The inspirational tale of three lost souls as their choices lead them down an unexpected path to the truth. Even though his girlfriend is doing her best to convince him that Jesus is God, Brooks just wants to live his life, not tie himself to a church pew. Indigo is grateful her best friend doesn’t browbeat her to follow Christ because the more she learns about science, the less she believes in God. Ilaria’s husband has been concerned about her for some time. She and their oldest daughter belong to what he feels is a horrible cult. Somehow he has to find a way to reach both of them, before it is too late. A short time later as their lives suddenly collide, Brooks, Indigo, and Ilaria discover they have already made the most important decision of their eternity. Unfortunately, it is the wrong choice. Now the battle for their souls is over. They have taken their final breath, their decision is irreversible, and there are no second chances. One Final Breath shares the inspirational tale of three lost souls as their choices lead them down an unexpected path to the truth.

Teaching and Researching Speaking

Third Edition

By: Rebecca Hughes,Beatrice Szczepek Reed

Teaching and Researching Speaking provides an overview of the main approaches to researching spoken language and their practical application to teaching, classroom materials, and assessment. The history and current practices of teaching and researching speaking are presented through the lens of bigger theoretical issues about the object of study in linguistics, social attitudes to the spoken form, and the relationships between spoken and written language. A unique feature of the book is the way it clearly explains the nature of speaking and how it is researched and puts it into the context of a readable and holistic overview of language theory. This new edition is fully updated and revised to reflect the latest developments on classroom materials and oral assessment, as well as innovations in conversation analysis. The resources section is brought up-to-date with new media and currently available networks, online corpora, and mobile applications. This is a key resource for applied linguistics students, English language teachers, teacher trainers, and novice researchers.

Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning

A Team Approach, Fifth Edition

By: Rebecca Leonard,Katherine Kendall

An invaluable text for dysphagia courses in speech-language pathology programs, Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Team Approach, Fifth Edition integrates the fundamentals of aerodigestive tract anatomy and physiology with objective assessment techniques and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Contributors from speech-language pathology, otolaryngology, and gastroenterology present a variety of perspectives across domains of the professionals who serve patients with swallowing disorders. The in-depth, evidence-based assessment techniques and treatment models represent the most current dysphagia research and best practices. The book’s organization reflects the progression of most graduate-level dysphagia courses, with assessment techniques presented in the first half and special populations discussed in the latter half. The fifth edition has been thoroughly updated, with expanded references, perspectives on recently published literature reviews, and additional figures and tables. The authors have also added new pedagogical features and content revisions: * Treatment approaches have been updated to include new material on neuroplasticity, chin tuck against resistance (CTAR), and prophylactic strategies. * A new chapter on telehealth and dysphagia is available on the companion website and in the ebook version. * The chapter on endoscopy has been enhanced and expanded. * The chapters on fluoroscopy have been streamlined and condensed. * A new chapter focuses on the impact of dysphagia on the airway and how artificial airways may affect swallowing function. * The most recent nutrition guidelines have been updated, with a special focus on integration of texture modifications and dietary preferences with optimal nutrition. * The pediatrics chapter now provides a detailed discussion of thickeners and adequate nutrition. * End-of-chapter reflection questions have been updated. * Effective and well-documented examples of specific treatments have been included as supplementary boxes. * Additional videos with case studies are available. Also available is a separate companion workbook for students, Dysphagia Assessment and Treatment Planning Workbook, Fifth Edition. The workbook includes practical exercises aligned with each chapter of the textbook. The activities and questions are designed to clarify and expand on information presented in the text and should be of interest not only to students but also to practicing clinicians seeking fresh approaches. The workbook has been thoroughly updated to reflect the new organization and content of the textbook. Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content such as bonus chapter material may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.
