Anyone faced with the prospect of having to place a parent in a nursing home knows it is one of life's more difficult decisions. One often feels guilt, doubt, helplessness, and sometimes even resentment. These emotions can overshadow the conviction that "this is the right thing for Mother/Father." Now there is a book that provides a solid basis for public evaluation of a nursing home. You, Your Parent, and the Nursing Home examines what makes a facility an emotionally nourishing environment. The author, who is eminently qualified to provide such guidance, explains the "Six Common Practices" that may not be contributing to the overall benefit of nursing home life, and which, until now, have been kept in the realms of "professional perogatives." Nancy Fox takes the reader on a tour of the local nursing facility, affording a peek backstage both during and after visiting hours, by the day and in the dead of night, into every nook and cranny. She provides helpful instructions on what to observe, and how to evaluate the care given. The family, she suggests, can become a powerful influence in bettering that care. Nancy Fox has practiced as a direct-care nurse or licensed vocational nurse in nine facilities in five states, and in a Vetran's Hospital. She has served as in-service director, staff nurse, and floor supervisor.

Long before the first Europeans appeared in the American Southwest, ancestors of today's Pueblo Indians were spinning and weaving cotton for their everyday garments and ceremonial costumes. Much has been written about the arts of American Indians in recent years, yet the living tradition of Pueblo weaving has gone almost completely ignored. PUEBLO WEAVING AND TEXTILE ARTS is the first book devoted entirely to the complete range of this special tradition. And what a tradition it is! Weaving, braiding, brocading, embroidery, and the creation of a brilliant array of garments--from kilts to blankets, belts, mantas, leggings, and more--are all included in the Pueblo textile repertoire. It was the Pueblo who first taught the Navajo how to weave their famous blankets and rugs, lending them both their loom and their basic techniques. PUEBLO WEAVING AND TEXTILE ARTS covers the craft completely. History, technique, description of looms, articles of woven, designs, and the state of the art today are described in detail. There is also a glossary of weaving terms, a chart of Pueblo weaving's evolution through the centuries, lists of prize-winning Pueblo weavers, and a stunning eight-page section in full color.

The CDC estimates the incidence rate is 20 times that number due to several factors. • The incidence of Lyme disease is reported in nearly every state of the United States with significant reports in 13 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. • Educating children about prevention strategies against ticks will save families costly devastating effects: financial—diagnosis and treatment can be a significant cost; physical—misdiagnosis leads to severe health complications including heart and neurological symptoms; social/emotional—being misunderstood as the symptoms may be not visible to others; educational—learning disabilities may occur with Lyme disease affecting the brain and overall health of individuals. • Hide-and-Seek: No Ticks, Please is a story to help parents, educators, and medical personnel discuss the risks of ticks, how ticks transmit bacteria, steps to prevent contact with ticks, and how to remove a tick properly if it does become attached.
