Do you know what's
going on under her bonnet?
Haynes Publishing has, for more than forty years, helped people
keep their cars on the road in countries all over the world by publishing
maintenance manuals, but the latest title Women: all models, shapes,
sizes and colours is intended to help men understand what's going
on under a woman's bonnet, unravelling the mysteries of 'women's
problems'. Despite the woman being the superior species (well it
is a woman writing this Press Release!) all of this information
is packed concisely in to one volume.

in reducing my stress, trust me! |

Although women's health may seem far removed
from the mechanics of a car, The Woman manual makes important comparisons
between women's bodies and the beloved car. This book will demonstrate
how she can maintain her bodywork in optimum condition, prevent corrosion
of vital parts, pass her MOT and keep her engine perfectly tuned.
It follows the tried-and-tested Haynes formula, with fault-finding charts, (even us women are not perfect), technical illustrations and diagnostics, with chapter headings such as: roadside repairs (first aid), fuel & exhaust (digestion, blood & urogenital systems), in-car entertainment (sound & vision), family runabout (fertility, pregnancy & birth), chassis & bodywork (skin & bones) and engine management (brain). Covering a range of female issues like menopause, HRT, PMT to thrush and breast cancer.
Author Dr Ian Banks brings his unique talent for demystifying
medical jargon to bear on topics from anaemia to weight loss,
breast cancer to thrush, and all points in between. The information
is presented in
a down-to-earth fashion, with a good sprinkling of humour, such
as comparing the process of giving birth to the FA Cup Final.
However, the woman's
point of view is properly represented, well-known broadcaster
and agony Aunt Suzie Hayman has cast an eye over the manual with
her own tips and
advice.
