Behind the Veil and on the Runway

Qanta Ahmed, In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom a doctor, was raised and educated in the UK. She spent two years in Saudi Arabia working at a hospital. She describes the surprising women she met and how they live under oppressive laws. 

"This is not a judgment on veiling. Veiling I think is always the choice of the Muslim woman to make. … This should be a personal choice. The objection I have, which is very intense, is to the fact that the question of women’s choice is removed from this."

- Qanta Ahmed

Then ... At the age of 16, Cheryl Diamond, Model: A Memoir took her perfectly proportioned self to New York City to become a high-fashion model. She takes us behind the scenes of the sometimes ugly business of modeling.

Now its creator, Dr. Arthur Agatston, The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life will change the way Americans exercise.

"The diet debates are over. We’re beyond low-fat vs. low-carb. It’s the right fats, the right carbs, lean protein, plenty of fiber. That’s universally agreed upon now."

- Arthur Agatston
