Unknown Author

4.9/5 (27079 ratings)

Description:The first book to bring the silent epidemic of sports concussions out of the shadows, with dramatic true-life stories of victims—high school football players, college basketball stars, professional sports heroes—and the doctors and scientists who are unraveling the mysteries of concussions and crusading to prevent this devastating injury.• Follows in the footsteps of classics: Like what Fast Food Nation did for the American diet and The Noonday Demon did for depression, The Concussion Crisis puts a human face on a huge but largely invisible public health crisis.• An epidemic that afflicts millions: In the United States alone, 1.7 million people are seen in the ER each year for traumatic brain injuries, mostly concussions—more than for invasive cancers, heart attacks, and strokes. Experts estimate that millions more go undiagnosed and untreated. And yet, each day, parents around the country send their kids off to play sports completely unaware of the risk to their children’s brains. The Concussion Crisis is essential reading for every family.• A hidden health crisis revealed: Concussions can rob their victims of memory, mental ability, even a sense of self. Because the damage is rarely visible and barely registers on a brain scan, it’s easy to miss something that all too often is shrugged off as “just a bump on the head.”• Filled with poignant true-life examples: Readers meet a high school football star whose college career is derailed by concussions, a soccer mom who herself suffered concussions and now advocates for safety reform, a doctor who treats student athletes as well as pro players suffering from concussions, and more.• A call to action: The Concussion Crisis argues for a wholesale change in our culture—in how we think about and play sports at all levels, from peewee leagues to the Big Leagues.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
