    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;Bisexual women have attained a powerful sexual mythos, but as Cara Bruce writes in her introduction, it’s as “a staple of everyone else's porn and erotica.” In this short story collection, however, bi women reveal themselves — and their steamy sex lives — as they really are. From the first entrancing page, readers find themselves intimately involved with the passionate protagonists and their partners. The tales push erotica into the realm of timeless fiction, while featuring salacious glimpses into the lives, loves, and desires of a diverse group of women. Playful, sexy, scintillating, and sometimes heartbreaking, <em>Best Bisexual Women’s Erotica</em> delivers a smart, one-handed read for both sexes.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&#8226; <strong>Significant changes with HCV treatment since original publication:</strong> The fifth-year anniversary of the book ushers in a new phase of treatment and information, including protease inhibitors (which have been so successful in treating HIV), split-liver transplants, and prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines for HCV. Bruce and Montanarelli also offer updated information on medications that are toxic to the liver; Eastern and Western approaches to healing; nutrition guides; the types of hepatitis that have been identified and what is known; and living with coinfection (HCV and HIV, HBV, and HAV).<br/><br/>&#8226; <strong>Alarming statistics:</strong> Hepatitis C is the most common bloodborne virus: It has infected 300 million people worldwide (4.1 million in the U.S.) and kills 8,000 to 10,000 Americans each year. About 26,000 people in the U.S. are infected yearly. Chronic hepatitis C is the number one cause of liver transplants. <br/><br/>&#8226; <strong>Key lifestyle issues:</strong> The book offers emotional support for newly diagnosed patients, helps them navigate and overcome insurance obstacles, as well as providing suggestions for making necessary changes in diet, exercise, drinking habits, drug use, dating, and sex life. Bruce and Montanarelli also debunk common myths and offer ideas for coping with depression, fatigue, and the side effects of medications.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;The number of people infected with the Hepatitis C virus has risen to a staggering 200 million worldwide, yet there is surprisingly little information available to the public about this silent epidemic. Cara Bruce and Lisa Montanarelli, both of whom live with Hepatitis C and have become experts on the condition, guide those newly diagnosed step-by-step through the first year following diagnosis. They provide crucial information about the nature of the disease, treatment options, diet, exercise, the myriad of emotional issues that accompany the diagnosis, and much more. The First Year&#8212;Hepatitis C will be an invaluable guide for everyone struggling to rebuild their lives after a Hepatitis C diagnosis.&lt;/div&gt;]]>
