This book was written by a physiotherapist who became the patient. From her unique perspective, Janet Delorme recognized and understood a complex problem that might otherwise go undiagnosed. Do these symptoms sound familiar? * Cannot tolerate repetitive/forceful arm movement, especially overhead. * Arm feels “weak” * Fatigue, shortness of breath, sense of arm “disconnect” or a twisted body * Pain in shoulder but also in the back, neck, arm or head. These symptoms suggest instability of the chest wall, the most familiar cause of which is long thoracic nerve palsy. With an unstable chest wall, diagnostic tests of the “shoulder” are often negative and complaints of fatigue and shortness of breath are unsubstantiated from a medical perspective. This complex problem will often require patients and therapists to work together. This book was written for both the therapist and the patient. It provides insightful information about this condition and explains how to modify activities and lifestyle to manage symptoms and restore a “new normal”. The book also teaches key elements necessary for recovery: movement principles and exercise programs. Not all people recover. Many make a full recovery. Both outcomes are addressed with advice for every step of the recovery process.
Sometimes, a ‘winging scapula’ reveals a disabling scapulothoracic condition. Sometimes it does not. Often, despite no observable winging, debilitating scapulothoracic conditions go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This “shoulder” problem is poorly understood. Disruption of essential scapular connections within the chest wall results in multiple, seemingly unrelated symptoms, obfuscating the true source of the problem. Scapular dyskinesis can masquerade as a neck problem, a back problem, a chest, head or arm problem. Current musculoskeletal assessments do not identify an isolated scapulothoracic condition unless there is obvious deformity or X-ray evidence of a fracture. In 2012, Janet Delorme, a physiotherapist with over thirty years’ experience in orthopedic assessment and treatment, suffered a peculiar loss of movement and strength in her arm. Only a physiotherapist would puzzle over this problem. Her curiosity and persistence, her specialized knowledge and experience, andher unique opportunity to truly understand this problem from the “inside” has unlocked an entirely new understanding of this complex biomechanical region. This assessment method is presented in an easy-to-use format, and it can be added to an existing assessment protocol. It is designed for any clinician who has the desire to learn how to recognize and manage a condition that may otherwise go undiagnosed.
In Bordeaux: The Bitter Finish, thirty-year-old, NYPD detective Max Maguire returns to France as bodyguard to a famous American wine critic. But when her client turns up dead in her hotel room, and a precious bottle of wine goes missing, Max has no choice but to team up with examining magistrate and former lover, Olivier Chaumont. Max, using aggressive tactics learned from her homicide detective father, stays one step ahead of Olivier in the investigation. Olivier's more elegant approach takes them into the heart of Bordeaux society where he is sure the murderer and some fine dining lurks. Is a counterfeit wine operation with ties to New York somehow connected to the critic's murder? Readers are introduced to the fascinating world of fine wine, and to a cast of characters (and suspects) sure to keep even the most discerning critic on the edge of her seat.
Upon its introduction in 1839, the daguerreotype was hailed as a magical reflection of reality. Today, these early examples of the first practical photographic process offer fascinating windows into the past. The daguerreotypes collected here not only document the birth of photography and its aesthetic and historical legacy but also provide insight into French art and culture. Lavishly illustrated, this volume is the first complete catalog of the French daguerreotype collection of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House. Janet E. Buerger uses this remarkable collection of images to produce a cultural history of the daguerreotype's most learned following—an elite group of mid-nineteenth-century intellectuals who sought to understand and develop the usefulness, potential, and beauty of this camera image. This varied group, including entrepreneurs, painters, scientists, and historians, enables Buerger to trace the influence of photography into virtually every area of nineteenth-century European intellectual life.

Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, Absence of Malice, Out of Africa, Tootsie, The Firm, Searching for Bobby Fischer--Sydney Pollack has produced, directed or appeared in some of the biggest and most influential films of the last quarter century. His emergence in Hollywood coincided with those of such other innovative directors as John Frankenheimer, George Roy Hill and Sidney Lumet, and with them he helped develop a contemplative style of filmmaking that was almost European in its approach but retained its commercial viability. Film-by-film, this work examines the directorial career of Sydney Pollack. One finds that his style is marked by deliberate pacing, ambiguous endings and metaphorical love stories. Topically, Pollack's films reflect social, culture and political dilemmas that hold some fascination for him, with multidimensional characters in place that generally break the stereotypical molds of the situations. Pollack's directing efforts on television are also detailed, as are his production and acting credits.

This book is an analysis of thinking, remembering and reminiscing according to ancient authors, and their medieval readers. The author argues that behind the various medieval methods in interpreting texts of the past lie two apparently incompatible theories of human knowledge and remembering, as well as two differing attitudes to matter and intellect. The book comprises a series of studies which take ancient texts as evidence of the past, and show how medieval readers and writers understood them. The studies confirm that medieval and renaissance interpretations and uses of the past differ greatly from modern interpretation and yet betray many startling continuities between modern and ancient and medieval theories.
