Richard Foster

The Truth about the Queen of Pinups

Most people know Playboy centerfold Bettie Page as America's greatest pin-up girl. She set hearts ablaze in the 1950s with her bombshell curves, black bangs, and girl-next-door smile. Her popularity rivaled that of Marilyn Monroe. Men couldn't get enough of her photos, but in 1957, at the height of her popularity, Bettie disappeared.

Some feared she had been killed by the mob, others said she became a born-again Christian, ashamed of her infamous bondage modeling. But journalist Richard Foster found Page, interviewing her in 1992 for the fanzine, The Bettie Pages. Continuing his research through investigative reporting, Foster has uncovered little-known facts about Page's lives and loves, gathered from many unknown, overlooked, and forgotten sources. Here is the definitive, unauthorized biography of the Queen of Curves, revealing her struggles for fame and love, and her descent into violent obsession and madness. Kept secret for decades, this is the tale of the decline of America's favorite pin-up queen -- of her years behind the closed walls of institutions, her trial for attempted murder, and her spiral into a paranoid, lonely world populated only by her past glories.

In her nearly forty years of self-imposed exile, Bettie's popularity has grown exponentially. There are many fan publications devoted to her, as well as dozens of home pages dedicated to her on the World Wide Web. Her memorabilia form the basis of a million-dollar trade, her at-once innocent and wicked image is etched forever into our memories. Now, for the first time, fans will discover the real Bettie Page -- her dreams and demons, incarcerations, and heartbreaks.w

A Doctor's 4-Step Program to Treat Autoimmune Disease

The bestselling book with 100,000 copies in print from one of the most sought-after experts in the field of functional medicine, Dr. Susan Blum, author of Healing Arthritis, shares the four-step program she used to treat her own serious autoimmune condition and help countless patients reverse their symptoms, heal their immune systems, and prevent future illness.

DR. BLUM ASKS:
* Are you constantly exhausted?
* Do you frequently feel sick?
* Are you hot when others are cold, or cold when everyone else is warm?
* Do you have trouble thinking clearly, aka "brain fog"?
* Do you often feel irritable?
* Are you experiencing hair loss, dry skin, or unexplained weight fluctuation?
* Do your joints ache or swell but you don't know why?
* Do you have an overall sense of not feeling your best, but it has been going on so long it's actually normal to you?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have an autoimmune disease, and this book is the "medicine" you need. Among the most prevalent forms of chronic illness in this country, autoimmune disease affects nearly 23.5 million Americans. This epidemic--a result of the toxins in our diet; exposure to chemicals, heavy metals, and antibiotics; and unprecedented stress levels--has caused millions to suffer from autoimmune conditions such as Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, lupus, and more.

DR. BLUM'S INNOVATIVE METHOD FOCUSES ON:
* Using food as medicine
* Understanding the stress connection
* Healing your gut and digestive system
* Optimizing liver function

Each of these sections includes an interactive workbook to help you determine and create your own personal treatment program. Also included are recipes for simple, easy-to-prepare dishes to jump-start the healing process.

The Immune System Recovery Plan is a revolutionary way for people to balance their immune systems, transform their health, and live fuller, happier lives.

Alison Weir

By the Wrath of God, Queen of England

Renowned in her time for being the most beautiful woman in Europe, the wife of two kings and mother of three, Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the great heroines of the Middle Ages. At a time when women were regarded as little more than chattel, Eleanor managed to defy convention as she exercised power in the political sphere and crucial influence over her husbands and sons. In this beautifully written biography, Alison Weir paints a vibrant portrait of this truly exceptional woman, and provides new insights into her intimate world. Eleanor of Aquitaine lived a long life of many contrasts, of splendor and desolation, power and peril, and in this stunning narrative, Weir captures the woman - and the queen - in all her glory. With astonishing historic detail, mesmerizing pageantry, and irresistible accounts of royal scandal and intrigue, she recreates not only a remarkable personality but a magnificent past era.
