Guide to Beauty
In this manual on beauty, two doctors - a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist - present all the existing means of enhancing every facet of one's appearance (face, eyes, makeup, hair, legs, breasts, buttocks, weight). The authors review the entire gamut of existing techniques, from the simplest to the most complex. The book is divided into sections: What you can do yourself, What your dermatologist can do and What your surgeon can do. This serious, rigorous study provides scientific arguments to help readers make their way through a plethora of choices in the areas of cosmetics, aesthetic dermatology and plastic surgery. The information given here is straightforward and unbiased by commercial considerations. Le Guide de la Beauté is an attractive, abundantly illustrated book offering a broad panorama of ways of enhancing one's appearance. Jean-Claude Hagège is a plastic and cosmetic surgeon and a member of the International Society of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. Patrice Morel is head of Dermatology at Hôpital Saint-Louis, in Paris.

How to have a good night's sleep
For more than forty years, William Dement has been researching the subject of sleep and of sleep-related problems. According to Dement, if we dont sleep well, we cannot be healthy; but its impossible to sleep well if we dont know what disturbs our sleep patterns, or what we stand to gain from an adequate nights rest. We are careful about our diets and we make sure we get enough exercise. Yet we often forget that it is equally important to sleep well. Sleep is often sacrificed to the demands of our daily lives. Doctors still tend to minimise the physical, emotional and psychological risks that result from a failure to give sleep its due. This fundamental work by a world-renowned specialist enables us to find out how we should sleep, in order to feel better and keep healthy. William C. Dement is a world authority in the field of sleep and in the treatment of sleep disturbances. In the 1970s, he founded one of the earliest centres specialising in the study of sleep at Stanford University, in California. He continues to teach at Stanford. Christopher Vaughan is the author of How Life Begins : The Science of Life in the Womb.
