Reviews
Intending to offer nonjudgmental, reliable material for the lay reader, Sinclair has compiled a timely, useful source, where none exists, of almost 400 self-help groups, organizations, institutions, foundations, journals, magazines, and newsletters that offer information on alternative health care. Nearly 100 health-related topics from AIDS and cancer to nutrition and pain relief are alphabetically arranged with an A-Z listing of the resources in an easy-to-use format. Each entry provides address, telephone number, contact person, background history, and data on services available. Recommended where interest warrants.
