BOOK
Orphans Preferred: The Twisted Truth and Lasting Legend of the Pony Express
Christopher Corbett
$9.63

About this product:

“WANTED. YOUNG, SKINNY, WIRY FELLOWS. NOT OVER 18. MUST BE EXPERT RIDERS. WILLING TO RISK DEATH DAILY. ORPHANS PREFERRED.”
—California newspaper help-wanted ad, 1860

The Pony Express is one of the most celebrated and enduring chapters in the history of the United States, a story of the all-American traits of bravery, bravado, and entrepreneurial risk that are part of the very fabric of the Old West. No image of the American West in the mid-1800s is more familiar, more beloved, and more powerful than that of the lone rider galloping the mail across hostile Indian territory. No image is more revered. And none is less understood. Orphans Preferred is both a revisionist history of this magnificent and ill-fated adventure and an entertaining look at the often larger-than-life individuals who created and perpetuated the myth of “the Pony,” as it is known along the Pony Express trail that runs from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. The Pony Express is a story that exists in the annals of Americana where fact and fable collide, a story as heroic as the journey of Lewis and Clark, as complex and revealing as the legacy of Custer’s Last Stand, and as muddled and freighted with yarns as Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Orphans Preferred is a fresh and exuberant reexamination of this great American story.

BOOK
Preferred Lies: A Journey into the Heart of Scottish Golf
Andrew Greig
$4.79

About this product:

Andrew Greig, poet, novelist, and lapsed golfer, came within moments of death before his surgeon performed a last-ditch operation and saved his life. Inspired to pick up his clubs again after a thirty-five-year on-and-off again hiatus from the game, Greig traveled eighteen courses on his road to recovery---from the northernmost tip of the Orkney Islands to the celebrated fairways of St. Andrews. It was, more than anything, a journey toward reconnection with being alive.

Greig’s book tells one man’s story of connection to an ancient game, and the story of a father’s relationship with his son and the rite of passage into manhood. It is a book of reflections, not only on the pleasures of the game but also on friendship, family, and ghosts from the past.

“A masterful meditation on golf and healing.”---Steven Pressfield, author of The Legend of Bagger Vance

“Andrew Greig takes familiar turf and turns it into something keen and wry and profound, like the Scottish links he loves so well. Required reading for any lover of the game the way it was meant to be played.”---Steven Pressfield, author of The Legend of Bagger Vance

“What golfer won’t go to the links of Scotland to play a few rounds after a close call with death? Andrew Greig’s Preferred Lies makes his return to the courses of his youth charming, funny, and profound, as he plays the courses of Scotland, one shot at a time, back to good health. A wonderful book about how golf is one sure way to heal the body and the heart. “---John Coyne, author of The Caddie Who Knew Ben Hogan

“Andrew Greig’s mindfulness invokes a bounty of verities: That play is the best medicine for a heart aching with poetry and a mind chattering with anxieties. That peace cannot be found in the pounding polarity waves of hope-disappointment or joy-sadness. That while we may not be able to change what we see, we can choose how we see it. That real freedom, the most feared option of all, is always present, ours for the taking when we are done with searching everywhere else and decide to operate as our own sacred selves. To the worldly mind, seeing ourselves as gods-in-embryo is heresy, a lie. With a hearty salute to Andrew, it is exactly the lie I prefer and recommend, along with this book, to all.”---Printer Bowler, author of The Cosmic Laws of Golf

“Poignant, wise, and funny, as well as exquisitely written; a book about loss, exultation, pain, and---ultimately---healing.”---Iain Banks, author of The Algebraist

“A wonderful and wise book.”---The Irish Times

“Greig’s purely struck prose is not the only strength of this book . . . he has excellent taste in golf courses. A beautifully written memoir.”---The Guardian (UK)

“Poet and novelist Greig breaks the mold. Greig helps us remember our own perfectly struck golf shots, but he keeps his distance, recognizing the intimacy of the moment.”

---Booklist (starred)

“Gentle lyricism and distinctly Scottish outlook make this round a unique pleasure. An accomplished poet, [Greig] lends lyrical depth to blades of grass and existential musings alike and manages to cast new light on a lot of life’s oldest questions. Greig approaches each life lesson with inspiring passion and humility.”---Publishers Weekly

$40.00

About this product:

Musculoskeletal Essentials: Applying the Preferred Physical Therapist Practice PatternsSM answers the call to what today’s physical therapy students and clinicians are looking for when integrating the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice as it relates to the musculoskeletal system in clinical care.

As a part of Essentials in Physical Therapy led by Series Editor Dr. Marilyn Moffat, Musculoskeletal Essentials: Applying the Preferred Physical Therapist Practice PatternsSM is edited by Dr. Elaine Rosen and Dr. Sandra Rusnak-Smith in a user-friendly format that not only brings together the conceptual frameworks of the Guide language, but also parallels the patterns of the Guide.

In each case, where appropriate, a brief review of the pertinent anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, imaging, and pharmacology is provided. Each pattern then details two to five diversified case studies coinciding with the Guide format. The physical therapist examination, including history, systems review, and specific tests and measures for each case, as well as evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care, and evidence-based interventions are also addressed.

Sample Cases in Some of the Practice Patterns Include:
-Primary Prevention/Risk Reduction for Skeletal Demineralization: A post-menopausal female, previous smoker and non exerciser; a patient with osteopenia due to prolonged glucocorticoid steroid use; a marathon runner with osteopenia of the femoral necks
-Impaired Posture: A patient with impaired posture and radicular symptoms; a patient with excessive foot pronation causing pain up the chain, a patient with Scheuermann’s Disease
-Impaired Joint Mobility, Motor Function, Muscle Performance, and Range of Motion Associated with Connective Tissue Dysfunction: A patient with complex regional pain syndrome of the foot/ankle; a patient with temporomandibular joint dysfunction; a patient with fibromyalgia syndrome
-Impaired Joint Mobility, Motor Function, Muscle Performance, and Range of Motion Associated with Joint Arthroplasty: A patient with a hybrid total hip arthroplasty; a patient with bilateral total knee arthroplasties; a patient with a total shoulder arthroplasty; a patient with rheumatoid arthritis post MCP joint implant arthroplasties and arthrodesis of the PIP joints; a patient post ligament reconstruction tendon interpositional arthroplasty
-Impaired Joint Mobility, Motor Function, Muscle Performance, and Range of Motion Associated with Bony or Soft Tissue Surgery: A patient with dementia and a femur fracture; a patient 6 weeks post tibia and fibula fracture; a patient with a rotator cuff repair; a patient one week post ACL reconstruction

At long last, Dr. Marilyn Moffat, Dr. Elaine Rosen, and Dr. Sandra Rusnak-Smith have created a book that will integrate the parameters of the Guide as it relates to the musculoskeletal system, into the practice arena, that not only covers the material but also allows for a problem-solving approach to learning for educators and students.

A Preferred Blur: Reflections, Inspections, and Travel in All Directions
Henry Rollins
$10.07

About this product:

2007 was a very busy year for Henry Rollins. He traveled to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Pakistan, where he was staying when Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. While traveling, Rollins performed numerous spoken word shows and worked on films, his IFC television show, and Harmony in My Head, his popular weekly radio show.

A Preferred Blur contains stories written in the form of journal entries from Rollins’ travels throughout the year. As in his other travel-related books and journals, Rollins — Detail magazine’s 1994 Man of the Year — writes not only about his own life and work, but of music, current affairs, and the world around him with humor, insight, and brutal honesty.
