BLURBAGE

From a few of our newest titles:

Diabetes Rising: How a Rare Disease Became a Modern Pandemic, and What to Do About It, Dan Hurley. Kaplan Publishing, 2010.

"Diabetes Rising takes on the fastest-growing disease in history with a take-no-prisoners attitude. You've got to love the author's pugnacity...Not willing to live with the enemy, he wants to kill it in its crib."
                  -- Chris Matthews, Host of Hardball with Chris Matthews

Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture, Peggy Orenstein. Harper Collins, 2011.

"...And how dangerous is pink and pretty anyway...? Being a princess is just make-believe, after all; eventually they grow out of it. Or do they?"
                  -- from the dust-jacket


Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy, Martin Lindstrom. Crown Business, 2011.
Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy
"If you want to learn to cut through marketers' phony health and wellness claims and make smarter desicions about both your body and your money, you need to read this eye-opening book."

                  -- Dr. Mehmet Oz, Coauthor of
                     You: The Owner's Manual
