For people just developing ringing in the ears or who have had it for a while and don't have a clue what to do about it, this is an enormously useful volume that explains theories of what causes the problem, analyzes various treatment approaches, answers many practical questions, and generally tries to put a positive focus on coping with the psychological aspects. Also contains a very very helpful appendix of resources, support groups, etc. An excellent place to start.

I was browsing the bookstore for books on Tinnitus and found 3 to compare. This one was the most expensive but by far the most informative, laid out in Q&A style in so many categories like hypnosis, drugs, music, etc. What I really liked was that it didn't contain all this "deal with it and relax" ... that you see en masse in other books. The binding and print quality is really nice so you can go back to it and not worry about your investment -- it's a book I'll keep on my bookshelf. It's about 240 pages and is a must read, in my opinion, because you are probably like me and want to know everything you can about something you are reminded about all too often. Here you can pick your topic and read it one area at a time.

Quite possibly the best book ever written for the tinnitus patient. If there's one better, I haven't encountered it since my introduction to tinnitus 32 years ago. It's just that this one covers so much ground, and breaks it all down into such clear, manageable chunks. There's no lost time here: Quickly find and read what applies to you and skip the rest. But be forewarned: Tinnitus Today editor Tabachnick-Sanders writing is so conversational, so informative, that I found myself reading about many topics that did not apply at all to my experience of tinnitus. More importantly, I found answers to questions no G.P., E.N.T. or audiologist has ever been able to answer for me. I also found hope, coming away with the sense that, finally, the research community is seriously pursuing effective tinnitus treatments. That alone was worth the cost. In short, Tinnitus Questions & Answers is well worth punching in that credit card number and clicking "submit."

The 5-star review is entirely correct. Also gives descriptions of appearances at higher and lower elevations. The thinnish book is a bit large (9"x8") for a hiker to keep handy.Our Navajo guide in Canyon de Chelly only knew the Navajo names of the plants; this book gives Latin, common American, and Navajo names, with indices only for the first two.

This carefully produced book contains a wealth of information for those interested in plants used by the Navajo people in their everyday life on the Reservation and elsewhere. Fine color photographs are provided for the 100 plants, and outstanding black-and-white sketches are provided too. Medicinal, spiritual, and common domestic uses of each plant are listed. A good companion publication for those wanting to know more about what plants grow on the Navajo Reservation is NAVAJOLAND PLANT CATALOG, written by Vernon O. Mayes and James M. Rominger and published in 1994 by National Woodlands Publishing Company (e-mail address: nwpc@traverse.com)
