Through the medium of detailed clinical case reports, written by
well-respected clinicians and researchers working internationally
in the field, Clinical Cases in Dysarthria discusses the
challenges, and rewards of applying evidence-based procedures to
people with dysarthria in real-life busy routine clinical settings.
The text opens with an introduction to the latest research and
practices within dysarthria treatment and sets the scene for the
eight individual case reports which follow. These case reports form
the core chapters of the text and cover themes that range from
clinical diagnostic conundrums to applying popular, and/or novel
intervention approaches to different populations where dysarthria
presents. Each chapter has a specific argument drawing on
theoretical principles of assessment and rehabilitation,
incorporating latest research evidence to help readers
problem-solve similar cases in their clinical practice. Throughout
the text, readers are encouraged to 'think outside the box'. This
book will be essential for undergraduate and postgraduate student
clinicians within speech and language therapy/pathology courses, as
well as clinicians new to the field of dysarthria.

Dysphagia is a complex condition that can have significant social,
developmental and psychological effects. Alongside the physiology
and pathophysiology of the condition, dysphagia can rob patients of
the most basic pleasures, such as eating and drinking, causing
ongoing difficulties for individuals in social situations
throughout the lifespan. As an acknowledged component of
evidence-based practice, the humble case report encourages clinical
reflection and may be the spark that generates new thinking and
motivation for future research. Clinical Cases in Dysphagia
provides an opportunity to gain insight into the unique and varied
presentation and management of dysphagia across a range of
different conditions. With chapters provided by expert clinicians
and based on clinical examples 'from the trenches', the reader may
gain insights into their own practice patterns, refining their
clinical problem solving and valuing the education that is offered
to each of us by our patients. With additional online resources to
support the case-based approach, the book emphasizes the importance
of multidisciplinary care and reflects everyday clinical practice,
making it a must-read for clinicians and students.
Published in 1997, each volume in this new series is a collection
of seminal articles on a theme of central importance in the study
of transport history, selected from the leading journal in the
field. Each contains between ten and a dozen articles selected by a
distinguished scholar, as well as an authoritative new introduction
by the volume editor. Individually they will form an essential
foundation to the study of the history of a mode of transport;
together they will make an incomparable librarty of the best modern
research in the field.
Working out Gender brings together leading scholars and young
researchers to examine the various ways in which gender is
currently being used in labour history. Having been a dynamic and
contentious category of historical analysis since the mid 1980s
gender continues to incite much debate. This volume seeks a more
informed view about labour history both by advancing the position
of women and making their lives central to learning and by
examining men as gendered persons and discussing the social
construction of masculinity. A broad perspective of labour history
is scrutinised on both sides of the Atlantic, though the emphasis
is given to European experiences. Themes examined include work and
workplace activities, the working classes, masculinity and
politics, and the timespan ranges from the eighteenth century to
recent times.
An examination of the varied paths of the American inter-city bus
industry from its origins in the second decade of the 20th century
to deregulation in 1982. This sector of transport has been much
neglected by historians and this book seeks to uncover a range of
useful and pertinent information to those who are interested in
understanding entrepreneurial endeavours, patterns of mobility and
consumer attitudes. It analyzes the development of the national
industry, probes the growth of particular companies and
investigates specific aspects of business behaviour. The work is
presented as a series of focused essays which offer insights into
such topics as regulation, marketing, gender patterns and
intermodal competition. It draws on diverse archival materials,
government surveys and findings, trade publications, interviews and
photographs. A wide-ranging bibliographical essay offers a guide to
available sources.

This is a succinct survey of the numerous contributions to the
history of the American west. In the past twenty-five years
historians have created a 'New Western History', which has aimed to
rewrite the 'Old Western History' created around the famous Turner
thesis on the significance of the American Frontier. Focusing on
five main themes, this study examines and discusses the dynamics
and progress of recent scholarship. Consideration is given to
issues of land use, the environment, race, ethnicity, gender,
business and the development of communities. Synthesising prolific
research, the book offers a clear and up-to-date review for all
students of American history. A full bibliography is provided for
more extended study.

Imagine what it was like on that very first Christmas Eve. A
brilliant star gleams on a silent night in the little town of
Bethlehem. What does it all mean? Curl up by the fireplace with a
young one of any age and read the timeless tale of Jesus' birth
written by Mary Walsh with beautifully vivid illustrations by
Margaret Walsh. Great for children of all ages, 3 to 93
The history of the meat packing industry of the Midwest offers an
excellent illustration of the growth and development of the economy
of that major industrial region. In the course of one generation,
meat packing matured from a small-scale, part-time activity to a
specialized manufacturing operation. Margaret Walsh's pioneering
study traces the course of that development, shedding light on an
unexamined aspect of America's economic history. As the Midwest
emerged from the frontier period during the 1840s and 1850s, the
growing urban demand for meat products led to the development of a
seasonal industry conducted by general merchants during the winter
months. In this early stage the activity was widely dispersed but
centered mainly along rivers, which provided ready transportation
to markets. The growth of the railroads in the 1850s, coupled with
the westward expansion of population, created sharp changes in the
shape and structure of the industry. The distinct advantages of
good rail connections led to the concentration of the industry
primarily in Chicago, but also in St. Louis and Milwaukee. The
closing of the Mississippi River during the Civil War insured the
final dominance of rail transport and spelled the relative decline
of such formerly important packing points as Cincinnati and
Louisville. By the 1870s large and efficient centralized stockyards
were being developed in the major centers, and improved technology,
particularly ice-packing, favored those who had the capital
resources to invest in ex-pansion and modernization. By 1880, the
use of the refrigerated car made way for the chilled beef trade,
and the foundations of the giant meat packing industry of today had
been firmly established. Margaret Walsh has located an impressive
array of primary materials to document the rise of this important
early industry, the predecessor and in many ways the precursor of
the great industrial complex that still dominates today's
midwestern economy.
