Описание: In December 1943, Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe with General Carl Spaatz in command of all US Army Air Force. In January 1944, M/G James Doolittle replaced M/G Ira Eaker to lead the Eighth Air Force. The air battle strategy scenario soon changed. Air strategy at the Casablanca Conference was to take out the Luftwaffe before D-Day. The modified P-51 was now one had in good numbers. Doolittle made a key decision to turn his fighters loose. They would no longer fly with bomber formation but now in fighter sweeps to hit Luftwaffe installations and destroy Luftwaffe fighters as they formed for the intercept. Spaatz and Doolittle prayed for one week of good weather in which massive bomber raids could be launched to flush out get German fighters. During that week, five such bomber attacks attacked key targets. It worked, but at high cost to both sides. Eighth Air Force, Fifteenth Air Force and the RAF lost 369 aircrafts, but the Luftwaffe Fighter Command lost an estimated two thirds of its strength. The Luftwaffe did not show up on D-Day except for a few furtive attacks on the beachheads. The battle for air supremacy was won by the Allies and the progressive decline of the Luftwaffe ensued thereafter. The book will provide insight into a pilots mind who flew such missions and try to give the reader not only the historic background, but a sense of what it must have been like to fly such missions.

Описание: A volume in the Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation Series, curated by Steven L. Wolf, PhD, PT, FAPTAImplement a current, evidence-based approach to the selection, application, and uses of therapeutic modalities as an essential tool for functionally based rehabilitation and as a complement to other types of interventions in a patient-centered model of care.The 7th Edition of this groundbreaking text fosters an in-depth understanding of the science behind each modality, its advantages and limitations, its appropriateness for specific conditions, and its implementation. A hands-on problem-solving approach promotes the development of essential clinical decision-making skills through a wealth of full-color photographs and illustrations, special features, and challenging cases studies.Case studies with clinical decision components feature rationales for selecting and applying each therapeutic modality.Suggested Lab Activities promote discussion and hands-on practice.Illustrations, photographs, and graphs bring the text to life and familiarize you with the equipment you’ll need to know about when you enter your clinical rotations.Important facts, highlighted in each chapter, prepare you for tests on the clinical application of the modality.“Key Word Literature Searches” and “Websites for Literature for Evidence” boxes enhance your understanding of research and evidence.New To This Edition: Updated, Enhanced, & Revised! The content reflects the most current information on the science and practice of therapeutic interventions.Updated & Enhanced! A more step-by-step approach to the application of the agents makes the procedures easier to follow and easier to understand.New! Case Studies are followed by open-ended questions that promote active discussions of clinical decision-making.New! “For Whom and When” boxes succinctly describe which patients are most appropriate for the application of a specific physical agent and when administration of the agent is most indicated and supported.“Complementary Role” sections highlight how specific agents play a complementary role to other interventions as part of the larger plan of care.Updated! References at the end of each chapter reflect timely and relevant sources of information.
