Why Men Die First: How to Lengthen Your Lifespan de Marianne J. Legato

Why Men Die First: How to Lengthen Your Lifespan

Autor Marianne J. Legato
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2008
Marianne Legato's study traces the fragility of men throughout their lives, from prenatal development to the aging process and death. Legato contrasts men's relative biological weakness with the traditional social expectations that boys should take risks of greater physical danger and endure greater pain than women. After a comprehensive discussion of the innate differences between the male and female of the species, she concludes with practical advice and suggestions for helping men spend a bit more time on the planet.

Recenzii


'Marianne Legato, who has devoted her career to studying the differences between the sexes, believes that the premature death of men is the most important - and neglected - health issue of our time. She has written a book for every man who wants to live longer and for the women and families who love them. Dr. Legato has started a much needed conversation we should all be having about how we can improve the health and longevity of men...' - Dr. Mehmet Oz, Cardiothoracic surgeon, and Author, who is famous for his frequent appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show
 
'...this excellent book serves as a wake-up to the problems caused by letting our view on male health slip out of focus.' - Alex Gazzola, Journalist and Author

Caracteristici

- PROVOCATIVE ARGUMENT: Legato shows how men are the weaker gender. She shows why boys have a hard time adjusting in school, why men are more prone to acts of aggression, and the clinical reasons they are three times as likely to die from cancer
- AUTHOR IS FOUNDER OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE: Legato's Partnership for Gender Specific Medicine has global reach: from 2002, collaboration with Sweden's Karolinska Institute; from 2006, institute has signed on collaborators throughout Japan. Legato lectures frequently in Europe, and the institute's scientific journal Gender Medicine, has global circulation
- GLOBAL CONCERN: Statistically women outlive men by a decade worldwide. This book shows the physiological and psychological reasons for this—and ways to reverse the trend that cuts across cultural divides
- PUBLICITY: Author has good platform in the US - NBC's Good Morning America, The Today Show, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. New York Magazine consistently features her in their top doctors issue. Hopes that this will translate to UK and Europe
  - TIMELY RELEASE: Publication date timed to coincide with Men's Health Week which takes place in the UK and Europe in June 2008, and also with Father's Day in the UK.
