Vestibular Disorders, Third Edition, uses a case-study approach to
outline the principles and practice of the care of patients with
dizziness and balance disorders. The text reflects the combined
perspectives and experience of a neurologist (Dr. Furman) a
neurotologic surgeon (Dr. Cass), and a physical therapist (Dr.
Whitney). Each case study contains relevant material regarding
history, physical examination, laboratory testing, differential
diagnosis, and treatment. This material provides a springboard for
discussion of either a concept in the field of vestibular disorders
or the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease state.
Practical, specific treatment options are discussed throughout the
book. The book is written to a wide audience and educational level
of readers including Primary Care Physicians, Otolaryngologists,
Neurologists, Physical Therapist, and Audiologists. The case-format
style of the book lends itself to use in teaching programs
involving medical students, residents, physical therapy students,
and audiology students, and as a reference text for clinicians at
the bedside. Each of the cases from the first and second editions
have been updated, the background material has been expanded and
eight new cases have been added. Vestibular Disorders, Third
Edition, aims to span the gap between existing in-depth tests and
the problems that arise whenever a patient presents with dizziness.
In "Mobilizing Youth," Susan B. Whitney examines how youth moved to
the forefront of French politics in the two decades following the
First World War. In those years Communists and Catholics forged the
most important youth movements in France. Focusing on the competing
efforts of the two groups to mobilize the young and harness
generational aspirations, Whitney traces the formative years of the
Young Communists and the Young Christian Workers, including their
female branches. She analyzes the ideologies of the movements,
their major campaigns, their styles of political and religious
engagement, and their approaches to male and female activism. As
Whitney demonstrates, the recasting of gender roles lay at the
heart of Catholic efforts and became crucial to Communist
strategies in the mid-1930s.
Moving back and forth between the constantly shifting tactics
devised to mobilize young people and the circumstances of their
lives, Whitney gives special consideration to the context in which
the youth movements operated and in which young people made
choices. She traces the impact of the First World War on the young
and on the formulation of generation-based political and religious
identities, the role of work and leisure in young people's lives
and political mobilization, the impact of the Depression, the
importance of Soviet ideas and intervention in French Communist
youth politics, and the state's attention to youth after the
victory of France's Popular Front government in 1936. "Mobilizing
Youth" concludes by inserting the era's youth activists and
movements into the complicated events of the Second World War.
