In this compelling memoir, author Kevin S. Garrison takes you on his journey from undergoing a Syme amputation to a life of service, helping others deal with the effects of physical disability as a Certified and Licensed Prosthetist. In 1969, teenager Kevin Garrison was diagnosed with cancer. Not long after that, his doctor informed him he needed a Syme amputation, and he would lose his right foot. At that moment, Garrison knew change was upon him forever. In this true story of survival, Garrison shares his incredible journey facing uncertainties and anger, struggling with emotional and physical pain, and fighting fear as he moves further away from his usual routine and into the world of the permanently disabled. This memoir is one of those inspirational stories that will help amputees, their family members, and healthcare providers learn how to let go of anger. Exploring his most profound, most personal thoughts, Garrison illustrates a descriptive and sometimes shockingly funny journey as he discovers what it's like to undergo amputee rehabilitation and that rebuilding your life is possible. In its third edition, It's Just a Matter of Balance will show amputees how to overcome physical disabilities and deal with the effects of physical disability and the emotional pain that comes with it. Garrison draws from other inspirational stories of survival during his time as a Certified and Licensed Prosthetist. In addition, he teaches amputees how to overcome despair as he shows his struggles to rebuild his life. The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists and The Veterans and Active-Duty Military Psychotherapy Treatment Planner recommend the book. Kirkus Reviews called the book, "A heartwarming debut memoir about finding meaning in the face of loss...His sly sense of humor, meanwhile, provides a good balance to his heavier material." Garrison knows firsthand that getting advice on dealing with amputee rehabilitation is not easy. However, his memoir, It's Just a Matter of Balance, will help you see how your story can help others. You'll see through Garrison's eyes that rebuilding your life is not only possible but that you can still live a life that involves serving others. The book chronicles the events leading to Garrison's below-the-knee amputation, his recovery, and the physiological adjustment needed to adopt a prosthetic limb. Additionally, he poignantly details his true feelings, triumphs, setbacks, and positive choices as he learns to focus on his abilities instead of his disabilities and overcome challenges. It's Just a Matter of Balance shares an eye-opening glimpse into the inspiring life of Garrison, who demonstrates to others that with genuine acceptance of our fate and dedication to anger management, we can live a whole life with significant meaning and purpose.

Previous study also shows that both fear of falling and falls efficacy need to be examined after intervention with separate appropriate measures(e.g., Valentine, Simpson, Worsfold, & Fisher, 2011). Nevertheless, in the research of the MOB program, studies often examined either fear of falling or falls efficacy, but not both (e.g., Tennstedt et al., 1998; Zijlstra et al., 2009). Therefore, whether the MOB program could improve both fear of falling and falls efficacy is uncertain. This dissertation includes three studies to examine the effects of the MOB program. The first study explores whether the program could effectively prevent falls and improve physical risk factors (i.e., mobility, walking speed, and postural control) among older adults. The second study examines the psychometric properties of a modified fear of falling measure and the effects of the program on fear of falling and falls-efficacy. The third study investigates whether the effects of the MOB program on falls, mobility, walking speed, and postural control can be maintained across five months. Three studies using a comparison group design were conducted to examine each objective. Data were collected at baseline (Time 1), the conclusion of the program (Time 2), and at a 3-month follow-up (Time 3). Overall, the studies in this dissertation show that older adults can improve their mobility, walking speed, postural control, fear of falling, and falls efficacy by participating in the MOB program but the program did not affect the total number of falls. The results also showed that older adults who received the MOB program reached their highest performance on mobility and walking speed immediately at the end of the program. However, their performance on postural control continued to improve and was the best at the 3-month follow-up.

Beginning in the 1890s, reaching its first full realization by modernist writers in the 1920s, and brought to its heyday during the Canadian Renaissance starting in the 1960s, the short story has become Canada's flagship genre. It continues to attract the country's most accomplished and innovative writers today, among them Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, and many others. Yet in contrast to the stature and popularity of the genre and the writers who partake in it, surprisingly little literary criticism and theory has been devoted to the Canadian short story. This collection redresses that imbalance by providing the first collection of critical interpretations of a range of thirty well-known and often-anthologized Canadian short stories from the genre's beginnings through the twentieth century. A historical survey of the genre introduces the volume and a timeline comparing the genre's development in Canada, the US, and Great Britain via representative examples completes it. The collection is geared both to specialists in and to students of Canadian literature. For the latter it is of particular benefit that the volume provides not only a collection of interpretations, but a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Canadian short story. Reingard M. Nischik is professor and chair of American Literature at the University of Constance, Germany.

In recent years, a more active and aggressive Congress has often sharply disagreed with the president over the ends and means of American foreign policy. The normal tensions that arise in the U.S. system of separate institutions sharing power have been exacerbated by the contemporary pattern of split-party control of the two branches. The ensuing conflict in areas ranging from Central America to China has stimulated a spirited debate about the constitutional authority and institutional competence of the president and Congress to make foreign policy. In this volume, noted authors, led by Thomas Mann, examine executive-legislative relations in five major policy areas: war powers, intelligence, arms control, diplomacy, and trade. They offer a fresh analysis of the sources and consequences of conflict between the President and Congress as well as constructive suggestions for strengthening each branch's comparative advantages.

One of this century's most influential musical intellects takes center stage in Taylor Greer's meticulously wrought study of Charles Seeger (1886-1979). Seeger left an indelible mark in the fields of musicology, music criticism, ethnomusicology, and avant-garde musical composition, but until now there has been no extended appreciation and critique of Seeger's work as a whole, nor has an accessible guide to his texts been available. Exploring the entire corpus of Charles Seeger's writing, A Question of Balance highlights the work of those persons who most influenced him, especially Henri Bergson, Bertrand Russell, and Ralph Perry. Invited to inaugurate the music department at the University of California's Berkeley campus in 1912, Seeger became keenly aware of his deficiencies in general education and put himself on a rigorous regimen of intellectual development that included studying history, anthropology, political theory, and philosophy. For the remainder of his life his ideas about music heavily influenced the development of ethnomusicology and systematic musicology. Charles Seeger is perhaps best known as the father of the folk singers Pete, Mike, and Peggy Seeger and as the husband of the innovative American composer Ruth Crawford. This book makes clear that Seeger was an extremely important thinker and educator in his own right. Seeger's intellectual curiosity was as eclectic as it was enthusiastic, and Greer skillfully weaves together the connections Seeger made between music, the humanities, and the sciences. The result is a luminous tapestry depicting Seeger's ideal schemes of musicology. At the same time it reflects the turbulence and vitality in American musical life during the early decades of the century.
