Praise for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: 

It’s no shock that Americans in general have an unhealthy lifestyle and make poor food choices.  The phrase YOU ARE what you eat, eventually does show up on your physical body.

Research shows that there is a rise in chronic diseases due to those poor food choices and sedentary lifestyle.  Most of the diets that are marketed deal with reduced calorie intake, but don’t really address the food choices.

Mark Davis, M.D. author of The Millenium Diet: The Practical Guide for Rapid Weight Loss (while I realize millennium is spelled incorrectly that is the way it is written in this book), explains the vicious pattern of cause and effect with many of the foods we eat on a regular basis.

New York Times bestselling authors and archaeologists Kathleen O’Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear continue the tale that began with People of the Longhouse with THE DAWN COUNTRY (Forge Books: Hardcover; $25.99; March 15, 2011), the second book of the Iroquois quartet.  An epic tale about a seminal figure in Iroquois and US history, Dekanawida the Peacemaker, The Dawn Country picks up where the first book, People of the Longhouse, left off.
