A comprehensive study of the training aircraft used to transition
the United States military into the jet age. At the end of World
War II, high-performance jets with unfamiliar operating
characteristics were replacing propeller-driven airplanes. As
accident rates soared, the Air Force and Navy recognized the need
to develop new trainers to introduce fledgling as well as
experienced pilots to jet flight. The first step occurred in 1948,
when a two-seat jet trainer, the T-33, was developed with private
funds. It was welcomed by the Air Force and subsequently the Navy,
allowing both services to start building modern air arms. Over time
other new trainers were developed to serve specific needs while
innovations, such as high fidelity simulators, accelerated the
process, reduced costs, and increased safety. The evolution
continues today with the goal of producing high-quality newly
winged aviators for assignment to operational squadrons.
""I regard this as a long overdue and highly relevant addition to
the literature on dementia care. Its grounding in the reality of
practice and realistic approach will make it a very valuable
workbook for a wide range of car workers. The book will play a
large part in helping to improve dementia care by presenting a
vision and manual for 'best fit' realistic practice."
Danny Walsh, University of Nottingham, UK"

postgraduate students. The strong emphasis on person centred
approaches and relationships permeates throughout the book and the
activities presented provide the reader with the opportunity to
reflect upon their own practice and the best fit options identify
interventions for consideration."
Sandra Fleming, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College

"The Dementia Care Workbook" is a valuable companion and
learning tool for all those working with people with dementia
Dementia not only affects the person presented with the diagnosis,
but their family and friends too. This book provides practitioners
with strategies to support the whole family and understand their
dementia journey both pre- and post-diagnosis. This is facilitated
through a series of activities and reflective prompts. There is
also a dedicated chapter offering structured exercises for health
and social care practitioners and students. The book introduces the
Lawrence family, where Peter has been diagnosed with dementia, and
provides perspectives from each family member, allowing
practitioners to become acquainted with the lived experience of
everyone involved. The reflective questions allow readers to become
actively engaged to maximise their knowledge and understanding, and
to better contextualize what the dementia experience feels like for
family and friends. With its focus on the all-important lived
experience of the whole family during the diagnostic process and
beyond, this is essential reading for any practitioner working with
people with dementia.

Since his first visit to Taos at age nineteen, Jerry Jordan was
"captured" by the land, sky, and Indigenous peoples of Northern New
Mexico. "I will never forget the feeling of awe," he says. "I
remember taking a deep breath and thinking, How would I paint
that?" Six decades later, Jordan remains in awe with each colorful
canvas conveying his oneness with the common threads that unite
people across time and place. This insider's look at Jordan's
career highlights times of agony and defeat, chance encounters, and
divine interventions. It's an inspired tale in which Jordan reminds
us that we are all "riding on the back of hope, pointing our face
toward our dreams . . . and walking our destiny with the God-given
talent placed in our DNA." Often compared to art by the fabled Taos
Society of Artists, Jordan's paintings are distinguished by loads
of paint, vibrant pigments, animated brushwork, pulsing patterns,
and titles that speak to the soul.
Hockey has always been a sport steeped in a culture of violence,
and players universally calibrate the level of physical contact by
adhering to unwritten rules known simply as The Code. As mysterious
as it is sacred, The Code is the bible of hockey sportsmanship that
is handed down from generation to generation. The Code picks up
where the rulebook leaves off and fills in the gaps, all in an
effort to govern the game and its players--allowing them to compete
in a manner deemed fair and respectful. To fully understand the
significance and history behind The Code, Ross Bernstein, author of
more than 30 sports books, interviewed more than 50 current and
former NHL players, coaches, and media personalities. Their
insights and stories explain why fighting is allowed in the
National Hockey League and how The Code allows the players to
police themselves both on and off the ice. That is what The Code is
all about--respect, accountability, pride, and honor.
