BARBARA KANTROWITZ and PAT WINGERT at Cody's Books February 1, 2007

Thursday, February 1 & Friday, February 2
BARBARA KANTROWITZ and PAT WINGERT come to the rescue with IS IT HOT IN HERE? OR IS IT ME? The Complete Guide to Menopause. At last! The “what to expect” for when you are no longer expecting. Award-winning Newsweek journalists Pat Wingert and Barbara Kantrowitz have created an accessible, authoritative, reassuring, up-to-the-minute, and comprehensive must-have reference, exactly what women need as they make their way through this bewildering but inevitable life transition. Friends as well as frequent collaborators, Wingert and Kantrowitz have co-written dozens of cover stories for Newsweek; they also write the popular “Her Body” health column on Newsweek.com. With a foreword by Bernadine Healy, M.D., former Director of the National Institutes of Health, further validating the material, IS IT HOT IN HERE? offers a balanced but deeply optimistic resource for women in their forties-to-sixties. Combining solid reporting, thorough research, and a good dose of humor, the authors answer hundreds of real-life questions to help women understand the wide range of “normal” experiences and why there’s so much variation from woman to woman. The result is a wonderfully organized – The Basics, What You’re Feeling Now, Staying Healthy Forever – treasury, absolutely indispensable. We’re so excited about this new book that we’re delighted to host its authors not once, but twice: on Thursday, February 1 at 7:00 PM at Cody’s Stockton Street, San Francisco, and again on Friday, February 2 at 7:00 PM at Cody’s Fourth Street, Berkeley. Don’t forget your list of all your questions – these discussions are a perfect place for them, and for answers!
