breast cancer, breast surgery and finally for life after cancer.

Beautifully done. Parents of pre-teens and teenagers will find it helpful in explaining this disease to their children.

This book is a companion to an award winning CD-ROM that gives the patient the opportunity to trek on a virtual tour of breast cancer!

If You Only Buy One Book....
A little over 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 3 lobular breast cancer. I was given this book shortly after the diagnosis by a nurse in the hospital where I work. It is the nuts and bolts of breast cancer, from the staging to the procedures with clear drawings, specific detailed information, and personal notations from women who have been where we are. It went everywhere with me-from chemo to radiation and the multiple surgeries I had. With this information, I had to face very few surprises. The drains left in place after the mastectomy are explained in detail. Radiation is presented clearly and realistically. There are photographs and drawing of how the chest looks after a mastectomy. The book takes some of the fear out of cancer treatment and replaces it with knowledge and advice. if you can only afford one book on the subject of breast cancer, this is the one I would recommend.

Well-organized, but doesn't really reveal anything new
Lillian has written several books on Feng Shui and if you're like me, and have read some of the other ones, you'll not really find too much new information in this one.

It's a bit like a handbook, quite useful if you're new to FS, but are familiar with the very basics - but don't expect anything that'll make you go WOW.

Highly Recommeded
The book goes into alot of detail explaining the meaning of the symbols, it also has pictues of most of the symbols Lillian Too writes about. This is a keeper.

Simple to read, easy to understand.
This is an easy to read book on the good fortune symbols of Feng Shui, with tips that are easy to apply. I enjoyed it so much, that I read it twice in two days! The Good Fortune Symbols includes symbols for Wealth & Success, Longevity, Love & Romance etc. It's concise, informative and thoroughly enjoyable!
