Almost one in ten Americans suffers from some form of seasonal allergy - and almost twice as many have other forms of nasal allergies or "allergic rhinitis." If you are among these fifty million-plus sneezing, sniffling, stuffed-up, red-eyed allergy victims, Jane Brody brings you good news: You don't have to take it anymore. Jane Brody's Allergy Fighter is a clear, compact, completely up-to-date guide to understanding the causes of the allergies that plague you, and the actions that you and your doctor can take now to prevent and relieve their symptoms. Among the topics covered: how allergies happen and what substances cause or exacerbate them; strategies you and your children can use to avoid allergy-causing substances; the peak allergy seasons across the country--and the near-uselessness of current pollen count readings; understanding the vast array of antihistamines, decongestants, and topical sprays, both over-the-counter and prescription--what they can and can't do and their side effects; allergy shots--how they work and when to have them; ways that outdoor exercisers can minimize exposure to allergy-causing substances; and special strategies for treating allergies in children.
As anyone interested in good food and good health knows, Jane E. Brody has been one of the major guiding forces of the revolution in health consciousness that has swept this country in the past decade. Her message has been simple yet profound: good nutrition is vital to good health, and healthful foods can be flavorful and festive, too. In this volume, following her best-selling Jane Brody's Nutrition Book and Jane Brody's Good Food Book, she presents more than 500 new, delicious, and wholesome recipes specifically geared toward entertaining. Some have been suggested by her readers; others have been adapted from recipes devised by noted cooks and food writers; many are Brody family favorites.
Here is another volume from today's most influential writer on food and health, the "New York Times" Personal Health columnist, Jane E. Brody. In this new book, America's authority on great food that is also good food has produced, with her collaborator Richard Flaste, a primer on seafood combined with a collection of delicious recipes. She notes that most of us, when growing up, knew fish in one of two incarnations - fish sticks or tuna on rye. What we didn't know was that seafood comes in an amazing variety of forms, that it is one of the most important low-fat sources of dietary protein available, and that it can be cooked easily, even by "fish novices, " in an almost infinite number of delicious ways that go well beyond the frozen fillets of childhood. Part One is a comprehensive overview of seafood lore that includes chapters on how to select, clean, fillet, and store fish; basic seafood cooking techniques; and a full discussion of seafood safety and the overwhelming health benefits of adding fish to your diet. Part Two is a collection of 240 recipes for hors d'oeuvres and appetizers, soups, salads, and main courses, including special sections on grilling and microwaving.
The Personal Health columnist of The New York Times and best-selling author offers everything there is to know about preventing and coping with colds and flu, including the author's own chicken soup recipe. Simultaneous.
"How do we move actors into the less accessible regions of themselves and release hotter, more dangerous, and less literal means of approaching a role?" Superscenes are a revolutionary new mode of teaching and rehearsal, allowing the actor to discover and utilize the primal energies underlying dramatic texts. In Acting, Archetype, and Neuroscience Jane Drake Brody draws upon a lifetime’s experience in the theatre, alongside the best insights into pedagogical practice in the field, the work of philosophers and writers who have focused on myth and archetype, and the latest insights of neuroscience. The resulting interdisciplinary, exciting volume works to: Mine the essentials of accepted acting theory while finding ways to access more primally-based human behavior in actors Restore a focus on storytelling that has been lost in the rush to create complex characters with arresting physical and vocal lives Uncover the mythical bones buried within every piece of dramatic writing; the skeletal framework upon which hangs the language and drama of the play itself Focus on the actor’s body as the only place where the conflict inherent in drama can be animated.Acting, Archetype, and Neuroscience weaves together a wealth of seemingly disparate performance methods, exciting actors to imaginatively and playfully take risks they might otherwise avoid. A radical new mixture of theory and practice by a highly respected teacher of acting, this volume is a must-read for students and performance practitioners alike.

The Actor’s Business Plan is a self-directed practical guide for actors graduating from formal training programs, as well as for those already in the business whose careers need to move ahead more successfully. Using the familiar language of acting training, the book offers a method for the achievement of dreams through a five-year life and career plan giving positive steps to develop a happy life as an actor and as a person. It assists performers to flourish using the same kind of business/career planning that is a necessary part of life for entrepreneurs and business people. This introduction to the acting industry provides essential knowledge not only for how the business actually works, but also describes what casting directors, agents, and managers do, demystifies the role of unions, discusses how much things cost, and offers advice on branding and marketing strategies. It differs from other such handbooks in that it addresses the everyday issues of life, money, and jobs that so frequently destroy an actor’s career before it is even begun. While addressing NYC and LA, the guide also gives a regional breakdown for those actors who may wish to begin careers or to settle in other cities. It is loaded with personal stories, and interviews with actors, casting directors, and agents from throughout the US. The Actor’s Business Plan is the answer to the common complaint by students that they were not taught how to negotiate the show business world while at school. It is the perfect antidote for this problem and can easily fit into a ten or a thirteen-week class syllabus. Offering support as a personal career coach, empowering the actor to take concrete steps towards their life and career dreams, The Actor’s Business Plan: A Career Guide for the Acting Life is a must-have book for actors who are determined to be a part of the professional world .
Samuel and Jane Brody share their professional and personal experiences with health care and the elderly in a warm, honest, and compassionate manner. There are sure to be several stories with which everyone can identify.

Jane Austen has been read as a novelist of manners, whose work discreetly avoids discussing the physical. John Wiltshire shows, on the contrary, how important are faces and bodies in her texts, from complainers and invalids like Mrs Bennet and Mr Woodhouse, to the frail, debilitated Fanny Price, the vulnerable Jane Fairfax, and the 'picture of health', Emma. Talk about health and illness in the novels is abundant, and constitutes community, but it also serves to disguise the operation of social and gender politics. Behind the medical paraphernalia and incidents are serious concerns with the nature of power as exerted through and on the body, and with the manifold meanings of illness. 'Nerves', 'spirits', and sensibility figure largely in these books, and Jane Austen is seen to offer a critique of the gendering power of illness and nursing or attendance upon illness. Drawing both on modern - medical and feminist - theories of illness and the body as well as on eighteenth-century medical sources to illuminate the novels, this book offers new and controversial, but also scholarly, readings of these familiar texts.

What does it mean to be in this Human Body? That was the question Jane Covernton found when she looked through her poetry over the years...so a body of poetry.
The Body in Music is a groundbreaking music psychology text innovatively marrying perspectives from western music performance practice and pedagogy with those spanning experimental to social research. Founded on a significant heritage of artistic practice, it reinvigorates traditional ideas with fresh knowledge garnered from the burgeoning field of inquiry into the role of the body in generating, communicating, and perceiving performance. An exemplar vignette, crafted from the authors’ shared performance experience, sets the tone for the work, embedding it in an established socio-cultural context. Case-study driven chapters strive to reconcile empirical work and performance practice. Woven together, they form a narrative journeying the multi-dimensional roles of bodily engagement with music performance. This text is timely in that it bridges a widening gap between disciplines, researcher, and practitioner offering pathways of convergence towards developing theory and understanding of the body in music performance.
