About this title

Synopsis

Presents the facts about menopause, exploring both the physical and psychological aspects, to help men understand what their wives are experiencing

From the Inside Flap

"In preparing to write this book, I've asked a lot of women what they want from their husbands. Far and away, the number one answer is something like this: "Understanding. I just wish he could understand what I am going through."

From "NO' IT'S NOT HOT IN HERE": A Husband's Guide to Understanding Menopause At long last, men have a book to help them understand what their menopausal wives are going through! Here in straightforward and east-to-follow language, you will learn what women most want and need during this mysterious (and potentially trying) life passage. Completely and concisely -- and with a minimum of scientific and academic jargon -- this book presents the facts about menopause. In examining this major transition, author Dick Roth explores both the physical and the psychological aspects, offering anecdotes and explanations along with the latest evidence. As he makes his case, Roth now and then bares his own soul -- but always with lively and down-to-earth humor.

Roth also delves into the controversies that swirl around menopause -- from whether or not a woman should take supplemental hormones to the reasons for the "medicalization" of menopause. Clearly, he aims to help husbands, family members, and significant others become aware of the information (and misinformation) that a woman in midlife is likely to receive. Perhaps most importantly, Roth points out how men can avoid being judgmental or condescending in their efforts to help their mates.

The bookends with a "word to the wives." But "NO, IT'S NOT HOT IN HERE" is, in fact, a complete enough treatment of menopause to serve as an excellent resource for any woman who wants to read an unbiased book -- one that presents the facts and choices without trying to sway her in one way or another.
