I love to read, and some of you may as well, so here are a few reference books that are jam-packed with helpful information! I am posting the link to these three specific books, in a gmail book search format, for a few reasons.
First - These three particular books have lots of information that you cannot always find on the Internet. They list other resources, and they recognize the sensitive nature of the subject while providing clear explanations with helpful illustrations on an extensive range of SCI subjects.
Second - These books were recommended to me by others, whether professional, aspiring professional, or interested other.
Third - Why the google links? Did you know that you can often preview books in google? Well, you can and it usually helps you get a feel for the information in the book without having to pick it up. The first book from the Mayo Clinic has a good preview. The second two do not, but you have an option to search 'From Inside the Book' , meaning search the actual book for the subject you are curious about.
Fourth - This blog is based out of Nova Scotia, Canada - and these books were available at the university Library! That's right, the free to borrow library :) Also the universities and colleges are all linked together by a search engine called Novanet, if you are a member of the library you can have books brought in from anywheres including out of province. If you are not a member, you are still most definitely allowed to go into, say, the Dalhousie Kellogg library (which is wheelchair accessible) and look through the books as you like without taking them out. There are lots of options.
Fifth - If these books don't interest you, now you know how to look up ones that do. Search google books and you can select 'preview and full view' in your search options to get a peek inside the book. I actually get lots of great recipes using this trick! but you can read whole books there - http://books.google.com/
happy reading!
