Women's Health Handbook

A straightforward, convenient reference, by a London-based doctor who has gone public with frank discussion of women's health issues. She covers the gamut of health, sex, and development topics, explaining what's happening and what to do about problems in each area. This handbook is intended for women of all ages, and its coverage is broad, rather than deep. References to books and websites would have enhanced usefulness. (The listing of contact info for various organizations doesn't quite serve the same purpose.) Like other books from this publisher, it's well designed; photos and drawings support the text.
