Diagnosis for Physical Therapists: A Symptom Based Approach
Todd E. Davenport, Kornelia Kulig, Chris A. Sebelski, J. Gordon, and Hugh G. Watts
The first diagnosis book written by PTs for PTs that is based on how patients come into the clinic by their presenting symptom, not by organ system! A pioneering team of practitioners and educators address the growing need for PTs to determine whether a patient s condition is appropriate for physical therapy to identify the relevant underlying pathology and to ensure that a serious condition has not been overlooked. Practical, well organized, and easy to use, it's a resource that you'll consult every day when evaluating and formulating treatment plans for both adults and children.

What a Man: The Relationship Between Black Fraternity Stereotypes and Black Sorority Mate Selection
Marcia D. Hernandez, Anita McDaniel, LaVerne Gyant, and Tina Fletcher
The black Greek-letter organization (BGLO) movement grew rapidly throughout the twentieth century, and these groups remain important for black cultural, political, and social life. Since their beginning, BGLOs have been defined by a tripartite identity. At the individual level, the organizations encourage members to excel, largely with respect to high academic achievement.¹ At the interpersonal level, BGLOs promote the development and maintenance of fictive kinship ties between individuals not related by blood or marriage.² Collectively, BGLOs share a similar mission of promoting racial equality and challenging discrimination via community service, civic action, philanthropy, and the shaping of public policy.³

On-Demand Visualization on Scalable Shared Infrastructure
Liu Huadong, Jinzhu Gao, Jian Huang, Micah Beck, and Terry Moore
The emergence of high-resolution simulation, where simulation outputs have grown to terascale levels and beyond, raises major new challenges for the visualization community, which is serving computational scientists who want adequate visualization services provided to them on-demand. Many existing algorithms for parallel visualization were not designed to operate optimally on time-shared parallel systems or on heterogeneous systems. They are usually optimized for systems that are homogeneous and have been reserved for exclusive use. This chapter explores the possibility of developing parallel visualization algorithms that can use distributed, heterogeneous processors to visualize cutting edge simulation datasets. The authors study how to effectively support multiple concurrent users operating on the same large dataset, with each focusing on a dynamically varying subset of the data. From a system design point of view, they observe that a distributed cache offers various advantages, including improved scalability. They develop basic scheduling mechanisms that were able to achieve fault-tolerance and load-balancing, optimal use of resources, and flow-control using system-level back-off, while still enforcing deadline driven (i.e. time-critical) visualization.

Pharmacology principles
Alan D. Kaye, Julie Gayle, and Adam M. Kaye
Introduction An increasing number of procedures requiring moderate and deep sedation are being performed outside the surgical suite. As a result, qualified non-anesthesia providers are administering moderate and deep sedation to patients for a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic, and/or surgical procedures. Practitioners should aim to provide patients with the benefits of sedation and/or analgesia while minimizing the associated risks. In order to do so, individuals responsible for patients receiving sedation and/or analgesia should understand the pharmacology of the agents being administered as well as the role of pharmacologic antagonists for opioids and benzodiazepines. Furthermore, combinations of sedative and analgesics should be administered as appropriate for the procedure being performed and the condition of the patient. Policies and standards regarding administration of sedation and analgesia by non-anesthesia providers are addressed elsewhere in the book. The following chapter focuses on the pharmacology of the drugs most commonly used to provide moderate and deep sedation and their available reversal agents.

A Theological Introduction to the Pentateuch: Interpreting the Torah as Christian Scripture
Joel N. Lohr and Richard S. Briggs
In this concise volume, a team of fresh Old Testament voices explores the theological dimensions of the Pentateuch and provides specific examples of critically engaged theological interpretation. This Pentateuch text is unique in that it emphasizes theological reading, serving as an affordable supplement to traditional introductory Pentateuch texts. Each chapter introduces theological themes and issues in interpretation then offers exegesis of one or two representative passages to model theological interpretation in practice. This useful text will be valued by students of the Old Testament and the Pentateuch as well as pastors. It honors Walter Moberly, whose approach is played out in the book.

The Book of Genesis: Composition, Reception, and Interpretation
Joel N. Lohr, Craig A. Evans, and David L. Petersen
Written by leading experts in the field, The Book of Genesis: Composition, Reception, and Interpretation offers a wide-ranging treatment of the main aspects of Genesis study. Its twenty-nine essays fall under four main sections. The first section contains studies of a more general nature, including the history of Genesis in critical study, Genesis in literary and historical study, as well as the function of Genesis in the Pentateuch. In the second portion, scholars present commentary on or interpretation of specific passages (or sections) of Genesis, as well as essays on its formation, genres, and themes. The third part includes essays on the textual history and reception of Genesis in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The final section explores the theologies of the book of Genesis, including essays on Genesis and ecology and Genesis in the context of Jewish thought.

It’s the Best Place for Him: Harry Potter and the Magical Uses of Space
Florence Maatita, Marcia D. Hernandez, and Kristen Kalz
Philosophers and psychologists have explored the Harry Potter stories through the lenses of their disciplines, now it's time for sociologists. In the twenty-two chapters of The Sociology of Harry Potter, social scientists from eight countries cast their imaginations on the wizarding world. From standard topics such as inequality and identity to more contemporary topics such as technology and trauma memory, this essay collection analyzes, not J. K. Rowling's books as fiction, but her wizarding world as a "real" society.

Showtime at the Cartesian Theater? Vehicle Externalism and Dynamical Explanations
Michael Madary
Vehicle externalists hold that the physical substrate of mental states can sometimes extend beyond the brain into the body and environment. In a particular variation on vehicle externalism, Susan Hurley (1998) and Alva Noë (2004) have argued that perceptual states, states with phenomenal qualities, are among the mental states that can sometimes spread beyond the brain. Their vehicle externalism about perceptual states will be the main topic of this article. In particular, I will address three strong objections to their vehicle externalism, objections by Ned Block (2005a), Jesse Prinz (2006), and Fred Adams and Ken Aizawa (2008). Though in some ways these objections appear disparate, I will argue that all of them depend on a crucial presupposition, one which Hurley, Noë, and their sympathizers should reject. This presupposition is that perceptual character is fixed by an instantaneous snapshot of neural states, a view that Hurley dubbed ‘temporal atomism’. To put the presupposition in more familiar terms, all three objections are implicitly committed to something like Dennett’s Cartesian Theater (1991).
In the first part of the article, I will discuss Hurley and Noë’s views, and include reasons why their views entail the rejection of the Cartesian Theater. In the next part of the article I will introduce the three objections and show how they presuppose something like a Cartesian Theater. I will also show that, if the Cartesian Theater is rejected, the objections all vanish. In the final part of the article I address the charge that Noë and Hurley confuse causation with constitution. This charge reveals a lack of appreciation for the way in which dynamical explanation motivates Hurley’s externalism.
