People with intellectual disability often have health needs that go unrecognised and untreated; this may be because of difficulties in communication, diagnostic overshadowing, discrimination or indifference. There is concern that public health measures aimed at reducing the main health killers in the population will not address these issues for people with intellectual disability and may preferentially widen the inequality that already exists. This book is a comprehensive and systematic review of physical and mental health co-morbidities in people with intellectual disability. Such an evidence base is vital in shaping public health policy, healthcare commissioning and the development of more effective healthcare systems, as well as supporting better understanding and practice at an individual clinical level. This is essential reading for policy makers and commissioners of services, as well as individual practitioners across mainstream and specialist health and social care, in considering not only service developments but practice at the coalface.

"...a great addition to the universe of World War II literature," Jeff Ayers, Bestselling author Jane McCarthy's second novel brings the horrors of World War II from a rare perspective: seen through the eyes of an American GI and a German civilian-enemies.Drafted at nineteen, American John Conway learns there's little glory in battle. Horrified, he debarks a landing craft in gulf of Salerno into waters churned red by floating bodies. Amidst a rain of German shells, he watches his friend die. Deep in the Vosges forests of southeast Germany, he is wounded and left to die until found by a young German civilian, Karl Baum.Both men must make difficult decisions. By law, Karl should alert the German authorities he's sheltering an American soldier. Failure to do so is treason. Nursed by Karl's Germany family until he's well enough to travel, American John Conway wants to reunite with his troops in Italy. Conway turns on Baum, forcing him at gunpoint to lead him through dangerous winter mountains back to his platoon in Italy. Worse, instead of being thanked by the Americans for returning their soldier to his unit, an act of betrayal by Conway changes the course of both men's lives. The Faces of War also gives readers a rare glimpse of life behind the gates of an American camp for German prisoners of war. How were German prisoners treated, and how did Germans regard their American captors?In a story with war, drug addiction, and finally love, the courage and sacrifices of McCarthy's characters brings alive an extraordinary time in history. "...a daring, heart wrenching, pulse pounding story of hope," Jon Land, USA today bestselling author.
