Book excerpt: 'How can we talk to our children about Brain Injury?' This is a regularly asked question by parents who have suffered a brain injury and their respective partners. This book has been designed so that children between five and eight can read it independently. However, ideal if should be used with an adult to facilitieate discussion about all aspects of family life and to enhance general emotional wellbeing. This book deliberately makes brain injury one of many things going on for this small group of children because for most children it is only one of many issues in their family life. This story is intended to emphasize that all families are different, with their own strengths and weaknesses and different experiences. Brain injury is another experience that some people encounter and others do not. 'My Dad Makes the Best Boats' should prove to be a great reassurance and comfort for children coping with a parent's brain injury. The book presents situations in which brain injured people can be angry, forgetful or unreasonable and shows that it is not the fault of either parent or child and children should not blame themselves. It also demonstrates the positive aspects of life with a brain injured parent and the enjoyable times that can be spent together'.

We are sure that this will continue to be the case, especially with the inclusion of new activity pages; Professor Michael Oddy, Director of Clinical Services Brain Injury Rehabilitiation Trust.

Book Synopsis Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury by : David Todd
Download or read book Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury written by David Todd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together narrative approaches and brain injury rehabilitation, in a manner that fosters an understanding of the natural fit between the two. We live our lives by narratives and stories, and brain injury can affect those narratives at many levels, with far-reaching effects. Understanding held narratives is as important as understanding the functional profile of the injury. This book explores ways to create a space for personal stories to emerge and change, whilst balancing theory with practical application. Despite the emphasis of this book on the compatibility of narrative approaches to supporting people following brain injury, it also illustrates the potential for contributing to significant change in the current narratives of brain injury. This book takes a philosophically different approach to many current neuro-rehabilitation topics, and has the potential to make a big impact. It also challenges the reader to question their own position, but does so in an engaging manner which makes it difficult to put down.

Book Synopsis Swift Boats at War in Vietnam by : Guy Gugliotta
Download or read book Swift Boats at War in Vietnam written by Guy Gugliotta and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You-are-there stories of ambushes and patrols on the Mekong in the Vietnam War Developed specifically for the Vietnam War (and made famous by the 2004 presidential campaign), Swift Boats were versatile craft “big enough to outrun anything they couldn’t outfight” but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This made more difficult an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines. The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats’ early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam’s coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats’ mission shifted to the Mekong Delta’s labyrinth of 3,000 miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam.

Book Synopsis Giving the Finger by : Scott M. Campbell
Download or read book Giving the Finger written by Scott M. Campbell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part documentary, part reality-television, the story of the Deadliest Catch’s Alaskan crab fishermen risking their lives in the Bering Sea to make a buck and feed their families has captivated the world. Giving the Finger follows the life of the spirited young captain who has emerged as one of the most talked-about figures on the show, Scott Campbell Jr., who leads the crew of the Seabrooke. As this book--a prequel to Junior’s ascent to fame--shows, the trials of crabbing are not limited to living at sea and working the most dangerous job on the planet, but carry over to family and friends, and are usually stormier than the Bering. Junior began his life as a fisherman in the shadow of his father, Scott Campbell Sr., and has struggled consistently to gain his own reputation as a captain. Arguably, one of the best fishermen working the waters today, Campbell Jr. has certainly done that, but not without sacrifice, of all sorts. Campbell has divorced and re-married the same woman three times, endured handicapping injuries and lost crew members to the icy waters of the north. Giving the Finger gives a first person account of these losses and the everyday fight for life and love, and shows that by hard work and perseverance, even a kid from Walla Walla, Washington, can become a star.

Book excerpt: Have you ever had your entire world fall apart within five short years? Do your relatives often find themselves saying, “If only we could turn the clock back, just for a day” at your family functions? Welcome to my life. Until I turned seventeen, my life was pretty average. Well, maybe above average. My family went on two lavish vacations a year; we lived in a nice home, and we had a large family whom we saw at least once a week, if not more. I was looking forward to graduating and leaving behind the hellhole otherwise known as high school and while it was the last year of everything I had ever known, I was eagerly gearing up for the chance to see what awaited me at a place where everything was fresh and unfamiliar. But all that changed on one cold November evening. In a matter of seconds, my life would never be the same, and years later my family would whisper in hushed tones, “Why? How did this happen to us?” And to think that it all started with a phone call.
