What have rabbits, t-shirts and tax bills got to do with spinal cord injury? The Very Alternative Guide to Spinal Cord Injury aims to answer these and many other questions in a way which is unique and different to any other book you've ever seen. Out go complicated medical texts and dull as dishwater hospital booklets. Instead, we get something bright, eye-catching, funny and even sarcastic. You really won't find a book on spinal cord injury like it anywhere. Combining first-hand experience, health information and a ground breaking visual approach, this guide has been written from the point of view of those who have been through it. The book breaks conventions by using humour to tackle issues that are never easy to discuss. Aimed at those with a spinal injury it is also written to support family and friends. Medical professionals will also find it is an invaluable tool for communicating issues related to spinal injury.
