Book Description
Congratulations, you middle-aged baby. Look what you've grown-baggy arms and knee flaps! And is that a new tooth-or just a lovely cap? And what month did the new hair come in across your ears? A tongue-in-cheek celebration of middle age in the form of a traditional fill-in baby book, my middle-aged baby book is a perfect keepsake for both women ("Is it hot in here or is it just me?") and men ("remember, it's prostate, not prostrate"). It's an irreverent take on the shared symptoms of growing older. Beginning with vital statistics (car phone number, cholesterol count), it provides a permanent place to record memorable Firsts--first liver spot, first espousal of conservative opinions-and a place to remember favorite toys such as the Jeep, rowing machine, and the big screen TV with VCR. There's a middle-aged baby's Horoscope, Favorite Nursery Rhymes, and The Seven Stages on Men's Hair Loss. Thoughtfully printed on anti-glare paper, in large, easy-to-read type, the book is illustrated throughout in full color. Paper over board, Full-color illustration throughout, 96 pages, 8" x 8" .Customer Reviews:
Irreverent? Yes. But Hilarious!.......2006-12-10

A Great Gag Gift for Those 45-65.......2000-07-15
Almost every parent has filled out one of those baby books that includes birth time, weight, pictures from the hospital, first birthday party, favorite toys, and so on. Why shouldn't the middle aged have one, too? . . . Especially since their memories may be going, and this will be the only way to record their lives to remember what happened.
The satire is quite complete. Almost all of the baby book sections are put into a middle-aged context humorously for this version.
To begin setting the mood, the cover is padded like a baby book often is.
The author's acknowledgments include middle-aged amnesiacs who helped, the editor (Ruth . . . ?), gastroenterologist (Dr. Henry . . . ?), and husband ( . . . ?). If only she could remember their names!
You have a chance to make your own family tree (with humorous asides about the people on it), note your memorable firsts (colonoscopy, reading glasses), tell whether you are a girl or a boy ("Do you spend most of your time in front of the toilet, running water, or naked on the lawn, rolling in snow?"), describe your teething history (which ones are dead, bridges, implants, gold crowns, bonded, capped, and gone?), date important fashion firsts (when you gave up spandex, threw away your bikini, and started wearing shirts out of your pants), and put in samples of your hair (both colored and uncolored versions).
The book also has many humorous essays like the history of solid foods and weight (1993 -- Oprah loses 60 pounds. Pavarotti gains it.), I Forget, and Why? There are also middle-aged versions of many well-known nursery rhymes.
You can also add your favorite expressions (like, Where are my glasses?).
If you give this as a birthday gift, the birthday girl or boy can put in key facts of that day such as the price of a standard facelift in that year.
At the end, you'll find a living will. It gives your relatives authority to plant you when the time comes.
Even if you don't have the nerve to give this to anyone else, you should get a copy for yourself. It's the most humorous thing I've ever read about becoming middle-aged!
Get rid of your misconception stalls about middle age not being funny.

Diseases of the Gallbladder and Bile Ducts: Diagnosis and Treatment
John Baillie , and Paul Suhocki Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing, Incorporated ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0632044780 |
Book Description
'This book is unique in that the lead editor, Professor Okuda, is one of the world's best known hepatologists and his expertise is combined with that of some top radiologists. The result is a book that uses radiology to explore the pathophysiology of diagnosis of liver diseases. The book covers the full range of hepatobiliary disorders in a systematic fashion. While the focus is on imaging and the information that can be gleaned from it, epidemiology, aetiology, clinical features, treatment and prognosis are also discussed, allowing the reader to consider each disease in context. The main market for this book includes hepatogastroenterologists, and trainees in gastroenterology and hepatology. However it will also be useful for trainee radiologists who want to correlate their understanding of radiology with disease processes.Concise chapters give specifics on clinical diagnosis and management

Book Description
Congratulations, baby boomers: You are now officially all middle-aged. It’s a book of firsts: My first colonoscopy, my first reading glasses.

It’s a place to keep track of primary care givers—herbalist, psychopharmacologist. Record favorite expressions—I’m having a senior moment. Dressing on the side, please. 60 is the new 50.

There’s also a place for a lock of hair (if you can spare it) along with the Seven Stages of Hair Loss (men: from minoxidil to shaves head; women: from plucks grey hairs to dyes it champagne blond). Plus essays—“Am I Smiling or Is It Gas,” and “I Go to School,” a parody of Adult Ed classes.Customer Reviews:
