In contrast to the classic Our Bodies, Ourselves (LJ 2/1/92), which offers a feminist perspective on women's health issues, this current and comprehensive guide presents a more conservative and more clinical view (not surprisingly for a publication linked with the American Medical Association). Compiled by a woman gynecologist and a team of noted physicians, it aims to provide detailed information on a wide variety of topics related to health promotion and illness prevention. Patterned after the American Medical Association Family Medical Guide (LJ 11/15/82, Random 1994. 3d ed.), the book is illustrated with an atlas, flow charts, diagrams, and other aids to self-diagnosis. There are also inserts on "Women's Frequently Asked Questions," "What You Can Do for Your Body Now" (preventive medical advice aimed at four different age groups, from puberty to over age 60), and "One Woman's Story" (first-person accounts). Starting with a general, nontechnical discussion of wellness issues, this reference ends on a more clinical note by providing a review of body systems with essential medical self-diagnosis facts that are well organized and accessible via a thorough index. Although the absence of a bibliography lessens its value as a resource for professionals, the guide gives authoritative advice and reliable medical explanations for female health consumers.
