Younger Next Year by Crowley and Lodge

This book's full title is Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit and Sexy - Until you're 80 or beyond. The authors are Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, M.D. I have read a number of books about being healthy in retirement or old age. They all say the same things. You need something to do that you are passionate about (that is do something you care about), you need to exercise, you need to eat properly and you need to socialize.

There is a wonderful review of this book by Clarence Bass on his blog site. Clarence goes into a lot of details about this book. There is a video review of this book by a couple of physical therapist. There is also an interesting review of this book at the Athlete In Me site.

This book has its own web site . Chris Crowley also has a blog about this subject. There is an interview by Jim Zirin of Chris Crowley. In this video, Chris Crowley talks about the Aspen Club.

There is a short PBS clip from a show done by Henry Lodger on PBS. Dr. Henry S. Lodger speaks at The UP Experience 2008. He talks about experiments were worms are made to live about 8 times longer than normal. This also works with mice and makes them live one third longer. This is generics. We should eat better and eat less, we should exercise more and we should care.

On my website is how to find this book on Amazon if you care to purchase it. See Crowley. Also, this book review and other books I have reviewed are on my website at Book Reviews.

Advanced Civilizations of Prehistoric America by Frank Joseph

This book's full title is Advance Civilizations of Prehistoric America: The lost Kingdoms of the Adena, Hopewell, Mississippians and Anasazi. This is an interesting book. I thought I was buying a history book, but when I glanced at the back of the book, I noticed that it was classified as Ancients Mysteries/New Age.

According to Frank Joseph, all the North American civilizations were all started by alien peoples from Europe (Celts), Japan and South America. Really! I must admit I have a hard time believing this. Maybe one group emigrated from South America, this could be believable, but all of them?

Also, he says that when North American civilizations tottered then North American Indian tribes slaughtered them. He makes the native North American Indians out to be rather nasty people in the bargain. No wonder this book has been classified as Ancient Mysteries/New Age. It does not appear to be history as I understand history.

For this book I had a hard time finding any book review that did not just regurgitate the blurbs from the back of the book. There is one at Good Reads. There is a very interesting entry for Frank Joseph as Frank Cohen/Collin in Wikipedia. There is a second Wikipedia entry for Frank Joseph as Frank Collin.

On my website is how to find this book on Amazon if you care to purchase it. See Joseph. Also, this book review and other books I have reviewed are on my website at Book Reviews.
