The Heart of a Woman

Maya Angelou has fascinated, moved, and inspired countless readers with the first three volumes of her autobiography, one of the most remarkable personal narratives of our age. Now, in her fourth volume, The Heart of a Woman, her turbulent life breaks wide open with joy as the singer-dancer enters the razzle-dazzle of fabulous New York City. There, at the Harlem Writers Guild, her love for writing blazes anew. Her compassion and commitment lead her to respond to the fiery times by becoming the northern coordinator of Martin Luther King's history-making quest. A tempestuous, earthy woman, she promises her heart to one man only to have it stolen, virtually on her weding day, by a passionate African freedom fighter. Filled with unforgettable vignettes of famous characters, from Billie Holiday to Malcolm X, The Heart of a Woman sings with Maya Angelou's eloquent prose -- her fondest dreams, deepest disappointments, and her dramatically tender relationship with her rebellious teenage son. Vulnerable, humorous, tough, Maya speaks with an intimate awareness of the heart within all of us. From the Paperback edition.

The GI Plan

Lose weight forever

The glycaemic index (GI) is one of the hottest topics in weight loss today. Like Atkins, it's based on carbohydrates but unlike Atkins it's based on the quality of the carbs and allows much more flexibility for the dieter. This book uses GI in a groundbreaking fashion: simply by adding up the GiP value of each food and keeping to an allocated number of GiPs a day, it's possible to lose weight quickly, effortlessly, enjoyably - and permanently. Unlike other diet books, this is not about avoiding foods - it's about eating what you want within healthy boundaries. Importantly, it's about balancing your meal - by eating certain foods together, you can ensure you get a healthy, delicious and low-GI meal - and lose those kilos.
