Book Description
As the aging population continues to increase, so does the need for a text specific to the specialized care of the elderly patient as it applies to the physical therapist assistant student, faculty, and clinician. Geriatric Rehabilitation: A Textbook for the Physical Therapist Assistant, recognizes the growing role of the PTA in a variety of heath care settings from acute to home to long-term care settings, to name a few. Inside Geriatric Rehabilitation, Dr. Jennifer Bottomley, along with her contributors, focuses on the clinically relevant assessment, treatment, and management of the geriatric population. Pathological manifestations commonly seen in the elderly patient are addressed from a systems perspective, as well as a focus on what is seen clinically and how it affects function. Each pathological area covered includes: • Screening, assessment, and evaluation • Treatment prescription • Goal setting • Modification of treatment • Anticipated outcomes • Psychosocial, pharmacological, and nutritional elements The organization and presentation of the practical, hands-on components of interventions, assessments, and decision-making skills make this a go-to text for the PTA to administer comprehensive geriatric care at each point along the continuum of care. Some of the features inside include:• Emphasis on treatment interventions–techniques, tips, and options • Focus on how assessment tools and treatments are applied and modified to benefit the geriatric population, and what the expected outcomes are • Clear and outlined chapter objectives • User-friendly summary tables in the nutritional and pharmacology chapters • Pearls that highlight important chapter information • Appendices and study aids Geriatric Rehabilitation: A Textbook for the Physical Therapist Assistant answers the call for a text that focuses on the management of geriatric patients across the spectrum of care for the PTA, from students to those practicing in geriatric populations.

Pliny the Elder and the Matter of Memory

Book Description
"The Roman official and intellectual Pliny the Elder's Natural History constitutes our primary source on the figural arts in Classical antiquity. Since the Middle Ages, Pliny's encyclopaedia has enraptured the imaginations of its readers with anecdotes and narratives about the lives and accomplishments of the great artists of the Greek past. This book explores the ways in which materials and artistic processes are constructed in Natural History. In doing so, this work reflects current developments in the study of Graeco-Roman art, where the scientific analysis of sculptural stones, pigments, and metal alloys, as well as a more detailed understanding of technologies and workshop practices, has imposed radical changes in the methods and theoretical models used to approach ancient artefacts. The argument considers the role of materials in discourses on Nature, as well as their semantics and the language used to account for artistic creation. Discussion of artistic techniques addresses the discovery of resources and technologies, and the discursive implications of creation and viewing. By focusing on particular passages and exemplary case studies, this book explores the ideological, moral, and intellectual preoccupations that guide Pliny's construction of materialities and human ingenuity in a period characterised by a rapidly-evolving economic landscape. The material and performative aspects of artistic, manual creation provided this early encyclopaedist with the fundaments for constructing and explaining his view of Rome's imperial mission and, more specifically, of his own strategies as a collector and recorder of 'all' the memorable facts of Nature. This book will be of significant interest to scholars of classical archaeology, Greek and Latin literature, social and economic history, and reception studies. Anna Anguissola teaches Classical Archaeology at the University of Pisa, Italy. Her research focuses on urban development, the relationship between Greek and Roman art, the history and techniques of ancient sculpture, and the Greek and Latin literary sources on the figural arts. She coordinates the University of Pisa's field research at Pompeii and at Hierapolis in Phrygia"--
