"It is, in a sense, a prose AENEID, written with so much economy and constraint that the reader is only aware at the end that he has been following the wanderings of a hero." -Andrew Nelson Lytle, New Republic (1934)

A minor classic that is too often overlooked. The pure aesthetic beauty and simplicity of Gordon's language is a revelation.

This highly regarded but not widely known masterpiece chronicles the life of Aleck Maury from his earliest forays into opossum hunting and flyfishing to his latter days of quail hunting and fishing in old age. His lifelong quest of excellence in the field conflicts with his commitments to family and social responsibility. The novel is based on the author's father. Ms. Gordon was the wife of Allen Tate, the noted literary critic and poet. The Agrarian context and concerns of Tate are evident in her work, though her writings are unique. She shows herself here and in her other novels to be a master of her craft.

This book is a must for anyone who is SERIOUS about their health and the health of their loved ones. Thanks Doctors Anderson and Breecher! I particularly enjoyed reading "Maury's Diary" on page 206. Your advice on melatonin has given me the restful sleep I've been missing for years. Keep up the good work

This book clearly explains what antioxidants are and what they do to protect health (and how they do it). Dr. Anderson promises and appears to deliver a disease-reversal program that targets those with specific illnesses. These well-credentialed authors take the mystery out of what antioxidants and amounts to take. They do this by tailoring their recommendations to 3 possible health states: Good health that you want to maintain; Good health but risk factors such as diabetes or other genetic illnesses in your family, and lastly, poor health or chronic illness. Naturally those that are sick are counseled to consider taking a wider variety of antioxidants, including Melatonin. Regardless of the title, the authors don't believe antioxidants are "magic bullets," however they do believe antioxidant supplemenTS, coupled with other health-enhancing steps (the Program promised in the title), will help stave off or moderate diseases including cancer, cardiovascular ailments, and diabetes. The authors back their recommendations by citing and explaining numerous, current studies. Publisher's Weekly, in a review,pointed out that the book's glossary "is particularly useful." It is good, but I especially appreciated the recommendations about soy protein and other phytochemicals. It's worth the money
