Böcker av Doug Anderson

This book, Safer Fall, is a resource for those with Parkinson's Disease, Caregivers and generally anyone who is concerned with the danger of falling and the injuries that can result from a fall. The book offers detailed narrative and photos on types of falls and step-by-step techniques to practice. In addition, it offers techniques and photos to practice assisting individuals up from a fall or even from seated positions when they are struggling.

"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self-discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre-civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His downward spiral-through booze, substance abuse, and sex-brings him dangerously close to a total breakdown. Finally, in a return group visit to Vietnam in 2000, he meets with former enemies now become writers and poets. Moved by the realization that "the last time I saw these people they were trying to kill me," Anderson confronts the past and calls upon a story-this powerful story-to rebuild a life.
