On the Clock

The Story of the NFL Draft

By: Barry Wilner,Ken Rappoport

The NFL draft features no action on the field. No passing, running, tackling, or kicking. Hey, there isn't even a field. Yet the draft has become more popular than many other sporting events, including the NBA and NHL playoff games, against which it goes head-to-head for viewers. In fact, the draft has spawned its own cottage industry in which names such as Gil Brandt, Mel Kiper Jr., and Mike Mayock have become as well known as any of the first-round selections. In On the Clock, Barry Wilner and Ken Rappoport chronicle the history of the proceedings. The veteran sportswriters take you from the first grab bag in 1936, when Philadelphia chose Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago only for him to decline to play in the NFL, to the 2014 draft—considered one of the deepest in talent ever. Along the 78-year journey, learn about the competitions for the top overall spot (Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf), the unhappy No. 1s (John Elway and Tom Cousineau), the big flops (JaMarcus Russell), and the late-rounders-turned-superstars (Tom Brady). Meet the draft wizards, from Paul Brown to Bill Walsh and Jimmy Johnson, and read about the draft whiffs that cost personnel executives their jobs. On the Clock takes you behind the scenes at one of pro football’s most suspenseful annual events.

Penn State Football

The Complete Illustrated History

By: Ken Rappoport,Barry Wilner

From an AP sports writer and author, a history of Pennsylvania State University’s Nittany Lions, with personal stories from coaches and players. In Tales from Penn State Football, Ken Rappoport puts you on the fifty-yard line and sometimes gets you a seat on the bench or a stall in the locker room. From the first team in the 1880s to the celebrated Joe Paterno teams of the 20th century, Penn State’s most entertaining—and legendary—football stories are chronicled here. And there is plenty to tell, considering the history of the Penn State football program. Penn State football started in 1881. These early pioneers could hardly envision the future popularity of the game, where crowds of more than 100,000 would fill Beaver Stadium to see Paterno’s nationally ranked powers play in the second-largest football stadium in America. In between, there have been plenty of colorful stories and characters at Penn State to fill a book. There was a coach who held up a Rose Bowl game over a violent argument and another who credited a mule for his success. Also, a player who impersonated the legendary Jim Thorpe and another nicknamed “Riverboat Richie” for his gambling instincts on the football field. For many of the stories in this book, Rappoport went right to the source. In an earlier interview at the Nittany Lion Inn, Joe Paterno talked about his famous “Grand Experiment.” At about the same time, Rip Engle discussed his most treasured moments at Penn State. Football aficionados will relish every tale. The perfect gift for college football buffs and Penn State fans.

Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient

By: Barry S. Fogel,Donna B. Greenberg

The third edition of Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient brings a classic reference text into the twenty-first century. It combines critical scholarship with the voice of expert clinicians who work at the interface of psychiatry with medical specialties. It is meant to be read for pleasure as well as consulted as a reference. The editors have worked with the authors to bring a consistent perspective to the book - one that sees the medical psychiatrist as an agent for bringing a more comprehensive perspective to medical care. Even seasoned and knowledgeable practitioners will find much that is new to them in this book. The volume covers topics in depth that other books in the field may not cover at all, such as the use of herbal and nutritional therapies for medical-psychiatric symptoms and syndromes, and the choice of questionnaires to supplement history-taking. It looks at old topics in a new way: The chapter on the physical examination applies psychometric considerations to the Babinski sign, describes the method and application of quantitative bedside olfactory testing, and discusses smartphone apps to improve the sensitivity of the examination. Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient, 3rd Edition provides concepts and information to facilitate the dialogue between psychiatrists and general medical specialists - minimizing psychiatric jargon and speaking in the common language of caring and curious physicians.

Social and Psychological Consequences of Violent Victimization

By: R. Barry Ruback,Martie P. Thompson

Publisher's description: What are the effects that violent crime has on our everyday lives, both in terms of the individual victims and their larger community? This unique text draws from both the fields of criminology and psychology to provide a comprehensive examination of the two major areas that are most significantly effected by violent crime - the crime victims themselves and the larger sphere of their families, friends, neighborhoods, and communities. Beginning with a discussion of the how we measure and study violent victimization, the authors R. Barry Ruback and Martie P. Thompson, look at the immediate and long-term impact violent acts has upon the direct victims. Social and Psychological Consequences of Violent Victimization examines "secondary victims"--Family members, neighbors, friends, and the professional involved with investigating and prosecuting the crime and helping the victim, and also impacts of violent crime on neighborhoods and communities. The authors conclude with recommendations of effective interventions that can be made at the levels of the individual, the community, and the criminal justice and mental health systems. This book's one-of-a kind focus on both the psychological and social impact of crime makes it an invaluable supplementary text for criminal justice and criminology courses dealing with victimization, violent crimes, and the criminal justice process. The book will also interest professionals in victim services, crime prevention, criminal justice, and social work.

Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, and the Road to Recovery

Life on the Edge

By: Barry Stimmel

Gain a fuller understanding of substance addiction and treatment options! Originally published in 1992 as The Facts About Drug Use, this updated edition contains new information about the effects of alcohol and recreational, mood-altering drugs on the body. The multiple causes of drug use and the options available to those dependent on drugs as a way of life are thoroughly and clearly described. Drug use affects nearly 1 out of 2 Americans and cuts across every social and economic boundary. The effects of addiction on the individual are great, and the cumulative effects on society are staggering. Knowledge of the adverse effects of mood-altering drugs and why and how they are used excessively is a centerpiece of this book. It presents, intelligently and interestingly, ways to identify persons at risk and identify problems that the addicted encounter in attempts to become drug free. Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, and the Road to Recovery: Life on the Edge is an essential tool in both finding available resources for drug users and developing appropriate responses to today's drug problem. This remarkable, well-referenced book enables those with little or no background in science or health care to understand the complex issues surrounding drug use. It provides current, reliable, and unbiased information on methods for dealing with dependency upon alcohol and central nervous system depressants, hallucinogens, heroin, nicotine, marijuana, caffeine, amphetamines, designer drugs like Ecstasy, and steroids. A glossary listing common street names for drugs will be invaluable to those interested in identifying specific substances. This comprehensive volume will show you: who typically uses drugs and the reasons why they do how to classify mood-altering drugs how to identify and treat drug dependency areas of special concern such as multiple drug use, AIDS and drug use, drugs and pregnancy, drugs and sports, and drug testing technology Chapter by chapter, this nonjudgmental book helps readers develop a better understanding of the effects of mood-altering substances and the reasons many continue to use them despite serious consequences. This is a valuable key to the nature of dependency and addiction, and the external forces (including poverty and homelessness) that promote such behavior.

The Clinical Process in Psychiatry

Diagnosis and Management Planning

By: Barry Nurcombe,Rollin M. Gallagher

Many texts review the scientific knowledge, diagnostic procedures, clinical syndromes, and therapeutic methods of importance to modern psychiatry. Barry Nurcombe and Rollin Gallagher offer something further. The Clinical Process in Psychiatry is about how to think in clinical settings. The authors take as their organizing theme the supple, efficient, systematic problem-solving of the experienced practitioner: from the eliciting of diagnostic clues and the intuition of patterns, through the generation of hypotheses and the gathering of evidence, to the formulation of comprehensive diagnoses and the design of goal-directed management plans. Throughout, they present theotetical material in a manner which is readily accessible to both students and clinicians during their daily encounters with patients.

Experiential Marketing

Integrated Theory & Strategic Application

By: Rose Leahy,Pio Fenton,Holly Barry

At a time when brand exposure is almost limitless, and ads have become more personalized than ever before, how do brands stand out and still win your attention? Having previously struggled to assert its credibility theoretically and amongst executives, experiential marketing now forms a core feature of most marketing practices. This book resets the perspective on the experience as an effective means of achieving corporate marketing objectives in a way that is structured, purposeful and measurable. Featuring over 40 examples from brands such as Netflix, Lego, Coca Cola, Vans, Asics and Sweaty Betty, this book revisits the theory around this type of marketing and shows you how to better integrate experiential marketing with other areas of marketing communications. The implementation model provided will help you develop robust campaigns that support overall marketing objectives and provide clarity on effectiveness to executives through a mechanism called Return on Integrated Experience (ROIE). Experiential Marketing faces new challenges in a post-Covid era – this book will be the basis for overcoming those challenges and providing opportunities to marketers everywhere. Rose Leahy is a lecturer and research supervisor in the area of marketing in Munster Technological University, Ireland. Pio Fenton is Head of Department of Marketing and International Business at Munster Technologicla University, Ireland. Holly Barry is a Brand Strategist at Barry Group, a leading wholesale distribution company in Cork, Ireland.

From Ivory Towers to Gun Towers

By: Barry Lew

I didn`t realize it early on, but my mother was emotionally insuring my survival in order that I become an M.D.and reciprocate. I carefully avoided any meaningful relationships for many years and focused on fulfilling the covenant with her. I attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completed my training at the true "ivory towers" in medicine I had kept my mother alive through four grave illnesses until her passing in 1977. I left the emptiness her loss created and began a new life in California. There, I believe I alnost achieved legendary status treating the medical and social needs of a population shunned and forgotten by society At the height of my success, I acquired a hotel on its own island in Belize and mingled with the participants of the "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous". And then, suddenly,in one untoward series of events, I lost the degree and profession that I had spent a lifetime achieving. I was betrayed by a physician assistant who wrongfully accused me of masterminding his criminal activities. I was given the option of acting as an under cover agent for the Department of Justice. My attorneys had left me a position which I judged to be life threatening. I chose to survive and was led away to the harsh reality of the California Institue for Men. I suvived my prison experience because of a sacred bond with Gregory Jolley or "Rooster", originally a hard core,level four inmate who shared a cell at one time with John Clutchette, one of the Soledad "brothers". We defied the segregation in Chino at great personal risk. But first, I had to discover the inner resourses that would allow me to transform myself into a respected "convict". I invite you to read the amazing details of this never before articulated recount of a friendship in prison that defied all conventional wisdom.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes

By: Barry Stimmel

Increase your awareness of the relative addiction liabilities of various drugs and drug classes that are commonly abused. A timely and masterful new book, Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes clarifies, in contemporary terminology, the state of addiction liability of cocaine, opiates, alcohol, sedative-hypnotics, nicotine, anxiolytics, marijuana, inhalants and anesthetics, and PCP and hallucinogens--the nine drugs that are most abused today. Authorities combine their research expertise with the available scientific literature to evaluate those factors which contribute to the addictive qualities of drugs. Specific chapters highlight the positive and negative reinforcement qualities that make drugs rewarding, focus on the two major subtypes of alcoholics, and cover the neuroanatomical and neurochemical bases of psychological dependence, the greatest contributing factor to drug addiction. An essential new resource for scientists, clinicians, and administrators, Addiction Potential of Abused Drugs and Drug Classes also highlights those areas where more work is needed in order to understand how individual drugs affect the processes of dependence, tolerance, and addiction, so that adequate treatment of these disorders can be discovered.The book was written for teachers and researchers in the chemical dependency field, to provide an up-to-date review of the literature. In addition, physicians, nurses, and pharmacists will find the book to be valuable as an update on the relative addiction strengths of abused drugs. Finally, treatment counselors and professionals with some knowledge of physiology and pharmacology will be interested in the book because of its relevance to the clinical treatment of chemically-dependent patients.

Addiction and Pregnancy

Empowering Recovery through Peer Counseling

By: Laura M. Sanders,Barry R. Sherman,Chau Trinh

Pioneering evidence is presented in this book to support the effectiveness of peer counseling for substance abuse treatment of pregnant women and their families. The introduction by Barry R. Sherman describes his personal experience as a behavioral scientist doing work in a culture other than his own. A comprehensive overview of the crack epidemic and its impact on women is followed by an up-to-date account of acupuncture in addiction treatment. The authors use the theory and principles of social learning to justify the peer counselor model known as SISTERS. Chapters include discussions of conducting culturally competent research, development and validation of the Abstinence Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) and the Traumatic Life Events (TLE) Inventory, as well as the social support systems of drug-dependent women. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to evaluate program impact. A urine toxicology index of sobriety as well as empirical measures of psychosocial functioning and client satisfaction demonstrate sufficient success and cost-effectiveness of the program to warrant serious support by health care providers and insurance companies.

The Healing Imagination

The Meeting of Psyche and Soul

By: Ann Ulanov,Barry Ulanov

This eloquent work speaks of the centrality of imagination in the life of the spirit. Ann and Barry Ulanov describe the imagination as a bridge between the psyche and the spirit. Using rich imagery drawn from literature, film, and their own experience as therapists, they unlock for us the healing power of our imagination. "Imagination heals by building a bridge sturdy enough to link us up, each of us, to the river of being already present in us, to the currents flowing through us and among us in our unconscious life." After describing this healing power of imagination, the authors go on to show how it is vital in the spiritual life: in preaching, prayer, teaching, counseling, and politics.

Opiate Receptors, Neurotransmitters, and Drug Dependence

Basic Science-Clinical Correlates

By: Barry Stimmel

Experts address the role of neuromodulators and opiate receptors in alcohol and drug dependence. They present innovative research techniques, new discoveries, and possible clinical correlates that allow for a much greater understanding of the clinical phenomena surrounding alcohol and narcotic use. Included in this thought-provoking volume are a comprehensive review of the current knowledge of the endogenous opiates, their interactions with the opiate receptors, and the potential relationship that these substances might have in promoting the development of dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal; the translation of the basic physiologic findings occuring during withdrawal to treatment of withdrawal symptoms in the clinical setting; and a physiological explanation for the rationale of using clonidine and naltrexone to accelaerate the detoxification process without undue discomfort.

Scott Hamilton

Star Figure Skater

By: Barry Wilner

Scott Hamilton, star figure skater and winner of the Olympic gold medal, has overcome many obstacles. As a child, doctors discovered that he suffered from a partially paralyzed intestine. Skating was both an escape from his illness and therapy toward getting well. During this time, skating also became his passion. Yet skating could not cure all of his problems. Having already watched his mother suffer and eventually die from cancer, Hamilton maintained a positive outlook while he went on to win his own courageous six-month battle with cancer. From his fantastic skating programs in the Olympics, to his comeback with the Stars on Ice professional tour, Hamilton's courage, strength and emotion continues to shine as an example for all aspiring athletes.
