Edited by Drs. Marcia L. Walker and David K. Stotlar, Sport Facility Management marks the advent of a new breed of sport management textbook. Until now, each aspect of sport management was covered in separate texts. Walker and Stotlar are the first to address physical education, athletics, recreation, health and fitness, and aquatics in one text. The editors also take a comprehensive approach to the topics covered. Beginning with general management and administration considerations, the text systematically moves through organizational and operation concerns, personnel planning, financial management, program development and scheduling, risk management, and marketing. Sport Facility Management also covers the development of specific facility areas, including adventure and rock climbing areas, aquatic centers, and dance studios. Not only will this text be ideal for your academic courses in sport management and administration, but it will also prove to be a valuable professional reference and resource.

In The Nipple and Areola in Breastfeeding and Lactation: Anatomy, Physiology, Problems, and Solutions, Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC, provides an in-depth resource for clinicians on the structure, function, problems, and solutions of the nipple and areola in lactation. The nipple and areola are the crucial interface between the breast and the infant. Problems with these structures, particularly pain and trauma, represent one of the most frequent causes of early termination of breastfeeding. This book examines the nipple and areola through a thorough description of the structure of the nipple, how it functions, its problems, and suggested solutions. New techniques have allowed the three-dimensional reconstruction of the internal structures of the nipple to be visualized, helping clinicians gain a better understanding of the anatomy and physiology of this specialized feature of the breast. This book covers the newest data in the structure and function of the nipple and areola gathered from computer reconstruction of sectioned tissue, ultrasound, and other study modalities. Topics range from common problems with suggested solutions to newer thoughts on remedies for sore nipples, such as peppermint gel and ozonated olive oil. Practical and usable care plans are provided for problematic situations. Figures, tables, boxes, and charts help summarize and enhance the usefulness of the book. This unique reference is a departure from the standard information found in text books and is specially designed as a practical resource for the busy clinician. Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC, is a registered nurse, lactation consultant, and breastfeeding advocate at the state and Federal levels. She sits on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition, Baby Friendly USA, and the US Lactation Consultant Association.
