Doctors Michael R. and Mary Dan Eades make a persuasive case in favor of "the diet we were meant t o eat." Similar to Dr. Robert Atkins's New Diet Revolution, the authors cite insuli n as the main culprit in weight gain and expound the benefits of a diet ext remely low in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, which are changed into sugar du ring digestion, stimulate the body to store fat, making weight loss virtual ly impossible. The most revolutionary idea put forth in Protein Power is th at the fat you eat has very little bearing on the fat you gain: in other wo rds, we aren't what we eat after all.

Lincoln: Bison Books, 1994. Very Good. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: In this fast-moving tale, reminiscent of a detective novel, Echenoz crosses the boundaries of time and space as he introduces us to Charles and Jeff, who were in love with Nicole 30 years ago; Paul, Jeff's nephew, who falls for Justine, Nicole's daughter by a dead pilot; and Bob, Paul's friend. Bob and Paul unwittingly duplicate Charles and Jeff's past pursuit of Nicole, as they both try to win the love of her daughter. In the background, and setting the pace for the story, is the subplot of an arms-smuggling campaign to Malaysia, where Jeff manages a rubber plantation. The off-beat characters are delightful and well drawn, and their curious relationships will keep the reader entertained until the last page. The author is the winner of the Medici Prize for Cherokee (Godine, 1987) and the European Literature Prize for his best-selling Lac. -- Peggie Partello, Keene State Coll., N.H.
