Susan Adams - Forbes

Books / A gripping new tale of a commuter plane crash may give frequent fliers pause.

The title of Gary M. Pomerantz's riveting new book, Nine Minutes, Twenty Seconds (Crown, $24), re-flects the interval between structural trouble and the crash of ASA commuter flight 529 into a south Georgia hayfield in August 1995. Of the 29 people aboard, 19 miraculously survived. "An ode to the beauty and dignity of the human spirit," says a cover blurb. And for some, proof that fear of flying has some basis in fact.

In the first chapter a technician dutifully inspects a propeller blade, writes Pomerantz, "as if it would be at-tached to a plane carrying his family." But a year later a tiny fatigue crack causes the propeller to snap minutes into the flight, ripping the engine from its mounting and lodging it against the wing. The Brasilia turboprop plunges to the left, then drops, losing 2,750 feet in 25 seconds.

You feel the passengers' anguish. Minutes before impact, grade school teacher Dawn Dumm, 40, scribbles a note to her two kids: "You are the Lights of My Life. Always, Mommy." Despite a heroic effort by the pilot, the plane hits the ground at 138 miles an hour, splitting the fuselage in two. "Passenger and crew had 60 seconds to get out," writes Pomerantz. "Then would come fire."

The story has its share of valor. Shaken and bleeding, flight attendant Robin Fech, 37, strips off her vest and beats the flames from a burning passenger. After fleeing the wreck, 37-year-old computer trainer David McCorkell re-turns, struggling to free first officer Matthew Warmerdam, pinned inside the cockpit. All told, a great read. But you might want to tackle it while on terrafirma.

Library Journal

Null, who has a Ph.D. in human nutrition and public health science, has written more than 50 books and has a syndicated radio program on health. One can only hope that what was omitted to reduce 1000-plus pages to a six-hour recording is not significant information that would affect the results of using any of the therapies or regimens. Oddly the work is not narrated by the author, who as a radio-show host obviously has public-speaking experience; it is competently presented by reader Robert Deyan. Anyone who wants to follow any of Null's advice would probably want the written version for review and reference.

Understanding Depression or Denise Austins Ultimate Pregnancy Book

Understanding Depression: A Complete Guide to Its Diagnosis and Treatment (Second Edition)

Author: Donald F Klein

When Understanding Depression was first published over ten years ago, it quickly became a trusted guide for the millions of Americans suffering from depression. Now the long-awaited revised and expanded second edition of this definitive and readable book is available to a new generation of those struggling with depression and their families. Informed by up-to-date research on new drugs and treatments for depression, the authors again carefully illustrate the importance of accurately diagnosing the disease and using scientific data and tested research methods in treating it. The book provides the means of evaluating the benefits and disadvantages of both pharmaceutical and psychological treatment of depression and explores the different treatments available. The completely revised medication chapter covers both the old and the new antidepressants and SSRIs, as well as popular herbal supplements like St. John's Wort. It also focuses on the environmental and hereditary causes of biological depression, about which there are still many misconceptions, even among professionals. The authors include several self-rating tests which readers can use to determine the need to seek a psychological evaluation. Using excerpts from patient histories to show their progress from the onset of depression to treatment to recovery, the authors put a human face on the specter of depression. Most of its victims fail to seek help, whether out of guilt or ignorance, and many are misdiagnosed by physicians or psychotherapists who fail to recognize the symptoms of the illness. Understanding Depression is an excellent source of support, providing a highly informed and readable guide to this much misunderstooddisease.


"Offers hope for relief from a terrifying affliction. And practical, step-by-step advice for finding that relief."--The New York Times
"The book is helpful in directing individuals to treatment, and nothing short of praise is deserved for advancing that goal. Conveying the remarkable contributions of medication to advances in care is critically important."-- American Journal of Psychiatry (on the previous edition*)

Many Roads, One Journey: Moving beyond the Twelve Steps

Author: Charlotte S Kasl

From the author of Women, Sex, and Addiction, a timely and controversial second look at 12-Step programs, helping all readers to draw on the steps' underlying wisdom, adapting them to their own experiences, beliefs, and sources of strength.

Publishers Weekly

Wide-ranging and refreshing, this is a feminist, New Age critique of the Alcoholics Anonymous approach to addictions, including caffeine, nicotine and TV. Kasl ( Women, Sex and Addiction ) links addiction and treatment with chakras, nutrition and patriarchy--and she's on target. A.A.'s approach is patriarchal, okay for affluent white men but not for others, especially women, she finds. The book offers numerous, surprising examples of how A.A. meetings, slogans, traditions and steps hurt women: while it might be good for white men to humble themselves and make amends to everyone, Kasl contends that women should ignore that A.A. exhortation--they've done enough of that sort of thing already. Ultimately, everyone's recovery is based on recapturing personal power, recognizing social oppression and revering life. This guide should put some of the needful back on track. Author tour. (June)

Library Journal

Add Kasl to the growing number of au thors who are challenging the structure and tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its 12 steps. Other recent books on the sub ject include Jack Trimpey's The Small Book: A Revolutionary Alternative for Over coming Alcohol and Drug Dependence (De lacorte, 1992) and Christopher James's How To Stay Sober Without Religion (LJ 5/1/92). Examining AA from a feminist point of view, Kasl contends that while AA helps many maintain sobriety, its dogmat ic, male-oriented doctrines and the un yielding way in which some groups inter pret them are damaging to others, especially women. Drawing from her own experiences and those of other twelve-step pers, the author argues that the rigid de mands of some groups for strict adherence discourages rational thinking. For exam ple, a rigid demand to ``admit powerless ness'' or to yield to a ``higher power'' may harm women who are fighting to gain con trol of their lives. The author offers her own 16-step recovery model with guide lines for finding or forming alternative groups. Both lay readers and professionals will gain insight from this book. Purchase for psychology, addiction/recovery, and feminist collections.--Linda S. Greene, Chicago P.L.
