According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, 43% of women in America - of all ages - suffer from sexual dysfunction. But doctors have generally dismissed these complaints, telling women their problems are just in their heads or something they have to accept. Dr. Jennifer Berman is one of the few female urologists in the country; Dr. Laura Berman is a sex therapist. Together these sisters run the Women's Sexual Health Clinic at Boston University Medical Center - the first in the country to offer comprehensive physiological and psychological treatment of female sexual dysfunction. In their research and clinical work, the Bermans have learned that many of the same physical problems that cause impotence in men can cause dysfunction in women. Many women also experience diminished sexual response after aging and menopause, or after hysterectomies or other pelvic surgery. In this book the Drs. Berman give women of all ages the information they need to understand what's going on with their bodies and what treatments are available in order to achieve more fulfilling sex lives.

Not For Women Only: Short Stories for a Lazy Day By: Albert Zygier Albert Zygier is a retired graphic designer with a passion for writing short stories as well as painting landscapes and still life in water soluble oils. (Much easier for clean up.) It wasn’t till he joined a writers group that he decided to put his stories together for a book. His stories are about romance, adventure, history, and a war. They are sad and poignant and funny. They are about how people meet and how they fall in love. We have civilians, we have soldiers, we have young and old. Zygier was born before WWII in Poland (Poproszę kanapkę Kielbasa) and when the Nazis invaded, he and his parents escaped into Russia (Borsht pozhalusta?) From there, we were sent to an intriguing little country called Tajikistan. (Iltimos bitta choy?) In New York City’s School of Industrial Art, he majored in cartooning and after graduation joined the US Army where he spent a year and a half in Korea, (Kimchi, anyone?) there, he contributed a number of cartoons for the local Army Newspaper the Seoul Times. For the rest of his tour he was assigned to the 1st Armored Division, in Ft Polk, La. (Shrimp and Grits y’all?) Albert Zygier lives in New York City (Bagels and lox.) with Ellen, his wife of 56 years, a daughter Roni, and granddaughter Annie who one day will be a Broadway Star.

REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION Discover the Truth He Wants You to Know The man in your life carries important feelings so deep inside he barely knows they’re there, much less how to talk about them.

Have you ever wondered why the Bible contains certain specific elements, such as the proliferation of the numbers seven or ten? Or why Peter and Andrew caught specifically 153 fish when Jesus told them to put their net on the opposite side of the boat? I wondered. That curiosity led me to a bigger change in my understanding of scripture than I could have imagined. It literally revolutionized my bible study practice. I am going to let you in on the secret. It is learning to see Scripture through more of a Jewish mindset. Jesus was Jewish, and so was the majority of his audience and the majority of the authors that wrote the Bible. That culture is far different from ours. Therefore it behooves us to attempt to learn something of what Jesus Christ and writers of the word meant when they penned their words. As a serious student of the word, I have spent over twenty years examining and teaching on God's marriage covenant from that perspective. Many of the theories we have been taught about prophecy, the rapture, or lack thereof are brilliantly clear in meaning when we look at them through eyes that understand Jewish culture and the true meaning of the concept of covenant in Hebrew.
