Build Your Running BodyA TOTAL-BODY FITNESS PLAN FOR ALL DISTANCE RUNNERS, FROM MILERS TO ULTRAMARATHONERS—RUN FARTHER, FASTER, AND INJURY-FREEPete Magill, Tom Schwartz, and Melissa Breyer

Runners define their workout by pace and mileage, entrusting gadgets to track minutes-per-mile, and using terms like tempo and interval to indicate faster speeds. But what if this approach has been all wrong? Mileage and pace aren’t activities—they’re measurements. Build Your Running Body goes past the gadgets and the measurements, and sticks to what matters: muscles, connective tissue, the cardiovascular system, and the neuromuscular system—with step-by-step instructions for strengthening each one. Just as weight lifters target muscle groups, this book isolates individual running components to help runners achieve whole-body fitness.

• Includes tips on preventing and recovering from injury, building a running diet, preparing a race strategy, and buying proper apparel

• Helpful sidebars in each chapter define running terms (“What is VO2 max?”), weigh in on debates (“Barefoot Running vs. Shoes”), provide nutritional advice (“Ten Best Foods for Your Heart”), and much more

• With lists, charts, and illustrations, this is the toolkit runners need to build their best running body

PETE MAGILL is a senior writer and columnist for Running Times magazine. His popular column, “Magill on Masters,” appears monthly, and he is the fastest distance runner in the world over the age of 50. TOM SCHWARTZ runs the popular website The Run Zone, and is an exercise physiologist and coach.

I Know You Like to Smoke, But You Can Quit—Now

Andreas Jopp

Only five percent of smokers are able to quit the first time they try.

In I Know You Like to Smoke, But You Can Quit—Now, medical journalist and ex-smoker Andreas Jopp provides what it takes to kick the habit: explanations of the thought patterns that keep millions of smokers from quitting, and the guidance and support they need to succeed.

• An empathetic approach to quitting smoking based on informative, up-to-date research and expert opinion

• Complete with an online companion program and mobile app, designed to help each smoker personalize their quitting strategy

ANDREAS JOPP is a medical journalist and bestselling author. His books have been translated into fourteen languages. He has been giving stop-smoking workshops for over ten years. His program as presented here was first launched in Germany in November 2011 and has already helped countless smokers to quit cigarettes for good.

Your Children Are ListeningNINE MESSAGES THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU

Jim Taylor, PhD

Children become the messages they get the most—but parents often forget to consider the messages their attitudes and behavior send to their children. Your Children Are Listening illustrates the value of parenting “on message,” and reveals the many ways parents (often unwittingly) send messages to their children—and the ways children can misunderstand them. Dr. Jim Taylor shares nine positive messages —on competence, generosity, love, safety, gratitude, environment, respect, responsibility, and emotion—that form the basis of a happy, well-adjusted life.

• A fresh way for parents to evaluate and practice what is best for their children

• Equips parents to persevere when their children don’t seem to be listening, don’t “get the message,” or do the opposite of what was asked

• Rights licensed on Dr… Taylor’s Positive Pushing: How to Raise a Successful and Happy Child in Spain, China, Korea, and Indonesia

JIM TAYLOR, PhD, has worked with young people, parents, and educators for more than twenty-five years. He has spoken at over 700 venus globally. His other books include Positive Pushing: How to Raise a Successful and Happy Child (Hyperion, 2002). He lives with his family north of San Francisco.

The Emotionally Absent MotherA GUIDE TO SELF-HEALING AND GETTING THE LOVE YOU MISSED

Jasmin Lee Cori, MS, LPC

Children who are “undermothered” often become adults who, decades later, still feel they don’t have the support they need, have trouble forming intimate relationships, and have an unmet need to be nurtured. In The Emotionally Absent Mother, licensed psychotherapist Jasmin Lee Cori explains why this is so and how these missing elements can be made up for now—through therapy, close relationships, or providing them for yourself.

• Other books describe inadequate types of mothers (e…g…, Children of the Self-Absorbed, Mean Mothers, Toxic Parents) but overlook the emotionally absent mother—the woman who is too tired, busy, or checked out to bond with her child

• Around one child in three has an insecure attachment to his or her mother and is likely to become an adult who feels unsupported and has trouble forming healthy relationships

Psychotherapist JASMIN LEE CORI, MS, LPC, specializes in treating survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. She has worked in human service agencies and private practice and taught psychology in colleges and professional schools. She is the author of numerous articles and four previous books, including Healing From Trauma. She lives in Boulder, Colorado. Visit her at www.jasmincori.com.
