Total Health for Men: How to Prevent and Treat the Health Problems That Trouble Men Most

Neil Wertheimer. Rodale Press, $31.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-87596-309-9

Incisive and authoritative articles on male health issues constitute this encyclopedic guide from the managing editor of Men's Health Books. A brief introduction discusses nutrition and ``Top Ten Tips for Total Health,'' which begin with ``Quit smoking'' and include ``Get a good workout.'' The great majority of the book is taken up with lively, direct, alphabetically arranged articles on topics that are exclusively male, e.g., Delayed Ejaculation, Foreskin Problems, Prostate Cancer and Testicular Problems, and less gender-specific--Baldness, Cirrhosis, Flatulence and Ulcers. Wertheimer delivers a well-researched, accessibly written reference that will help readers looking for specific information and those interested in an overall view of men's health. (Dec.)
