Reviews
Olympic swimming medalist Hogshead joins medical writer Couzens to produce an inspiring book for asthma sufferers. Personal experiences of asthmatic athletes, including those of runner Jackie Joyner-Kersee, are woven into each chapter, integrating information on medication and breathing exercises with individual predicaments. Particularly touching is the story of Rich DeMont, who was stripped of his gold medal in 1972 for using an asthma medication not approved by the Olympic Committee. An excellent book for young asthmatics and their parents, urging them to use athletics to improve their condition, and to avoid using asthma as an excuse to skip activities. An excellent supplement to Paul J. Hannaway's Asthma Self-Help Book (LJ 7/89)-- Robert Schmid, L . R . C . , Univ. of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical Sch., North Chicago
