From dark aqueducts to dazzling chariot-racing, this second novel in the Lucius Marius Nola Series is certainly not a disappointment! Again the author manages to fuse cultural insights of Roman life successfully with an atmospheric murder mystery. We are rooting for the hero Nola, and meeting new, colourful characters, such as the earnest and loyal Ennius, as the mystery unravels....I was absorbed from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource Manual
Reviewed in Canada on 25 April 2013
Verified Purchase
ACSM'S Exercise Management for Persons With Chronic Diseases & Disabilities is an excellent resources for physiologists, kinesiologists or anyone else in an exercise prescription role working with individuals with chronic conditions.

There are a wide variety of diseases and disorders covered in this book, and the sections on them are short and to the point (usually around 7 pages at the very most) which makes this book an excellent resource manual. This book will NOT show you how to perform various exercises for people with specific conditions; it assumes that you already have the academic background to properly apply and understand the concepts and recommendations outlined within the book.

Each section tends to follow a similar format where:

- A background is provided on the pathophysiology of the condition.
- Information is provided outlining the conditions specific effects on the exercise response.
- The effects of exercise training on the condition are discussed.
- Management and medications often used to treat the disease/disorder are discussed.
- Recommendations are made for exercise testing and,
- Recommendations for exercise programming are made.

There are a lot of tables in the book that nicely outline special considerations and recommendations for various modes of training and at the back of the book are tables outlining various drug classes, drug names and their brand names and their effects on blood pressure, heart rate (both at rest and during exercise), changes in ECG readings and effects on the exercise response.

Overall, this book is a must-own for individuals working with special populations.

Recommended for: Physical Therapists, Athletic Therapists, Exercise Physiologists, Kinesiologists or Strength & Conditioning Coaches who have clients with special considerations.

NOT Recommended for: Personal Trainers (typically outside their scope of practice) or average person with a disease/disorder looking to get in shape.
