Book Overview
Donnie Miller counts himself lucky. Living in a beautiful, spacious house in the wild and remote landscape of central Canada, he spends his days writing for the local newspaper, working on a film script, and acting as house-husband. After a troubled and impoverished upbringing in Scotland, he now has all he wants: a caring wife, a bright and happy son, a generous father-in-law. As the brutal northern winter begins to bite, he can sit back and enjoy life. But his peace is soon to be broken. There are noises in the nearby woods, signs of some mysterious watcher. When the family dog disappears, Donnie makes a horrifying discovery. Is it wolves, as the police suspect, or something far more dangerous, far darker? What secrets has Donnie been keeping? And why does he have the terrible sense that his dream was never going to last? A taut, shocking and visceral thriller that will leave you gasping for breath, Cold Hands is the first in an exciting new series by the remarkable John J. Niven.

This is the Hirsch book I like
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is where Dr Hirsch started - book tells how he arrived at his theory regarding weight and sense of smell. Interesting background. Then the doctor goes on to tell how smell affects our appetite and gives lots of examples. I found this book worth a bazillion times more than his product and book, Sensa! THis is a down to earth book full of common sense and fun to read to boot. I left off one star because he doesn't go into calories at all and uses vials of odorants for his research - only one chapter on just "sniffing" which is what is should all be about. He suggests sniffing before the first bite but I have found, after some experimenting, that if I put the food in my mouth, chew just slightly, and then do the "wine slurp" (draw the air into your mouth through slightly parted lips as if you were doing a wine tasting) the flavor of the food is really really enhanced and the delightful smell goes up into your palate and nose and - surprise!! - you're appetite is satiated about half way through the meal. Eat less, lose weight!
Thanks so much!

Scentsational weight loss
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Very interesting and helpful research over many years and thousands of patients icluding one the biggest long-term studies into weight loss. Also backed up by last years nobel prize for medicine that was awarded (not to Alan Hirsch) for studies into olfaction and how it works in conjunction with our brains.
Great scientific discoveries presented in fun way.
