The menopause book : the complete guide - hormones,… par Pat Wingert
Some of the information might have been useful to me several years ago. However the book is both boring and repetitive. It moves on into areas that are general aging and have little or nothing to do with menopause. It makes assumptions about behaviour based on culture, not science. (Be glad if you lose genital hair, because you will need less bikini waxing.) I also saw several factual errors.
I really enjoyed this book. It’s very similar in design to What to Expect When You’re Expecting. I found the layout of the book very easy to follow and read. It provides just enough information as an introduction to the chapter topic to help the reader get an idea of what is coming next. This introduction is then followed by questions from women - and answered by the authors - pertaining to the topic at hand. These questions work to instruct its readers in what to expect at the menopause stage of the life cycle. They also provide little tidbits of history and other useful tips regarding how to travel through menopause. This format is repeated throughout the chapters and book allowing the reader to pick the book up and start reading wherever they need to.
There was much research done for this book including the authors’ attending seminars, scouring through copious articles, interviewing the best people in the field and spoke at length to “real people” such as “...friends, friends of friends, neighbours, colleagues, members of our book clubs, church sodality groups, even the occasional unlucky soul who sat next to us on” aeroplanes.… (plus d'informations)
A very easy to read. The book's subject is on something all women face and should know a little about. I am getting close to this age but am not quite there; however, it helped me to understand some things that are going on in preparation for the 'event'. Point being it is a book for all ages (once you start) no matter where you are in your stage of life. It covers so many more topics than just menopause and should be read by all women. The more we are informed, IMHO, the longer we live.
