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 most difficult to read and best read last, but it is also the most up-to-date and the “must buy” book if you buy only one. However, I do recommend the other two books be bought and read first, starting with The Menopause Survival Guide: Surviving the Change of Life (the shortest and simplist), and Menopause For Dummies (For Dummies (Health & Fitness)).
