Pediatric Therapy
Pediatric Therapy
Research has become increasingly clear regarding the benefits of interprofessional collaborations in health care. Pediatric therapists have long recognized that coordinated care and advocacy for children and their families promote healthy growth, development, and participation in a wide range of environments. To this end, Pediatric Therapy: An Interprofessional Framework for Practice has been designed to engage students and clinicians in interprofessional learning experiences that cultivate collaborative practice and optimize the outcomes of those served. Dr. Catherine Rush Thompson and her team of contributors represent years of experience across the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology. Rather than discussing each of these fields in isolation, however, the text explores professional roles and responsibilities, emphasizing essential skills needed for collaboration in a range of pediatric settings. Key Interprofessional Concepts Covered: Foundations and philosophies that serve as a basis for pediatric care Assessing infants, children, youth, and adolescents in various situations Legal and ethical considerations impacting pediatric care Unique issues encountered in settings where pediatric therapies are offered Using current evidence and the clinical reasoning process for designing and modifying interventions Each section of Pediatric Therapy offers case-based learning activities requiring interprofessional collaboration for clinical reasoning to optimize care. This approach encourages an appreciation of the importance of holistic care, as well as an understanding of the roles, frames of reference, and approaches favored by each discipline. Pediatric therapists and others who work in healthcare and educational settings will appreciate Pediatric Therapy: An Interprofessional Framework for Practice as a guide for developing the interprofessional competencies needed to achieve desired outcomes for children and their families.

Rush of Shadows
Rush of Shadows
When American pioneers set their hearts on a California valley where Indians had been living for thousands of years, a period of uneasy appraisal emerged, followed by conflict and soon enough by genocide. The epic greed and violence of the 1850's and 60's has been brushed aside by history, conveniently forgotten in the pride of conquest. Rush of Shadows brings to life two freethinking women, Mellie, a white, and Bahe, an Indian, who endure the clash of their cultures and come to an unlikely understanding.

Remember Me
Remember Me
A nonfiction book about an angelic visitation, in the fall of 2016. I was shown by an angel of the Lord a golden cup. It was beautiful, not ornamental at all, and it was brilliantly bright gold. No handles on it. The angel turned it completely around and then extended it to me, and the word "see" came upon my heart. It was then exactly 7 months later when I was told to flush the cups of four golden ones, down the toilets. Truly I say to you, four golden cups, showed up, in the spirit in a bathroom, in two toilets, two in each toilet. So I did, I flushed them down those toilets. The cup of remembrance that Jesus gave to his disciples at the last supper, was his last will and testament for all who believe him. It is in prophecies. For it has been forgotten in past generations, being put on the back burners in bible studies and the lives of those who profess to be his followers, and forgetting to read their bibles. Even so, in times past was even made an idol, that the cup itself held the power, so much so, that it has been hunted down, written about in Christian books, and enshrined with ornamental replicas, the name given it would be that called the Holly Grail. Lord Jesus never meant for the actual cup he used to become the focal point. As a testimony to the Lord Jesus and his power, it's not the cup or golden chalice, for I, a believer, and great lover of Jesus, for he gave me, communion, his holy bread and wine in the form of a chocolate chip cookie and a soda. My heart sings for joy as I write this book in the remembering of that day. Holy Spirit gave me this life giving sup, on a park bench outside of a Walmart, one beautiful day, just outside of Birmingham, Alabama that is. I lifted up each one, starting with the cookie, I broke it in half and partook of it, then I lifted up the soda and blessed it with the directions of the Holy Spirit. I then took a sup..... In Remembrance Of. The Lord is calling His children back, to drink the Cup of Remembrance. One Cup, that's all, not three or four or five at all. For unity is what Jesus is calling for, this scripture tells exactly what Jesus is saying in these last days. In Ephesians 2:15 it is written, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace." (15) I am also to write this scripture after he gave me 333. Holy Spirit led me to John 3:33, it is written, He that hath received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true. (33) May God Bless you And Keep You A.Catherine Rush

"That Fiend in Hell"
"That Fiend in Hell"
As the Klondike gold rush peaked in spring 1898, adventurers and gamblers rubbed shoulders with town-builders and gold-panners in Skagway, Alaska. The flow of riches lured confidence men, too—among them Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith (1860–98), who with an entourage of “bunco-men” conned and robbed the stampeders. Soapy, though, a common enough criminal, would go down in legend as the Robin Hood of Alaska, the “uncrowned king of Skagway,” remembered for his charm and generosity, even for calming a lynch mob. When the Fourth of July was celebrated in ’98, he supposedly led the parade. Then, a few days later, he was dead, killed in a shootout over a card game. With Smith’s death, Skagway rid itself of crime forever. Or at least, so the story goes. Journalists immediately cast him as a martyr whose death redeemed a violent town. In fact, he was just a petty criminal and card shark, as Catherine Holder Spude proves definitively in “That Fiend in Hell”: Soapy Smith in Legend, a tour de force of historical debunking that documents Smith’s elevation to western hero. In sorting out the facts about this man and his death from fiction, Spude concludes that the actual Soapy was not the legendary “boss of Skagway,” nor was he killed by Frank Reid, as early historians supposed. She shows that even eyewitnesses who knew the truth later changed their stories to fit the myth. But why? Tracking down some hundred retellings of the Soapy Smith story, Spude traces the efforts of Skagway’s boosters to reinforce a morality tale at the expense of a complex story of town-building and government formation. The idea that Smith’s death had made a lawless town safe served Skagway’s economic interests. Spude’s engaging deconstruction of Soapy’s story models deep research and skepticism crucial to understanding the history of the American frontier.
