A Wrinkle in Time
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. "Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. .

The Yoga Face: Eliminate Wrinkles with the Ultimate Natural Facelift
To keep their faces looking younger, women today try everything from invasive procedures such as plastic surgery and Botox to expensive cosmeceuticals. "Yotox" is a new and completely natural alternative anti-aging regimen that women can do anytime and anywhere-and in just minutes. The exercises, developed by yoga expert and instructor Annelise Hagen, are based on a simple principle: The muscles of the face are no different from the muscles of the rest of the body. If you don't exercise the muscles below the neck, they become weak and flabby, and the same thing will happen to your face with age. Just as yoga routines work the muscles in the body, the stretches and movements in Yotox tighten and tone the face muscles-and combat wrinkles. "Working out" with fun facial exercises such as the Louis Armstrong "Satchmo," the Marilyn Monroe "kiss," and the "Lion Face," readers will notice changes quickly; and over time, the results are dramatic. Illustrated with more than seventy-five instructive photos throughout, Yotox offers an easy, safe, and effective solution to help women turn back the clock and have beautiful, young-looking skin..

Ageless Face, Ageless Mind: Erase Wrinkles and Rejuvenate the Brain
In this revolutionary book, bestselling author and anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone reveals a completely new and hidden threat to our looks and our health–and gives us a program to defeat it. Dr. Nicholas Perricone has gotten to the bottom of accelerated aging with the discovery of AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products). AGEs are at least as detrimental to our health as transfats but have been largely unknown outside the medical community. AGEs give us wrinkles, but they have also been implicated in serious age-related conditions that cut across all medical specialties, from Alzheimer’s and cataracts to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Yet we have not had strategic interventions for stopping and reversing the effects of AGEs until now. Dr. Perricone shows us how to win the fight against AGEs with a three-part plan of attack that includes a nutritional program, targeted supplements, and new topicals. His groundbreaking program helps to • erase wrinkles and firm sagging skin • reverse age-related memory loss • heal cardiovascular disease • stop precursors of cancer • prevent symptoms of diabetes Ageless Face, Ageless Mind brings us not only a new and exciting field of research and its remarkable discoveries, but also a way to fight one of the biggest hidden threats to our immediate and long-term health..

The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin
"Plastic surgery isn't the only way to keep the aging process at bay.With the proper care you can have fabulous skin in your forties, fifties,sixties and beyond," promises author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., assistantclinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine. In hisopening chapters, Perricone explains why skin wrinkles and sags--a combinationof factors including the passage of time, stress, poor nutrition, excess alcoholconsumption, sleep deprivation, and exposure to cigarette smoke, sunlight, andpollution. Ultimately, however, it all boils down to damage caused by thoserenegade free radicals.The bulk of his book is then devoted to a clearly presented skin care regimenthat involves oral and topical antioxidant therapy. On the oral front, heemphasizes eating antioxidant foods, such as cantaloupe and dark green leafyvegetables, and avoiding "bad carbohydrates" (high in the glycemic index) suchas pasta, sugar, and pancakes. And if you want to look good for a big eventwithin a few days he suggests eating "fish, fish and more fish."On the topical level, he recommends nutritional skin products such as his DMAE(dimethylaminoethanol) cream ("an instant anti-aging face-lift"), a product thatcan only be purchased at specific places, such as selected Nordstrom stores orwww.Sephora.com. Perricone's tie-in with his personal line of "cosmeceuticals"makes the book feel a tad self-serving. (He even includes an index of where tobuy his products.) However, most of his advice is based on solid research andcommon sense, which gives this celebrity doctor credibility as well as a hugefollowing. --Gail Hudson.
