        Verdict: An introduction to the lifestyle and dietary choices beneficial for healthy and strong bones; public libraries should gauge their communities'interest in natural health when considering this book. Background: Nutritionist Colbin argues that bone health requires more than consuming calcium supplements or dairy products; diet and exercise affect our bones more than we may realize. The author takes a tour of how osteoporosis, calcium, and menopause influence bone health before making her prescriptions (e.g., limiting nightshade vegetables, over-the-counter medications, and coffee). Part 2 briefly addresses whole foods, exercise, and the spiritual aspects of bone health. Part 3 has nearly 100 recipes that will appeal to those who enjoy natural, organic foods. Several pages of references document the author's research, although this book is unlikely to convertskeptics of nontraditional approaches.-Mindy Rhiger, St. Paul, MN
