Book SynopsisJennifer Terry traces how biomedical logics entangle Americans in a perpetual state of war, in which new forms of wounding necessitate the continual development of treatment and prosthetic technologies while the military justifies violence and military occupation as necessary conditions for advancing medical knowledge.Trade Review“Attachments to War provides a set of tools that will be valuable to students and established scholars alike for prizing apart and connecting together these attachments in new and vitally necessary ways.” -- Kenneth MacLeish * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"Terry’s work is eye-opening to a powerful new perspective on the American way of war. Her scholarship is well researched and carefully supported. . . . A fascinating piece of scholarship concerning a tragically understudied subject." -- James Sandy * H-Diplo, H-Net Reviews *"Terry’s work serves as a critical reminder that biomedicine, 'as both an epistemological formation and an industry,' sutures war to care, laboring to convince the public that the knowledge produced through warfare justifies its violence. The crucial work of dismantling US empire, Terry reminds her reader, is to reject that 'labyrinth of excuses.'" -- Jennifer Kelly * Radical History Review *Table of ContentsAbbreviations ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction 1 1.

SLACK Incorporated Prosthetics and Patient Management: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach
Book SynopsisProsthetics and Patient Management: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach is an innovative text covering both upper and lower extremity prosthetics. All the information clinicians need to manage a range of patients with amputations and their disorders is available in this practical and all-inclusive text. Kevin Carroll and Joan E. Edelstein, together with internationally recognized leaders, present a multidisciplinary team approach to the care of a patient with an amputation. Prosthetics and Patient Management covers practical solutions to everyday problems that clinicians encounter, from early prosthetic management to issues facing the more advanced user. The text is divided into four sections encompassing the range of subjects that confront practitioners including Early Management; Rehabilitation of Patients with Lower Limb Amputation; Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper Limb Amputations; and Beyond the Basics, which includes special considerations for children and futuristic concepts. Prosthetics and Patient Management will provide expert guidance for dealing with a wide array of patients and is a must-have for clinicians and students in physical therapy, certified prosthetists, and orthopedists interested in the wide-ranging field of prosthetics and amputations. Trade Review"This book fulfils its aim of providing a comprehensive approach to prosthetics and patient management…..It is well laid out and progresses logically….. This would be useful in a physiotherapy department where patients are treated following amputation." — Penny Broomhead, Physiotherapy “I feel one of the most helpful aspects of this book was the Appendix. In this section, the authors included a physical therapy intake form, pain questionnaire and physical therapy evaluation form. I found these to be a good starting point for any therapist with little experience evaluating and treating this patient population.” — Kristen Kwiatkowski-Digwood, ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants “If there is a display of publications related to rehabilitation, you will be drawn by the montage cover to the new Carroll/Edelstein book. With photographs of five patients (three of them children) you probably will order it on the spot. . . Excellent photographs as well as references." — Jay Schleichkorn, PhD, PT, Dr. Jay’s E-Book Reports "The illustrations help to clarify descriptions of devices in the book….This is a good addition to a collection for those interested in amputee management and care. It is easy to read and easy to understand – well written overall." — Rachna H.
