This book provides an overview of sleep and sleep disorders for
practicing clinicians. Sleep disorders represent a major portion of
the chief complaints seen by pulmonologists and other clinicians.
Patients with sleep-related conditions often present with
non-specific complaints that require a broad and detailed knowledge
of the wide range of sleep disorders and their consequences. This
concise, evidence-based review of sleep medicine offers a guide to
pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and all clinicians
involved in caring for patients with sleep disorders. Providing a
focused, scientific basis for the effects of sleep on human
physiology, especially cardiac and respiratory physiology, chapters
also outline a differential diagnosis for common sleep complaints
and an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management. This
includes a review of the current standards of practice and of
emerging technology and unresolved issues awaiting further
research. In all, this book provides a clear diagnostic and
management program for all the different sleep disorders and
includes key points and summaries. This new edition expands the
scope of the previous to include additional sleep disorders and the
most affected populations. Six new chapters are added on health
disparities in sleep medicine, models of care for patients with
sleep disorders/care coordination, sleep disordered breathing in
pediatric populations, sleep in hospitalized patients, sleep in
pregnancy, and sleep in older patients. Essentials of Sleep
Medicine is an invaluable resource for physicians, clinical
psychologists, respiratory care practitioners, polysomnographic
technologists, graduate students, clinical researchers, and other
health professionals seeking an in-depth review of sleep medicine.

This up-to-date, candid examination of women's careers in education
and leadership in education describes the pitfalls, triumphs, and
future promise of female leaders in education. Overall, education
is a field still dominated by women, yet women do not typically
pursue or attain leadership positions at the administrative level.
Research has revealed some of the reasons for this: women still
experience gender discrimination in education careers, experience
higher attrition rates, and have slower career mobility than do
men. Additionally, women in education are apparently less valued,
and their performance is more critically evaluated, as in other
fields. This insightful text shows the gender-based inequities and
discrimination women face when aiming for leadership positions in
education, and lays out a plan to bring success to this level of
the field that is still male-dominated. Women as Leaders in
Education: Succeeding Despite Inequity, Discrimination, and Other
Challenges is the result of a team of leading feminist educators
and scholars. It delves into feminist women's leadership in
education from kindergarten to graduate school. This two-volume
work assesses the historical and current political landscape with
regard to women hitting a "glass ceiling," issues of social
justice, and the unique challenges women face in educational
leadership as well as the new field of teacher leadership.

Covering equity issues of sex, race, class, age, sexual
orientation, and disability, this work presents creative,
nontraditional narratives about performing social justice work,
acknowledging the contributions of previous generations, describing
current challenges, and appealing to readers to join the struggle
toward a better world. Many would like to believe we are living as
"post-racial" America, long past the days of discrimination and
marginalization of people simply due to their race and minority
status. However, editor Jennifer L. Martin and a breadth of expert
contributors show that prejudice and discrimination are still very
much alive in the United States. Sharing personal stories of
challenges, aggressions, retaliations, and finally racial battle
fatigue, these activists, practitioners, and scholars explain how
they have been attacked-in subtle, shrouded, and sometimes outright
ways-simply for whom and what they advocate: social justice. The
stories within consist of discussions on the interconnections among
equity issues: sex, race, class, age, sexual orientation, and
disability. Furthermore, the work relates current events such as
the banning of ethnic studies in Arizona and the shooting of
Trayvon Martin to the battle for social justice. Other topics
addressed include the ongoing problems of white supremacist
beliefs, the challenges of teaching about the racist thinking that
permeates our media and popular culture, and the harms of
aggressions faced by minorities and those possessing multiple
minority status. The unique narratives presented in this
single-volume work combine the various approaches to answering
questions about not only the necessity of fighting for social
justice but also the impact of the struggle on its champions.
Details personal stories of the struggles of social justice
advocacy work in the field and in the academy Addresses the myth of
post-racial America and realities of ongoing white supremacy
Explains the challenges and methods of teaching about racism in the
current media and popular culture Presents a diverse group of
authors detailing disparate perspectives and experiences Advises
students, novice scholars, and practitioners interested in engaging
in social justice work
