This text provides nurses and healthcare providers caring for neurologic patients with the in-depth knowledge of neurophysiology, neuroassessment, and neuromanagement needed to ensure that care is delivered in accordance with best practices. Focusing on the importance of an interdidisciplinary health care team, each neurologic condition or disorder is discussed in a comprehensive, logical format. The text emphasizes the all-important role of the neuroscience nurse and the critical aspects of the core knowledge required to function effectively in multiple clinical settings. The second edition includes a new chapter on critical care management. For each disorder, content has been added or expanded to cover Geriatric Considerations, Case Management, Patient/Family Teaching, Rehabilitation, Nutritional Considerations and Psychosocial Aspects of care.

I have found just the work for me, for I love it more all the time. Thus wrote one of several hundred professionally trained women who carried the gospel of books and libraries throughout the West during the early twentieth century. Pioneers in a profession, they regarded the West as a fertile field for their cultural crusade which included establishing traveling libraries in rural areas, participating in community-building activities, and professionalizing existing public and academic libraries and as a place where they could develop as independent women. Passet uses extensive archival material to provide a picture of the women librarians' experiences. She explores their education, family relationships, degree of autonomy, and reactions to the West. Her account is enlivened throughout by the words of the women themselves. It is further enriched by brief biographies of four women exemplifying the combination of personal and professional goals that motivated many women librarians to move west.

Thirty-eight illustrated essays explore the history of Helena, Montana, and the surrounding area in this second collection of the popular Independent Record weekly newspaper column. The nine historians present stories of people, places, and events, and raise questions dating from the beginning of Helena--where was that first gold strike really located? And what happened to the underground ''river of gold''?--to the devastating 1935 earthquakes that reshaped the city's appearance. Readers will meet a little girl's wistful ghost, a gang of Depression-era bank robbers, and their murdered gun moll. Here are the stories of the beginnings of Canyon Ferry, East Helena, Unionville, and Rimini. Longtime residents, newcomers, and visitors will find treasures throughout this anthology.
