Now in a fully revised, updated and expanded second edition, Introduction To Athletic Training by Susan Kay Hillman is accompanied by a CD-Rom that will operate on either a Windows or a Macintosh platform. Introduction To Athletic Training presents both theoretical and practical information on the duties of an athletic trainer, including caring for injured and ill athletes. The chapter on pharmacology will deepen the reader's understanding of the effects on common drugs used in athletics. The chapter on epidemiology will prove invaluable in evaluating injury trends and reducing the risk of future injuries. Each individual chapter includes critical thinking questions, helpful scenarios, internet resources, chapter summaries, and more. Introduction To Athletic Training should be required reading for anyone who aspires to a career as an athletic trainer, or who is currently engaged in the training of athletes either as a profession or as a volunteer in amateur sports programs and events.

My OT class just got into our splinting (for stroke and TBI rehab) unit, and this is our text. I made my first resting hand splint last Friday, using the detailed instructions from Coppard's book. All I can say is, "wow."

This was truly a great resource. Not only does Coppard explain the theories behind splinting, but she also gives detailed instructions for creating patterns and splints themselves. Everything is top-notch for a student who is worrying his or her hair grey over positioning and pressure-distribution.

The book also includes forms for assessing your own splints, covering all the necessary elements and common mistakes made by beginning splint-makers. There are short quizes at the end of each chapter, which are useful, and loads of good pictures.

As a student, I highly recommend this guide.

This book was written by Helene Lohman and me based on our experiences in teaching splinting theory and skills to occupational therapy students . The book contains 12 chapters. Chapters are easy to read and include quizzes, laboratory exercises and case studies. A splint supply kit for laboratory exercises is available for purchase through Smith & Nephew, Inc. The corresponds to laboratory exercises in the chapters. Photos and illustrations are present in each chapter. A new edition of the book is on its way!

I was always mystified why my body would refuse to work properly after running 20 miles. At first I thought that I was not made for Marathon running. Then I read 'Keep on Running' and it all became clear. Without this book, I would have given up Marathon running. But now I know how to manipulate my metabolism correctly in order to be a well conditioned endurance runner, I no longer fear anything over 20 miles.

A must have children's book for any parent who has tried to remove a splinter! We borrowed it from the library and needed it for the permanent collection.

This book explains knee injuries and problems in language a non-medical person can easily understand. The illustrations, though hand-drawn and a bit crude, are easy to follow and are very informative. I liked the explanations of alternatives in treatment and why one method is used over another. I recommend this book to anyone who has a knee injury or has arthritis in the knee.

Phenomenal- the mastery of so many spheres of knowledge are rarely displayed with such masterful erudition and breathtaking display of wonders that the world has not seen since the days of Dickens, Chaucer, et. al.

I also thought that the graphical displays within the book were incredible, but there were no pictures of women in unclothed state and only limited information on restricted substances.
