Pinpoint accuracy on a relatively new kind of injury 
Suparna and Jack have given a huge gift to the software development industry. Reading this book back in 2002 helped me begin my journey to recovery after I had gotten to the point of not being able to throw a football to my son. I fully recovered in about a year.

Here are the four issues I would say to keep in mind as you read this book--not before, since they won't make much sense.
