No one book was able to satisfy my research needs, and I ended up writing a two page memo that combined description with prescription in drawing out the best information across all three books (copy posted to OSS.Net Library under Reference). I deeply regret that I did know look into this ten years ago–both men and women need to understand this stuff before they hit 40. A great deal of emotional misunderstanding could be avoiding if *both* men and women absorbed this knowledge early on. Of the three books, this is the shortest, the easiest to read, and the simplist. The other two books that I recommend are Colette Bouchez, “Your Perfectly Pampered Menopause” (2005, the most time-consuming to read, but also the most up to date with some real gems of knowledge), and “Menopause for Dummies” which falls between the two books in utility.
