NO PROGRESS IN AMERICA: WILLIAMSON'S PATRIOT'S PROGRESSThe nature-loving, writing-obsessed Henry Williamson is not often included along with his fellow soldier-scribblers and is, indeed, barely known outside of England. Despite a canon well over forty tomes, Williamson's work has drifted in and out-of-print in the United States. His majestic WET FLANDERS PLAIN, which chronicles his somber return to the former battlefields after a twelve-year absence, cost this author (dollar amount) used in paperback and much anticipation as it slowly arrived from somewhere in Australia. Most of his novels are missing-in-action from used bookshop across America and must be ordered from abroad.
Fortunately, THE PATRIOT'S PROGRESS is still available (well, sort-of) and perhaps not for long. Perhaps his best-known novel in America, PATRIOT'S tells the story of Private John Bullock and his progress from a boorish London office job to the battlefields of France. Enhanced by the marvelous Masereel-esque woodcuts of
William Kermode, the novel details in sparse verbiage the life of the men in the trenches. Although not as detail-oriented as Blunden or Graves, it is nonetheless of interest to both the reader of literature and the historian and has been taught in university courses on The Great War. Williamson is an extremely important writer whose works certainly deserve a wider audience.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation - A students viewThis book aims to provide a clear insight into the possible treatment methods used in respiratory therapy. This third edition is a compilation of works primarily focussed on rehabilitation of chronic respiratory conditions written by various authors according to their particular area of expertise It is well written and follows a logical pattern, initially defining pulmonary rehabilitation leading on to individual therapeutic methods and, most impressively comparisons of treatment around the globe. Although written by Americans it is, in the whole very easy to understand as a student and treatment is not too dissimilar from UK procedures, however some methods of aerosol and oxygen therapy may be new or be referred to differently. All the chapters are well referenced and evidence-based practice is certainly emphasised. This book also confronts the personal and potentially awkward topics such as smoking and sexual activity of the patients highlighting possible patient problems and concerns. The beginning of each chapter has a bullet-point summary of the chapter's contents for easy referencing, for example in chapter 1 William Miller 'identifies early workers who defined the concepts of rehabilitation'. This book impressed me in that, although essentially collated by a doctor, all areas of pulmonary rehabilitation are commented upon. Within the section entitled 'Therapeutic intervention...' there are chapters regarding physiotherapy, occupational therapy and also a chapter outlining the importance of team integration in rehabilitation. Finally, John Hodgkin MD raises some very valid points for future research into pulmonary rehabilitation. Students can exploit his concerns, using the excellent summary of the book as a basis for dissertations and/or general research to further improve this area of healthcare.
Potentially this is an excellent book for the student interested in the subject, however, care must be taken as some areas are conducted in more depth than others. Having said that, I personally, am finding it a great reference book during the respiratory phase of my physiotherapy training and feel many others will also benefit.

Grauate ToolWritten in an easy-to-read style, READY FOR THE REAL WORLD covers most of the elements that college seniors must consider from the more practical aspect of the budgeting of finances to the often neglected consideration of psychological changes that take place as one goes from the rather protected status of a student to that as a job applicant and employee.
This book is an excellent one for college classes which are offered at the end of the senior year to help prepare students for life after college, but would also be helpful to individuals who are seriously thinking about the transition from college to the "real world."
The book includes checklists and activities that allow readers to assess their status financially, psychologically, and personally. I highly recommend this book.

Great and ToughIt is also difficult to read because of the language. But really, it's worth the work to get through it.
Great, moving.
Seems like this book precedes "The CNA/CNE Study Guide Intranetware Edition" ISBN 0-07-913619-2 published by same publisher by the same author John Mueller.
A word of warning: the book I mentioned apparently is guilty of false advertising. First 200 pages tell you how the certification works, and might indeed help you explain why you want to be certified.
What this book is NOT is a replacement for a Novell's training course.
It pushes you to attend Novell classes while David Clarke IV's series with the latest and the greatest Novell's CNE Study set, which comes with 2 volums and 4 cd-roms including live version of Netware excells in that area.
Bottom line: For CNE Benefits & Philosophy this is a great book. For real training check out David Clarke IV's CNE Study Guides instead. This particular title gets my 8 only for the first 200 pages. That's all I personally found valuable in it. My advice, find the book in a local bookstore, the later release is called "The CNA/CNE Study Guide Intranetware Edition" and flip though it. More likely then not you'll have 2nd thoughts about it.
This book earns it's place on my bookshelf though :-)
