The gunfighter known as Brolin was thought to have been dead for
the past ten years. That was until Red Mike Stall and his outlaws
hijacked the westbound train and attempted to murder everyone on
board. Stall recognized Brolin from the old days and left him to
burn in the abandoned church with the other passengers. He should
have shot Brolin then and there because the gunfighter managed to
escape and now is dogging the bloody trail Stall has left in his
wake. With the help of Emmett King, a greenhorn store owner who
lost his son to a stray bullet from the outlaws, the pair
eventually catch up to Stall in the town of Miller's Crossing. In a
final bloody showdown, can a dead man win the day? Or will a killer
continue his murderous rampage across the high country? And what is
the secret Brolin is hiding?
The experienced editors of Practical Strategies in Geriatric Mental
Health: Cases and Approaches recognize that older patients can pose
unique challenges to general practitioners working outside this
specialty, and that the shortage of geriatric mental health
specialists makes the creation of trustworthy, user-friendly
resources more critical than ever. In response, they produced this
book to be accessible not only to physicians and mental health
practitioners, but also to a broader audience of care and service
providers for older adults, such as social workers and nurses. From
the depressed patient who has not responded to one or more trials
of antidepressants and is now losing weight and rarely leaving
home, to the patient with major neurocognitive disorder whose
behavior has become increasingly difficult for caregivers, older
adults frequently present with complex diagnostic and treatment
challenges. Each chapter focuses on a specific symptom or disorder
(e.g., depressive symptoms/syndromes, anxiety, neurocognitive
disorder with behavioral disturbance, grief) and begins with a
"chief complaint," borrowed from common real-world clinical
scenarios. A brief clinical vignette portrays how the chief
complaint is often presented, followed by relevant discussion of
practical approaches to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. These
cases bring the material to life and illustrate relevant clinical
applications, as well as the nuances of common presentations. *
Chapters are consistent in structure, flowing from the case
illustration to diagnostic and assessment tools to treatment
options, and ending with a return to the case to integrate the
material presented.* Clinical guidelines and assessment tools
suitable for both nonexperts and experts are provided for use in
clinical encounters to assess functioning and treatment
effectiveness.* Easy-to-follow algorithms, brief behavioral
interventions, additional resources (e.g., organizations, websites,
books to recommend to patients and families), and clear, take-home
pearls are also included, making this text a valuable repository of
usable information.* The text acknowledges the reality that the
patient belongs to a family system. Family members, who are often
also caregivers, have questions and fears-and their own medical and
mental health conditions. Accordingly, the authors carefully
consider family input and influence on the clinical situation.
Comorbid medical conditions, the increased likelihood of medication
interactions, and the presence of cognitive changes all can
complicate and confuse the clinical picture. Practical Strategies
in Geriatric Mental Health: Cases and Approaches brings the
geriatric psychiatrist's knowledge base and armamentarium to the
reader, who will find its guidance essential and empowering.

This true saga recounts the life of the author's mother, who earned
the nickname of the book's title. A small woman, what she lacked in
stature, she gained in spirit. Poverty, disappointment with her
family, tragedy and poor health demanded every spark of her spirit
as the years passed. She married a penniless Southern lad whose
only assets were the clothes on his back and an indomitable will to
work and succeed. They faced the storms of life together. The only
thing that ever trembled on that frail little Yankee woman was her
chin.
After the Civil War, railroads were built to link the Atlantic and
Pacific Coasts of the reunited nation. South of the Mason-Dixon
line, work gangs were either Negro or Irish. The O'Dunn family was
employed for three generations as Trackmen that built or maintained
railroad tracks in the Southern states. Teddie O'Dunn was a
telegrapher-depot agent, or "lightning slinger." Born in Tennessee,
the youngest child of a rowdy Irish father and an orphan girl
raised in West Virginia, he was named for President Teddie
Roosevelt. His boyhood days were spent in the Civil War prison camp
in the town of Andersonville, Georgia. He learned telegraphy at the
knee of a kindly woman agent-operator at the Central of Georgia
Railroad Depot. Sixty miles southeast of Andersonville was a Colony
City, Fitzgerald. Teddie went to Fitzgerald to work as a lightning
slinger on the railroad connecting the new town to Atlanta and
Florida. His family admonished him to have no association with
Yankee girls that paraded the sidewalks of Fitzgerald. But Teddie
was lightning struck, so to speak, by a small bundle of charm, the
granddaughter of a Calvary man in General Sherman's army. Their
trials, tribulations and heartaches through their years fill this
book
Dunn recalls his home town of Fitzgerald, Georgia, circa 1946,
touring the town which is rich in history and tradition. This is a
true slice of nostalgic small-town Americana.
This book presents current research in the study of various cancer
treatments. It discusses topics that include anticancer drugs and
anticancer agents; design of novel anticancer drugs; aromatase
inhibitors; aromatase inhibitors for the medical treatment of
endometriosis; the use of aromatase inhibitors in ovarian cancer
and identification of responsive tumours; inherent and
microenvironment-mediated mechanisms of drug resistance; targeting
adverse features of hormone-resistant breast cancer; and,
systematic analysis of patterns of cross resistance between
anticancer agents and treating drug resistant malignancy.
Although data exist to support the notion that physician self-care
is correlated with patient care, the culture of medicine has
traditionally valued the ideals of self-sacrifice and
perfectionism-often to the detriment of clinicians themselves.
Professional Well-Being: Enhancing Wellness Among Psychiatrists,
Psychologists, and Mental Health Clinicians, the result of a
collaboration by several psychologists and psychiatrists in the
School of Medicine at Stanford University, posits a new culture,
one that is supportive of the health and well-being of health care
professionals and the patients and populations they serve. The
book's first section examines individual and systemic barriers to
professional well-being, chronicling the unique challenges faced by
health care providers at different stages of professional and
personal development. Detailed case studies and vignettes
illustrate effective methods for reducing burnout while also
enhancing professional fulfillment. Thought-provoking discussion
questions encourage readers to focus on implementation tactics
applicable to their own health care practices. Part II discusses
personal resilience and realistic strategies-from the mental and
social to the physical-to improve well-being. Specific exercises
encourage mental health professionals to engage in pragmatic action
for improved personal and professional well-being. Throughout the
book, a wealth of tables and figures illustrate important points.
The inclusion of "positive practices" and recommended readings
offers readers the opportunity to integrate what they have learned
and to expand their study. Patients benefit when treated by
clinicians who value and model self-care. Professional Well-Being
outlines for mental health care providers, including psychiatrists,
psychologists, mental health clinicians, and trainees, how to
become such a professional.
This book explores the U.S. forest service plans for responding to
climate change. The mission of the Forest Service, U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA), is to sustain the health, diversity and
productivity of the Nation's forests and grasslands to meet the
needs of present and future generations. These services are
connected and sustained through the integrity of the ecosystems on
these lands. Most of the urgent forest and grassland management
challenges of the past 20 years, such as wildfires, changing water
regimes and expanding forest insect infestations, have been driven
in part by a changing climate and future impacts are projected to
be even more severe.
