Paperback. Condición: Good. If you, or someone you love, has had a stroke, you've probably already discovered that it's extremely hard to get a simple, straightforward explanation of what happened and what you can do about it. Much of what you'll hear from your doctors is cloaked in nearly incomprehensible medical jargon. This book, written by a stroke victim and his neurologist, explains the causes, diagnosis and treatment of stroke in plain language. You'll learn about: - Common Causes & Effects of Stroke - Getting Immediate Help - Rehabilitation Hospitals & Outpatient Care - Home Health Care Agencies - The Role of Physical, Occupational, Speech 
& Psychological Therapists - Choosing the Proper Assistive Devices - The Role of the Caregiver Also included is a helpful guide to stroke terminology, plus an extensive list of online resources. As Professor Emeritus of Special Education at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, Dr. F. Douglas Prillaman had a thorough understanding of physical, mental and socio-emotional handicaps. However, no amount of formal training could have prepared him for the life-changing experience of suffering a major stroke which left him partially paralyzed, brain damaged and permanently disabled. This book, written with his son, Tom Willett, and noted neurologist, Dr. S. James Shafer, offers a first-person account of surviving and recovering from a stroke, accompanied by expert medical commentary from a leader in the field. Of special interest are the insights and tips for caregivers offered by Dr. Prillaman's wife, Eleanor. About the Authors Dr. F. Douglas Prillaman, Ed.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Nicholas Alexandrovich Berdyaev (1874-1948) was a Russian philosopher and activist who changed the philosophical, aesthetic and religious landscape of the 20th century. The author of more than 15 books and nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times, he spoke in a new way about the centrality of creativity to what it means to be human. In 1922, along with other elite representatives of Russian culture, science and theology, Berdyaev was exiled from Russia by the Soviet authorities on the renown 'Philosophers' Ship.' For the rest of his life he lived in an expatriate who dreamed of returning to his homeland. In his seminal work, The Meaning of the Creative Act, which contains in raw form all of his dominant and formative ideas, he noted that 'the importance and the interesting aspect in humans is connected with the opening up in them of the path towards the Infinite and the Eternal, with the possibility of breaking through. Creativeness is a transition beyond the limits of this world.' Creativity Will Save the World presents the most evocative sections of The Meaning. along with excerpts from other Berdyaev books and articles in which he further elucidates his main theme that 'God calls us to creative activity and to a creative answer to God's love.' To those who aspire to the privileged and terrifying role of 'artist,' and to the rest of us who simply desire to practice a more humane spirituality and a more spiritual humanism, this book is dedicated. Tom Willett (1950- ) is an American musician, entertainment industry executive, educator and author who has been involved in the creation and marketing of more than 300 award-winning record albums. His work has been cited in 'Billboard,' 'Rolling Stone,' the 'L.A. Times,' 'Entertainment Weekly' and Image Journal. He is the creator of Van Gogh to Go, a 3-volume series presenting van Gogh's most evocative quotes and paintings about art, work and spirituality, plus the online project, Into The Mystic.From the Editor'Throughout my career as a musician, booking agent, artist manager, Artist & Repertoire executive, marketing VP, educator, and author I have felt compelled to attempt to fashion, for lack of a better term, a 'Rock and Roll Theological Aesthetic.' By that I do not mean a philosophy of religious art per se, but an exploration into how great art, even popular music, by its sheer originality and excellence, can transport the listener from the here-and-now to what seems another realm, another place, another way of being. To quote The Door's Jim Morrison, I marvel at how compelling expressions of creativity can help us 'break on through to the other side.' To that I would add the wisdom of Mssrs. Jagger and Richards, 'I know it's only Rock and Roll, but I like it.''For your consideration as 'Patron Saint of the New Spiritual Humanism, ' may I suggest Nicholas Berdyaev.'.…
