Not for me by hd (fairfield) 2 Stars
December 30, 2008
I took a class based on this author's work - it was great. But the book I found fairly useless. I was hoping there would be more attention paid to different weight lifting exercises but that was a very small part of the book. It was more about her opinions on bones which I found irrelevant for me. I am not a big western medicine fan but if you are then you might enjoy this book. I gave it away.

Just what the MD told me by Jeanette Ewing (Panhandle, TX) 4 Stars

Strong Book by Heather Dubov (Allentown Pa) 5 Stars
August 17, 2008
I am one of those many young (-ish...44) women who appear to be in good shape but walk around with osteopenia and most of the risk factors for osteoporosis. This book was written in simple-to-understand English, based on sound modern research. It gave me a place to start my quest to get stronger. I am buying it for many of my girlfriends.

Elementary, my dear by Happy Feet (Camp Hill, PA) 3 Stars

If you're new to the topic of osteoporosis, this looks like a good starting point. But if you've been staying up-to-date by reading articles and talking to health professionals and people who've been diagnosed, you'll already know most of what's in this book.
