About the Book Life’s Jumbles is a poet’s response to life around her, focusing on aspects of daily activities, family, travel, emotions, nature, and life’s diversities. The book is based on the unique experiences of the poet, who hopes the reader will perhaps ponder new perspectives when viewing a situation, or the reader may say, “That’s my exact sentiment too!” About the Author For Elizabeth S. Buchanan, when life presents challenges, she delves into them with enthusiasm and excitement. She currently lives on two sides of the Atlantic Ocean because her only daughter married a Frenchman and she is a happy grandmother of three young children. Buchanan’s hobbies include a wide range of activities from running, club-car racing, live theater, and playing extras in films in her younger days. In the retirement stage of her life, Buchanan looks to such activities as quilting, reading, and writing. Throughout her life, she has enjoyed membership in various organizations: Corvette Club of NC, Alumni associations of Winthrop University, University of South Carolina, Georgetown University, George Mason University and in the local protestant church wherever she happens to reside. As an educator for more than forty-seven years, she has expanded her horizons through many rich and extensive life experiences.
“When I was starting College Presidents for Gun Safety, one of the concerns I heard was the idea that there were just too many issues on which to articulate an opinion. Where would it stop? Where would we draw the line? . . . In light of this latest tragedy, on a college campus that could have been any of ours, I would say: ‘We are nowhere near the line yet.’” (Lawrence Schall, quoted in “Tragedy at Umpqua,” by Paul Fain, Inside Higher Ed, October 2, 2015) In this short work, Elizabeth Boquet explores the line Lawrence Schall describes above, tracing the overlaps and intersections of a lifelong education around guns and violence, as a student, a teacher, a feminist, a daughter, a wife, a citizen and across the dislocations and relocations that are part of a life lived in and around school. Weaving narratives of family, the university classroom and administration, her husband’s work as a police officer, and her work with students and the Poetry for Peace effort that her writing center sponsors in the local schools, she recounts her efforts to respond to moments of violence with a pedagogy of peace. “Can we not acknowledge that our experiences with pain anywhere should render us more, not less, capable of responding to it everywhere?” she asks. “Compassion, it seems to me, is an infinitely renewable resource.”
Providing a solid foundation in cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology and rehabilitation, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy: Evidence and Practice, 5th Edition uses the latest scientific literature and research in covering anatomy and physiology, assessment, and interventions. A holistic approach addresses the full spectrum of cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy from acute to chronic conditions, starting with care of the stable patient and progressing to management of the more complex, unstable patient. Both primary and secondary cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders are covered. In this edition, updates include new, full-color clinical photographs and the most current coverage of techniques and trends in cardiopulmonary physical therapy. Edited by Donna Frownfelter and Elizabeth Dean, recognized leaders in cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation, this resource is ideal for clinicals and for practice. - Evidence-based practice is demonstrated with case studies, and the latest research supports PT decision-making. - Real-life clinical cases show the application of concepts to evidence-based practice. - Holistic approach supports treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms of a disease or disorder, covering medical, physiological, psychological, psychosocial, therapeutic, practical, and methodological aspects. - Coverage includes both primary and secondary cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions. - An integrated approach to oxygen transport demonstrates how the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems function together. - Emphasis on the terminology and guidelines of APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice keeps the book consistent with the standards for practice in physical therapy. - Key terms and review questions in each chapter focus your learning on important concepts. - The Evolve companion website includes additional resources such as a case study guide, Archie animations, color images, video clips, WebLinks, and references with links to MEDLINE abstracts. - Full-color photos and illustrations enhance your understanding of the book's concepts. - Two new Mobilization and Exercise chapters cover physiologic principles along with application to practice. - Information on airway clearance techniques is revised and condensed into one comprehensive chapter. - New reference style makes it easier to find resources by replacing the old author-date references with numbered superscripts linked to MEDLINE abstracts.
