Kodaly Rhythmic Training Cards could be used to review, reinforce learning or perform and compose various rhythms. One lesson per group is also provided to help build creative ideas. Suggest to students, what other ways could the cards be used during music class. If no suggestions are voiced, you can input your own to motivate their imagination. Rhythm cards are organized in 5 groups: 1. Basic quarter and eighth notes/rests; 2. Mostly eighth notes starting on and off the beat; 3. Syncopated rhythms; 4. Dotted rhythms ; and Sixteenth note rhythms Two different sets of rhythms cards are included: Rhythms with heartbeats and Kodaly Rhythmic Syllables, and second set, rhythms with heartbeats only (for testing Kodaly rhythmic syllable usage) Also, 5 suggested lesson plans are included, assessment charts for self assessment, peer assessments and class assessments, Hearts and stick rhythms to copy, and a single line percussion staff for creating rhythms.

This book describes newly developed methods of assessing the autonomic nervous system. Up-to-date information on microneurographic analysis of human cardiovascular and thermoregulatory function in humans, heart rate variability, and 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy are provided. Microneurography, which was originally developed as a technique to analyze the afferent muscle spindle, came to be used to analyze sympathetic nerve activity in the mid-1980s. In the twenty-first century, this technique has become prevalent all over the world especially in investigating the pathophysiology of human cardiovascular function. It is also now used in researching human thermoregulatory function. Heart rate variability is another valuable tool in investigating the current status of human vagal function and in predicting future cardiovascular disease. MIBG is also used to assess cardiac noradrenergic function, especially decreases associated with Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body disease, and multisystem atrophy. Overviews of recent advances in these three important assessments are provided by leading experts.Clinical Assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System is a useful resource for neurologists and researchers of clinical neurophysiology.

WINNER OF THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARD One out of every two women will die of heart disease. It is the single greatest health risk for women today–more than stroke and all cancers combined. In the course of her practice, and as chief of Women’s Cardiac Care at New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital, Dr. Nieca Goldberg has come to a startling realization: Women experience heart disease in a fundamentally different way than men do. The physiology of a woman’s heart attack is not the same as a man’s, the symptoms of heart disease and signs of impending heart attack differ for women, and once heart disease has been recognized, women often do not get the treatment and medications they require. Now here are detailed, age-specific programs that give women the facts and the guidance they need to recognize, treat, and prevent heart disease, including • how you can rate your risk of heart disease • the effects of menopause on your heart • risk factors you can change–starting today • a heart-healthy exercise plan that works for you • a complete guide to heart-healthy supplements • the truth about hormone replacement therapy and the heart • recovering from a heart attack or surgery Authoritative, caring, and up-to-the-minute, this is the women’s health book for the new millennium.
