Geriatrics & Gerontology of the Dog and Cat

Book Description

This groundbreaking reference is the first and only comprehensive book to address the needs of older dogs and cats, providing the veterinary clinician, veterinary student, and animal health technician with health-related information that is clinically relevant and quickly retrievable in a simple format. It offers a complete and practical review of the causes, incidence, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of both common and uncommon problems associated with the aging process and acquired illness. Each chapter offers tips on the physical examination of that body system and provides quick-reference tables for guidance on diagnosis and treatment. Because of the increased health problems in aging dogs and cats and the ardent attachment of the pet owner, veterinarians need to know more about aging so they may delay or minimize the progressive deterioration of aging and improve the quality of life for geriatric dogs and cats.

An absolute must for jigs and safety.......2004-12-10

Without a doubt one of the best books on Table Saw jigs. Many of the others I looked at had USELESS projects that went along with them....just filler. This book has NO FILLER, just great tips!! I constantly reference this book whenever doing a new type of cut, to see what time saving (and safer) way I could perform the task at hand. GET IT!!!

Tablesaw: Methods of Work: The Best Advice from 25 Years fro.......2004-04-15

I recently purchased this book and read it cover to cover. I have a new 10 inch table saw, and I wanted a "primer" that would also allow me to grow in skill. This title fills the bill very well indeed. Not only does it offer a great number of helpful tips, designs, plans, and procedures, but it serves as a springboard for ideas unique to my own projects. For example, some of the jigs and fixtures featured in the book lend themselves well to modification by the home craftsman to suit individual needs. If you want a good reference guide that you'll not soon outgrow, I recommend this one. I'm certain that a year from now mine will be dog-eared from use. Jim Richey did a splendid job putting this book together. Furthermore, the book itself is sturdily constructed -- cleverly designed for the readership most likely to purchase it: woodworkers.

Moderately Skilled Woodworker (still improving).......2003-05-01

Like all four books of the "Methods of Work" series; this book covers a lot of material in a no nonsense style that has all the detail MOST people need. It is not one of those books that has a lot "pretty color photographs" but relys on providing a a lot good information as simply as possible with excellent line drawings to illustrate the points. It covers all the aspects of the proper setup of your tablesaw which is or at least should be 50% what you need to know about with any tablesaw. Safety is emphasized in every aspect of preparing and using your tablesaw. Various jigs, many aspects of joinery, and general problem solving techniques are covered by examples. The book is written as a compendium of tips, best practices, and/or lessons learned by Fine Woodworking readers. The end result, and the strength of this book, is that you get a thousand years of woodworking experience with a tablesaw edited in such a way that you have a great book on almost all the ways you would ever use a tablesaw.

The best tablesaw tips from 25 years of Fine Woodworking.......2002-01-02

Tablesaw Methods of Work provides hundreds of jigs, fixtures, setups, and methods to improve your woodworking and make using a tablesaw safer and easier. It's all from Fine Woodworking's Methods of Work column, the premier forum for woodworkers to share their best tips.

You'll learn about:

setup and maintenance
mobile bases, dollies, and movers
outfeed tables and roller supports
rip fence and miter gauge improvements
jigs and techniques for joinery
raising panels and shaping.

Great Kid's Book!.......2007-05-16

This is a great kid's book. My six year old daughter is a beginning reader and she loved the book. We grow sunflowers at home so my daughter had some first hand knowledge of the life cycle of growing sunflowers which the author presents so well in photos and text. Get the book for a child and then make a project out of growing a few sunflowers. You will have a blast.

Excellent Reading for Beginning First Grade.......2001-07-26

Gail Saunders-Smith does an excellent job of showing the cycle of growing sunflowers in photos and text. The text is simple and supported by the beautiful, detailed photos which makes it an easy read for beginning first graders. Sunflowers is a well organized information book. It would make a great addition to any child's bookshelf.

One winter morning a seed lies on the ground. "What's this?" wonders a little girl passing by. Together with an equally curious bird and a wise ginger-colored cat, she plants the seed and begins the wondrous process of growing a flower. What will it be? Every day she waters the patch of soil, and watches over the tender sprout when it emerges. And one summer day, when she runs outside, there is a giant sunflower, beaming up at the sun! The little girl continues to nurture her flower, visiting it, telling all her secrets. And when the fall day comes that the sunflower's head droops, the little girl carefully carries it to school and gives it to her teacher, who helps the class begin the cycle anew. Next summer, every child in the class has a magnificent sunflower!

Caroline Mockford's exquisite acrylic paintings fill every page with lush seasonal color and almost childlike depictions of the girl, the cat, the bird, and the flower. In the simplest and sweetest of terms, Mockford describes the natural life cycle of a flower. Following the story is a page for grownups who may want to go into greater depth with children about roots, shoots, flowers, seeds, and growing sunflowers. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

Ready, set, grow!.......2000-03-31

"What's This?" is the perfect springtime book for preschoolers interested in the newly sprouting flowers all around them. It shows the (very) basics of a seed growing into a sunflower, in a way that very young children can understand. The illustrations are vibrant and fun. This book and a packet of sunflower seeds would make a perfect gift!

"Excellent."
WILLIAM A. WHITEHEAD, Ph.D.
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
"If you're bright, working hard, pushing fast -- and feeling a debilitating ache in your gut that comes and goes -- you may be one of the more than 22 million Americans, most of them women, suffering symptoms that are NOT life-threatening and CAN be relieved."
-- from RELIEF FROM IBS
At last, here is a practical, straightforward guide that will help you gain mastery over the frustrations of IBS and simplify your life. Inside you'll find all the information you need, including: The various causes of IBS and how you can minimize their effects; how to identify harmful stresses in your life and significantly reduce their impact; how to design a diet that is both healthful AND pleasurable, and much more.

better help elsewhere.......2004-09-15

I tried for years to control IBS with diet, exercise, medications, etc. I never got anywhere with that. I recently tried an 'assist' from the 'Assist Processing Handbook' from L Ron Hubbard, and I was feeling much better within a couple of hours. If you have already ruled out food allergies (and any structural problems), and can't seem to control IBS with books such as this one, please do yourself a favor and get the assist book.

Relief from Ibs: Irritable Bowel Syndrome.......2001-03-21

It has taken the doctors a long time to diagnose me for IBS. The doctors are not much help except for medication. This book gives you details of what a person goes through and ideas on how to control it or relief it. One of the main topics is stress. Stress causes a lot of the problems with IBS. This book gives you ways to cope with the stress and what you need to watch for in foods. I share the information in this book with many people that I meet who have IBS. I bought two books. The other book does not even begin to show you how to cope with IBS. I would recommend this book to anyone with digestive problems if for no reason except ways of coping with digestive problems.

Easy reading with little substance.......2001-02-08

While this is an easy book to read, understand and even use in your quest to avoid the pain and symptoms of IBS there are several serious shortcomings. First, the author is a layman. She is not a doctor, does not treat IBS or practice any sort of health care. She is a writer. A good writer who draws from a variety of medical sources and credits them diligently, but still not a doctor or academic.

This is also a highly 'womanocentric' book. Of all the examples cited in the text I found ONE that was not a female. While woman are more likely to suffer from IBS than men in America this is still more of a 'womans book' and focuses at length on issues that do not concern the other gender at all. I will not, for instance, be experiencing any greater onset of symptoms during menstruation.

The author advocates adding fiber to the diet. This is sound advice supported by most, if not all doctors and nutritionists. While she mentions the difference between soluable and insoluable fiber she says "You needn't worry about which fiber is which..." (p.161) This couldn't be worse advice. Insoluable fiber causes many of the symptoms of IBS to worsen and is not recommended by any other sources I have found. Read other books on IBS, there are some great ones right here on Amazon, or check around the web where there are hundreds of resources for people with IBS. Nobody else recommends adding insoluable fiber to your diet, and most sources recommend eliminating it.

Finally, the bulk of the book does not concern IBS directly at all but is filled with 'holistic' approaches to all around wellness. This sounds nice but I'm not looking for a book on "Developing Coping Skills", "Exploring Biofeedback", "Learning Personal Relaxation Techniques", or "Talking to Yourself". these are all chapters in Ms. Shimberg's book. I have yet to find anyone else who links talking to myself with relief from a colon spasm.

You will find no list of potential food triggers, nor a discusion of meal planning or preparation. The author says that everyone is different so what triggers one person's symptoms is ok for another. While this may be true there are many food groups that most authorities agree are difficult to digest and should be avoided. Simply ducking the whole issue does not help me find reflief.

To summarize, this book offers no new information or research... it is by a layman. It offers a plethora of "New Age" treatments which have no proven benefits in treating IBS. And it actually has some outright bad advice in it. i.e. not worrying about which type of fiber you add to your diet.

If you are seeking an understanding of your pain and a strategy for relief, look elsewhere.

A Good Overview of an Undercovered Subject.......2000-09-09

Thank goodness that at last there are many books available about IBS (or whatever name you may have been calling your high-strung digestive system), but this one is a great one to start with. Right on the cover it lists several of the names IBS has been called over the years. It's short, which lets you then move on to books related to the specifics of your own condition, which it emphasizes again and again varies widely from person to person. I especially liked the chapter "Kids with IBS", a subject close to the hearts of any of us who have been long misunderstood (and too often blaimed) for having this disorder. We each develop our own way to cope, and how great to read the chapter "Talking to Yourself" and discover that I really wasn't crazy after all. A great book to start with, but don't stop here because the truth really will set you free (or at least help you live with it).
