Co-authored by physicians, lay experts, and a rehabilitation engineer who himself sustained a spinal cord injury, this practical guide addresses in layperson's terms the many medical, social, and psychological issues that face spinal cord-injured patients and their families. The authors describe what happens to the body after spinal cord injury, discuss the physical implications of such injuries, and explain how injured persons can minimize problems with urinary function, bowel function, skin care, pain, spasticity, and autonomic dysreflexia. Practical suggestions are offered to help patients handle difficulties with mobility, sex and intimacy, sports and recreation, and travel and transportation.

Why? Where? And When? This book tells the story of the Metro system as part of the story of the Washington region. When first conceived and built in the 1960s, Washington DC was the national capital of a great country at a time when it was at its most prosperous. There was a consistent design throughout the system in accordance with the monumentality of the national capital. Now fifty years after its original design and thirty-five years after the opening of its first stations, it is second in ridership only to the far larger New York transit system. . We follow the existing and projected Metro lines after describing their origins in the roadways and the rail systems that largely preceded them. After considering the central transfer stations as an entity, each station on a line is described. The lives of significant personages provide a focus for the history of each station as we also explore its recent development as an urban node. “Washington Metroland” makes a great contribution to our understanding of the Washington Metro System. It nicely weaves together the earlier history of its sites with their contemporary form and function. Written in an engaging and accessible style, it is a valuable addition to Washingtoniana. –Jonathan L. Gifford, Director, Program in Transportation Policy, George Mason University School of Public Policy.

Who? Where? When? and Why? These are the questions to be answered when exploring Washington DC as it was affected by the Civil War during its time and since; and how the city in turn affected the war and the history of Reconstruction. The book is divided into three major sections. The first  is the political life of the wartime "Seat of Government." All three branches evolved as a result of the trial by fire. The war, fought in the halls of Congress as well as the battlefield, continued long past Appomattox into Reconstruction. The second aspect was its role on  the  front-line as the actual "Seat of War." The third is its ongoing pre-eminent role as the national capital of  a more united country and as a "Seat of Civil War Memory." Onto the present day, the city both commemorates the war and provides the arena for its ongoing meaning in the political life of the nation. Much more than the standard guidebook, that section can be used as such by the discerning inhabitant or visitor.

Washington DC and the Civil War: The National Capital

We explore the place and the persons who gave Boston its life. Who? Where? When? and Why? are the questions to be answered either as a visitor or long time resident. In no other place in the United States is history more ever present underfoot yet encased in the antiquarian past that obscures its meaning in the evolution of the city and for the present. We explore the physical manifestations that remain of the history as well as the persons and their ideas in each era that created that history. Founded to be a refuge for a holy people, Bostonians still today retain their commitment to things of the mind and spirit. In commitment to an austere higher level of being, they have risen to achieve idealistic reforms that have led their country and even the world. Initially a uniquely homogeneous place, its native Yankees have been reluctant to open its gates to strangers and retreated into their bastions of privilege. Finally exhausted by interethnic warfare and more open to differences, there is renewal while still retaining both the idealism and the creativity that together bode well for the future.

Who? When? Where? and Why? These are the questions to be answered when exploring Philadelphia. Once colonial America's premier city, it fell from its political prominence in 1800 following the move of the federal Seat of Government to the Potomac region. Its commercial hegemony fell behind that of upstart Baltimore while by the Civil War its financial hegemony and nearly all other aspects fell behind that of New York. Reborn as the industrial capital, it had its greatest day at the time of the 1876 American Centennial. The age of steam upon which it was based has now been replaced by that of information. It takes great pride in its history for craftsmanship and innovation as it strives for renewal in the future.
