From Library Journal
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is the "fastest-growing workplace injury in the country" and, as such, is a hot topic?one that should be of concern to librarians not only because of public interest but also because of its threat to them as members of a high-risk profession, i.e., one that requires heavy usage of computers. Although many books are available on RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, ergonomics, and other related subjects, this one is worth adding to the collection because of its comprehensive coverage. Peddie, a journalist with RSI, describes causes, risk factors, diagnosis, and mainstream medical treatments, along with prevention tips, alternative therapies, coping, emotional consequences, and legal/financial issues. Helpful additions are an appendix of resources and a glossary, although there is no index. Similar in content to Emil Pascarelli and Deborah Quilter's Repetitive Strain Injury (LJ 2/15/94), this is recommended for public libraries and consumer health collections.?Dixie Jones, Louisiana State Univ. Medical Ctr. Lib., Shreveport
