Award-winning cookbook author Faye
Levy has written a fabulous cooking
guide for even novices to learn the joys
of Jewish cooking. Jewish Cooking for

cooking, covering topics such as the Ten Commandments of

styles of Jewish cuisine and recipes and techniques for all
types of foods and meals. Faye Levy is the award-winning

Bruce A. Carnes, leading research scien-
tists in the field of aging, separate fact

are looking for ways to boost their longevity, the book deals
with both the political and philosophical issues that often
come hand in hand with the entire aging process. Dr.
Olshansky is a professor in the School of Public Health at the
