The case studies in this book use authentic injury assessment
examples to help readers link theory and clinical practice with the
goal of becoming competent clinicians. The situations are realistic
and present more than 130 of the injuries that athletic trainers
may encounter in the real world. The questions that accompany the
cases ask readers to identify clinical and differential diagnoses,
critique the evaluating clinician's actions, recommend treatment,
comment on ethical choices, and make many of the decisions they
will face in the field. The cases encourage readers to think and
problem solve; evidence-based answers (for select cases in the text
and for all cases in the instructor's manual) ensure that the
recommended clinical decisions are based on the best available
research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences rather than
on anecdotal practice.
Athletic and Orthopedic Injury Assessment: Case Responses and
Interpretations is a companion book that provides responses and
interpretations to the case studies in Athletic and Orthopedic
Injury Assessment: A Case Study Approach. Research, evidence-based
practices, and professional experience form the basis of these
responses and interpretations. The suggested answers for case
questions include information such as identification of
differential and clinical diagnoses, explanations of diagnostic
tests, relevant anatomical information, and more. We hope you find
this book helpful in responding to the case questions, whether you
are an instructor leading class discussions and analyzing student
work, a preprofessional preparing to interpret the case scenarios
on the BOC national certification examination, or a student seeking
to compare the suggested answers with your own analyses.

Recent federal court activity has dramatically changed the
regulatory environment of campaign finance in the United States.
Since 2010, the judiciary has decided that corporations and labor
unions may freely spend in American elections, and that so-called
"Super PACs" can accept unlimited contributions from private
citizens for the purpose of buying election advertising. Despite
the potential for such unregulated contributions to dramatically
alter the conduct of campaigns, little is known about where Super
PACs get their money, where they spend it, or how their message
compares with other political groups. Moreover, we know almost
nothing about whether individual citizens even notice Super PACs,
or whether they distinguish between Super PAC activity and
political activity by other political groups. This book addresses
those questions. Using campaign finance data, election returns,
advertising archives, a public opinion survey, and interviews with
congressional candidates in the 2012 election, Super PAC! provides
unprecedented insight into the behavior of these organizations, and
how they affect public opinion and voting behavior. The first
in-depth exploration of the topic, this book will make significant
contributions in both political science and applied policy.

In the wake of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission
(2010), the case that allowed corporate and union spending in
elections, many Americans despaired over the corrosive influence
that private and often anonymous money can have on political
platforms, campaigns, and outcomes at the federal and state level.
In McComish v. Bennett (2011), the Supreme Court declared
unconstitutional the matching funds feature of so-called Clean
Elections public financing laws, but there has been no strong
challenge to the constitutionality of public funding as such. In
Subsidizing Democracy, Michael G. Miller considers the impact of
state-level public election financing on political campaigns
through the eyes of candidates. Miller s insights are drawn from
survey data obtained from more than 1,000 candidates, elite
interview testimony, and twenty years of election data. This book
is therefore not only an effort to judge the effects of existing
public election funding but also a study of elite behavior,
campaign effects, and the structural factors that influence
campaigns and voters.
The presence of publicly funded candidates in elections, Miller
reports, results in broad changes to the electoral system,
including more interaction between candidates and the voting public
and significantly higher voter participation. He presents evidence
that by providing neophytes with resources that would have been
unobtainable otherwise, subsidies effectively manufacture quality
challengers. Miller describes how matching-funds provisions of
Clean Elections laws were pervasively manipulated by candidates and
parties and were ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court. A
revealing book that will change the way we think about campaign
funding, Subsidizing Democracy concludes with an evaluation of
existing proposals for future election policy in light of Miller s
findings."
