Grandma BurrightNeva Grandma Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57 year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari mutuel harness racing after World War II. During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma Burrights exploits as a harness racing driver.

Neva ÒGrandmaÓ Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57-year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari-mutuel harness racing after World War II.

During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma BurrightÕs exploits as a harness racing driver. In 1943, she became the first woman to win a Grand Circuit race. In doing so, she defeated the legendary Sep Palin, Òthe aristocrat of drivers,Ó who had the financial backing of automobile heiress Frances Dodge Johnson. During that Grand Circuit race in Delaware, Ohio, Grandma Burright and Luckyette, her bay gelding, also shocked the harness racing world by setting a record for women drivers over a half-mile track with a time of 2:04 _.

In addition to Grandma BurrightÕs victories on race tracks, general audience magazines such as Coronet, Esquire, Hit!, Life, and Look magazines featured her in articles. She also appeared before millions on national television in 1954 and stumped the panelists on WhatÕs My Line?

In Grandma Burright: The Queen of Harness Racing, Kevin Groenhagen explores Grandma BurrightÕs legacy as a wife, mother, grandmother, and, of course, as a harness racing driver. He examines how a diminutive woman of modest means overcame numerous tragedies (the death of a husband, two grandsons, and two sons, all within 12 years) to become known as ÒThe Queen of Harness Racing.Ó

The writing is clear and professional, striking a balance that's both informative and accessible. The layout is intuitive, facilitating easy navigation and swift access to specific details. Clear fonts and consistent formatting enhance readability throughout. Overall, this desk reference is a fantastic resource for mental health professionals. Its concise format is a practical solution to the bulkiness of the full DSM-5-TR, ensuring essential information is always at hand. Highly recommended!

Nice quick reference to have
Format: Paperback
I have the full blown one I keep in my home office, and have another position where I don’t diagnose often, but keep this guy as a quick reference. My second position is working with mostly people who aren’t MH professionals, and this is just helpful for a general overview/fast refresher
