Introducing the New Standard in Research Indexes Over the years, CRC Handbooks have gained a reputation for providing valuable, up-to-date scientific data covering a broad range of topics from many different fields. In 1971, CRC Press published the first Composite Index for CRC Handbooks so that Handbook users could quickly find information in the Handbooks without spending hours searching through library stacks. A second edition of the Composite Index was published in 1977. Now, CRC Press is proud to announce the Composite Index for CRC Handbooks, 3rd Edition, which covers most Handbooks published since 1977, in addition to many of the earlier Handbooks. We've taken great care to ensure the accuracy of the new three-volume, 3000 page Index, while at the same time utilizing new technology that enables the entire Index to be stored and accessed on a CD-ROM included with the hardbound volumes. We've also added a new FAX Delivery Service to provide pages from CRC Handbooks that may not be available from the library. Annual supplements on a subscription basis will ensure that the Composite Index is kept current as new Handbooks are published. The Composite Index for CRC Handbooks, 3rd Edition truly sets a new standard for research indexes. 3 Volumes-3,000 Pages The Composite Index for CRC Handbooks, 3rd Edition, is a merged, unified three-volume index for over 300 CRC Handbook volumes. Now, you can consult a single index containing 600,000 entries to locate information from the over 140,000 pages of scientific information provided by CRC Handbooks. CRC Handbooks include topics from the fields of biomedical sciences, biology, chemistry, engineering, computer science, physics, and mathematics. By including subjects, compounds, and names of organisms, the Composite Index helps you locate information within these topics quickly, saving you valuable research time. Each index entry identifies the specific CRC Handbook volume and page range containing the information you seek. Never before has such a comprehensive and useful reference resource been offered to the scientific community. CD-ROM When you purchase the Composite Index, you get more than just the hardcover volumes. The entire Composite Index has been transferred to a CD-ROM disk that is included with the printed index volumes at no additional charge. A printed instruction manual and quick reference card for using the program are also included. The CD-ROM gives you the freedom to consult the index electronically, as well as by looking through the volume pages themselves. The CD-ROM's retrieval program offers superior search capabilities that make finding information in the Composite Index faster, easier, and more efficient than you ever thought possible. The retrieval program allows you to locate entries in the Composite Index using word searches, which can be initiated by scrolling through a list of words and selecting the word to be located. Searches can be saved and later restored, or you can combine them with other searches to create new queries. Other features include browsing, electronic bookmarks, output capability to printers and files, customization options, and on-line help. Simple prompts and menus put you only a few keystrokes away from the wealth of scientific information provided by the Composite Index. The CD-ROM is designed to operate on IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2, or 100% IBM-compatible computers. FAX Delivery Service Need a few pages from a CRC Handbook fast? CRC Press's FAX Delivery Service puts Handbook information in your hands within 24 hours. Scheduled to begin March 1, 1991, this unique service provides libraries with access to every CRC Handbook-over 140,000 pages of scientific information-without purchasing all of the Handbooks. Your first year's subscription to the service is included when you purchase the Index. The cost per FAX request is $5.00 for the first two pages and $1.50 for every page thereafter to cover handling and telecommunication expenses (additional telecommunication charges will apply for users outside of the continental U.S.). For example, if seven pages are requested in an order, your total charge for the order would be $12.50 ($5.00 for the first two pages and $7.50 for the additional five pages). Annual Supplement To keep pace with the rate of scientific development, CRC Press publishes many new Handbooks each year. As a result, we will offer annual supplements on a subscription basis to update the Composite Index. The annual supplement will consist of a 200-300 page hardbound volume, a CD-ROM disk containing the entire updated Composite Index, as well as a license renewal for the FAX Delivery Service. For your convenience, CRC Press will enter your subscription to future supplements and send annual announcements approximately two months before publication. The supplement package will be shipped upon publication unless you complete the cancellation notice attached to the announcement and return it to CRC Press within the time indicated (approximately 20 days after you receive the announcement). You may cancel your subscription at any time.

Our World Belongs to God: A Contemporary Testimony

Faith Alive

This workbook is designed as both a reference for in-depth clinical information as well as a hands-on tool for addressing the many challenges of living with a brain injury. As survivors, families and caregivers achieve new goals, encounter setbacks, and meet new challenges, this workbook provides information, strategies, tools, and checklists that will guide the reader through the next phase of recovery. Twelve chapters discuss critical issues that most survivors, families and caregivers deal with at some stage in recovery after a brain injury. The workbook starts with helping readers understand what happens when the brain is injured and describes the complex medical issues involved for survival. As all families know, medical treatment comes at a cost, and there are many more hidden costs for families. A chapter on financial and health care concerns tackles the often confusing array of disability benefits, financial support, and health insurance. As survivors leave the hospital or rehabilitation setting, the chapter on neuropsychological assessment helps prepare them for returning home and reentering their community. Next is a chapter on the use of medications for the behavioral and emotional changes that often accompany a brain injury, with worksheets to help manage medications and to discuss treatment with your physician. The next chapters address the changes in behaviors that are so often stressful, confusing and difficult to manage at home. Closely linked to this topic is a chapter on the emotional challenges, including depression and anxiety, that can affect both survivors and caregivers. Next is a chapter on employment strategies and resources for survivors who are seeking a first time job or are considering returning to work. Closely linked to this is the next chapter on managing cognitive changes and fatigue in order to lead a more productive and fulfilling life. For those readers with a child who has been injured, there is a special chapter on returning to school after brain injury that focuses on the critical transition to adult life. The risks of alcohol and other drug use after brain injury are frankly discussed, as substances are too often used in attempts to fight depression, isolation, and other losses. The chapter on veterans discusses not only the consequences of blast injuries and brain trauma but also post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) as service members return home. Because so many survivors have found themselves socially isolated as time passes since their injury, the final chapter focuses on re-connecting with relationships and community activities. As you can see from this list, the authors have addressed a wide range of topics and issues that survivors, families and caregivers have said are critical for their recovery.
