Addicus Books UPDATES

Here's the lastest news from Addicus Books

Author Makes Weekly Trips to Alcatraz Island
Addicus Books published Battle at Alcatraz in 1999, and the book is still a top seller…especially in the gift shop at Alcatraz Island. The former prison is now a tourist attraction off the coast of San Francisco. Since the book’s publication, the author, Ernie Lageson, has made weekly trips to the island gift shop, where he autographs books. He typically sells several dozen books in an afternoon. Battle at Alcatraz tells the story of the attempt by several inmates to overtake the prison in 1946. At the time, Lageson, age 13, lived with his parents in civilian housing on the island. His dad was a prison guard, who was shot and left for dead during the uprising; however, he survived.

An article by Catherine Cram, M.S., an expert on material fitness and author of Exercising through Your Pregnancy (Addicus 2012), is featured in this month’s issue Fit Pregnancy. Her article, “Choose the Best Workout for Your Mood,” discusses a variety of ways to exercise—from vigorous workouts when you’re in a good mood to doing only stretching when you’re tired.

Those titles are Divorce in California by Debra Schoenberg, Esq., and Jennifer Knopps, Esq., both family law attorneys in San Francisco. The other title, Divorce in Nebraska (2nd Edition) is also heading to press. The authors are Omaha attorneys Angela Dunne and Susan Koenig.



New Diabetic Retinopathy Book Coming this Summer

The new title, Diabetic Retinopathy—From Diagnosis to Treatment, goes to press in June.  Caused by uncontrolled blood sugars, retinopathy is a disease of the retina that occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina. The disorder is the leading cause of blindness associated with diabetes. The authors, Homayoun Tabandeh, M.D., and David Boyer, M.D., are retina specialists with Retina-Vitreous Associates in Los Angeles. They are also authors of Macular Degeneration—From Diagnosis to Treatment, published by Addicus Books in 2012.




New title on Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Now Available

Another new title, NPH— Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus—From Diagnosis to Treatment, is now available. NPH is a brain disorder caused by the buildup of too much cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. This increased pressure causes debilitating symptoms that include problems walking, incontinence, and mild dementia. Unfortunately, the disorder is commonly misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment, the symptoms can often be reversed. The book is authored my Adam Mednick, M.D., a neurologist in New Haven, Connecticut.
