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.

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
June 04, 2007
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.
