The PMS Bible

This is the book that introduced the world to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), proving that it is a real - and treatable - condition. Since its publication, hundreds of thousands of women have found help for the symptoms of PMS including tension, mood swings, water retention and headaches and it has sold over 300,000 copies worldwide. In this latest edition, the author introduces PMS to a new generation of women.

Fully updated, the highlights include how PMS affects school performance, especially in teenage girls,

information on contraception options for women who may respond badly to the Pill, how PMS was 'hijacked' by psychologists and the pros and cons of this development. Dr Dalton also addresses the whole range of possible treatments - from self-care methods such as the three-hourly starch diet and relaxation techniques to the newest medical options. She even includes a chapter for men, to help them understand and support their partners who suffer from PMS.

Gripping ... a powerful call for change in how we live with, love, understand, treat, and think about each other

—— Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explaining Everything To Me

Because marriage doesn't always bring out the best in us, it makes us wonder what the best in us might be. It is part of the extraordinary wit and wisdom of Baum's remarkable book to show us what kind of romance, and experiment in living, we have wanted marriage to be

—— Adam Phillips

Everything you thought you knew about conjugal beds, secrets, feuds, confessions, triangulations and solaces will be pleasurably complicated by Devorah Baum's wryly insightful tell - all regarding the infinite perversity of marriage - including her own, mine, and probably yours

—— Laura Kipnis

On Marriage is a hugely thought-provoking, witty, warm tour around every significant writer and thinker on love to have emerged since Adam and Eve. Baum is a charming guide to the wisdom of her inspiring judiciously curated cohort

—— Alain de Botton

Baum looks at marriage from multiple angles, legal and political, social and narrative, its interminability and its dailiness . . . it can be funny or tragic or both. Baum’s methodology is to look at what is missing – a philosophy of marriage, a clear idea of what this dominant structure is and how it influences lives. Lovely
