With each passing year the medical establishment is costing us more and delivering less. Degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are on the upsurge. Iatrogenic disease (caused by drugs and the medical establishment) has become one of the nation's leading causes of death. Malpractice suits are rampant.

The public is becomng increasingly aware of these facts, increasingly disturbed, and searching for alternatives. As disillusionment with the old grows, a new medicine-holistic healing-is being born. Holistic healing looks at the entrie body and personality and seeks wellness as the goal, not thus the relief of the symptoms of illness.

Wellness is a guide to the whole range of holistic health and healing. It covers a wide field, from disciplines that have become generally accepted such as natural childbirth and acupuncture to ones still considered far out such as herbalogy and radiesthesia. eAch major section and subsection starts with a brief essay, explaning the subject and putting it n its proper setting. The bulk of the obook ocnsists of thoughtgully written critical reviesws and descriptions of tsome 1500 books on all aspects of holistic healing. It is thus both a complete guide in itself and a source book to further reading.

Cris Popenoe is manager of the Yes! Bookshop in Washington, DC-the largest suorce for books on holsitic healing in the U.S. Her first Yes! Bookshop Guide, Books for Inner Development, was highly acclaimed by the critics!

'A vast treasure chest...it is a work to be read as well as consulted.'-Booklist

'The Yes! Guide is definitely not a book that one reads through quickly and puts back on the shelf; it is rather a book to savor slowly, one of those books that can be opened at any page, thumbed through until an item or a topic catches the eye. It is a book to spend time enjoying and learning from. It is a book to own.'-Yoga Journal
