Wendy Green explains how dietary, psychological, and environmental factors can cause migraines, and offers practical advice and a holistic approach to help you manage them, including simple lifestyle and dietary changes and DIY natural therapies.

Critic Reviews:

This book is a revelation - full of facts I didnt know about migraines... If only Id known that feeling irritable can begin 24 hours before an attack... I also never knew you should eat if a migraine is coming on because low blood sugar could also be a trigger. Since reading this book Ive made an effort to eat breakfast, regardless of how busy I am, and Ive definitely had fewer migraines. There are many ideas in this book... who knows, I might even find a cure! (Philippa Forrester, TV presenter and migraine sufferer)

Members Reviews:

Title: The Concussion Crisis

Subtitle: Anatomy of a Silent Epidemic

Author: Linda Carroll, David Rosner

Narrator: Pam Ward

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-20-11

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

For far too long, the menace of concussions has been hidden in plain sight. On playing fields across America, lives are being derailed by seemingly innocuous jolts to the head. From the peewees to the pros, concussions are reaching epidemic proportions. This book brings that hidden epidemic and its consequences out of the shadows. As frightening as the numbers are---estimates of sports-related concussions range from 1.6 million to 3.8 million annually in the United States---they can't begin to explain the profound impact of a hidden health problem that can strike any of us. It is becoming increasingly clear that concussions, like severe head traumas, can rob us of our memory, our mental abilities, our very sense of self. Because the damage caused by a concussion is rarely visible to the naked eye or even on a brain scan, no one knows how many millions might be living lives devastated by an invisible injury too often shrugged off as "just a bump on the head." This book puts a human face on a huge public health crisis. Through narratives that chronicle the poignant experiences of real people struggling with this invisible and often unrecognized brain injury, Linda Carroll and David Rosner bring home its potentially devastating consequences. Among those you will meet are a high school football player whose college dreams were derailed by a series of undiagnosed concussions, a hard-driving soccer star whose own struggles with concussions pushed her to crusade for safety reform as a coach and soccer mom, and an economist who lost her career because of lingering concussion symptoms from a fender bender. The Concussion Crisis weaves these human dramas with compelling stories of scientists and doctors who are unraveling the mysteries of how an invisible injury can wreak such havoc.

Critic Reviews:

"This noteworthy book issues a challenge to the "macho play-through-the pain" sports culture and urges a rethinking of safety versus spectacle." (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Not what I expected

This book starts out informative, explaining what happens in the brain with a concussion. Then, too much attention to the history of boxing. I haven't finished the entire book yet, but unless it takes a turn for the better I wouldnt recommend it. I want up to date info, not what multiple hits to the head in boxing did to Joe Frazier, etc.

Title: Nerve Mobilization of the Upper Extremity

Subtitle: A Review of Current Research

Author: Caroline Joy Co

Narrator: Brian d'Eon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-22-11

Publisher: Rehabsurge, Inc.

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Injuries to the peripheral nervous system often result in significant deterioration of the regular activities. Many of the peripheral nerve injuries in the upper extremity are commonly associated with altered shoulder postures and functional imbalance in the arm, forearm, and hand. It is essential to know about the basics of the nervous system - the neuropathology, the transmission of pain and movement dysfunction - before initiating nerve mobilization procedure.

Members Reviews:

nice and easy

i purchased this on a whim while looking for some other professional resources. I'm an occupational therapist always looking to upgrade my clinical skills. I've purchased many books that didn't deliver, but this one is a quick read, has good pics and protocols, and is a welcome addition to my clinic library.

Not what I expected

I thought there would be more exercises in this book. Smaller than expected and not a whole lot of new information.

Concise

This book is small but it packs a great deal of information for nerve mobilization. I mainly purchased this book to get continuing education units in New York for physical therapy. I liked that I earn credits and have new exercises that I can use in the clinical setting.

Excellent Book!!!

Great techniques! I have not learned all these new techniques in school. I have used them in the clinic and get great results with my patients.

Good Exercises

A lot of the patients we meet at our facilities have some type of nerve problem. Most of the time, the prescription will read as carpal tunnel syndrome, eventhough it is not. This book helps you uncover different nerve problems encountered in the clinical setting. It also shows you very specific nerve exercises such as nerve gliding, nerve tensioning. It is a very good read. The price is also very reasonable.

Title: Advances in Stroke Interventions

Subtitle: A Review of Current Research

Author: Caroline Joy Yumul Co

Narrator: Brian d'Eon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-22-11

Publisher: Rehabsurge, Inc.

Ratings: 1.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Approximately 730,000 first-ever strokes occur in the United States each year. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and in most Western countries. However, approximately 80-90% of patients survive their stroke, often with substantial motor dysfunction that compromises their ability to perform valued activities. Stroke is the most frequent cause of permanent disability in adults worldwide. Average survival following stroke is eight years in the United States. This calculates to a stroke survivor prevalence of 5.7 million persons.

A recent review of randomized controlled trials in treatment alternatives (in over 1,000 stroke patients), indicates that rehabilitation provides improvement in function, when compared to no treatment or control. Yet, superiority of one type of therapy over another could not be distinguished, and therefore the specific choice of therapy was difficult to justify over another type of treatment. Consequently, there are reservations in the medical community concerning the benefit of various types of therapy. So, although we have progressed from do nothing to do something is the solution to do anything?

Despite evidence suggesting that therapy may be useful in brain restoration and in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke, there is little information available describing the precise nature of interventions provided by therapists. Little evidence determines which patients with stroke should receive motor therapy, what elements those therapies should contain, or when they should be implemented. In addition, results are limited, and functional gains after stroke are often minimal. Thus, identifying interventions that can improve motor function remains a priority. This book will provide an overview of the current understanding of modern rehabilitation therapies and the effects on plasticity and recovery of motor function in stroke.

Title: Proprioceptive Training

Subtitle: A Review of Current Research

Author: Caroline Joy Yumul Co

Narrator: Brian d'Eon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-22-11

Publisher: Rehabsurge, Inc.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Proprioceptive training is integral to nearly all daily life functions. An injury, whether due to repetitive stress, disease or soft tissue damage, affects proprioception. Proprioception affects work, sports, and household and leisure activities, so it is paramount to have a thorough knowledge of the current research on proprioceptive training. Such a framework lends itself to designing treatment plans that increase patient lifestyle satisfaction while improving clinical outcomes.

This course will cover the fundamental principles of proprioception. The book will present the architectural framework of proprioception as the basis for treatment interventions designed to improve function. Improving patient outcomes will be facilitated through increasing your knowledge of the different treatment techniques to improve proprioception. Several effective strategies will be examined for the young, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis patients, Parkinsons patients, Alzheimers patients, and many more.

Members Reviews:

Great review of research

I bought this book because the company is an approved continuing education provider. I actually wished that this company branches out and creates youtube videos of the exercises described in the research articles. For example, I want to see how they do the box jump and hold. Nice book.

Three Stars

Good survey of the scientific literature for trainers, but not useful for those seeking good exercises to do.

Valuable Resource

This book was a valuable resource to me as a professional strength and conditioning specialist. The information on the stages of proprioception and how they affect childhood or adulthood was especially helpful when creating training programs for my clients. Also, it was good to have a resource that affirms how proprioceptive training is essential in everything from leisure activities to competitive sports. The chapter on neuromuscular impairments reporting on results from sound research was very informative. I continue to keep this book as part of my 'tool box', and to ensure I continuing to consider all the options with regards to Proprioceptive Training.

Great Ideas

This is the only book I found dedicated to proprioceptive training. For patients with ankle and knee problems, proprioceptive training is a must. This book provides you with a lot of ideas on how to create a proprioceptive training regimen for your patient. I love the ball exercises, the mat exercises, step training, foam exercises. It has different techniques like the BOSU ball, the balance board. I think this book is a great addition to any clinic with active population.

A wealth of information

A wealth of information on proprioceptive exercises. It has detailed exercises and progression. I love to challenge my patients to improve their balance and proprioception. This book is a very good reference. This is also available in Kindle. I recommend using your Amazon Prime and you can read the book for free for a month. I also purchased the online exam on their site as listed in the book. I got 3 continuing education hours for 10 dollars. You can't beat that.

Title: 13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries

Author: Michael Brooks

Narrator: Matt Addis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-11-11

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 86 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today, there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the 16th century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse.

In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense, Michael Brooks meets 13 modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs.

Is 96%of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

Members Reviews:

Too much non-science for my taste.

I found myself rolling my eyes, quite a few times while listening to this. While talk of homeopathic succussion might be slightly interesting for a couple minutes, the author streched it out till it hurt. And he has an interesting take on cold fussion, but hardly a convincing story that anything about it was real. I found myself wanting to scream that scientists need to be held accountable for thier claims. If cold fusion appeared to happen, but could not be reliably reproduced, then that is what needs to be reported.

If the title of this book appeals to you, I'd recommend you check out "Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You" or "Death by Black Hole".

If you want science dont bother

What would have made 13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries better?

Unfortunately the author does not seem to understand the "Scientific Method"

What do you think your next listen will be?

David Deutsch "The beginning of infinity"

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

The concept of the book is fine. Unfortunately it seems to have been written by someone without any science education. It rambles along with vagaries and then degenerates into an advertising promotion for Homeopathy

A good listen

I very much enjoyed this book. It provides an insightful review of some very intriguing subject matter and then poses relevant questions to make the listener ponder the discussed mysteries. While I was already aware of most of the topics discussed, the book provided much background detail of which I was previously unaware.

Editorial Reviews:

iMinds is a company that produces brief audio introductions to subjects of historical and/or scientific interest. Usually spoken over soft, pulsating music reminiscent of science fiction films, their introductions are like mini-encyclopedia entries meant to awaken a listeners interest in a given field. Ellouise Rothwell narrates this audiobook in a pleasing, suspense-inducing Australian accent.

In this instalment, listeners are taken into the history and science of in vitro fertilization, perhaps the single most important technological development in human procreation. While the first report of successful in vitro fertilization happened in the 19th century, widespread use of the practice was not common until the 1920s. Its bumpy history includes denunciations from the pope, but many thousands of couples would not have been able to conceive without it.

An acclaimed science writer takes readers behind the scenes at the Centers for Disease Control to tell the story of an engrossing odyssey across the viral frontier.

©1998 Ed Regis (P)2010 Random House

Members Reviews:

overlong essay

Mr. Regis clearly has a perspective -- that virus are not as much a threat to public safety as the media has hyped them to be, and that the CDC is a overblown bureaucracy. Great, but it's not a book -- it's an essay. There is no interesting scientific information on Viruses -- it feels like a compilation of unedited notes left over from magazine articles. The reader does terrible 'accent voices' for the quotes -- this is annoying.
