Age or Need?: Public Policies for Older People

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neugarten, Bernice L. / Neugarten, Bernice Levin, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Should benefits for older people be based on age or need? Do programmes that serve only older people people deflect resources that should go to other people? Some of the contributors to this volume argue that social service programmes should be based on need, rather than defined groups of people. Apart from anything else, age-based programmes confirm negative stereotypes of older people, and lump them into an undifferentiated group. But would the reform of social services along these lines jeopardize the recent progress made in the condition of older people? New thoughts and new information are provided in support of both arguments.

Worlds of Illness: Biographical & Cultural Perspectives on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Radley, Alan / Radley Alan, PUBLISHER: Routledge, In recent years the study of illness as experienced by patients has emerged as an approach to understanding sickness. Descriptions of the everyday situations of people with particular diseases, provide a commentary upon the nature of symptoms and upon the relation of the body to society. This approach stresses the biographical and cultural contexts in which illness arises and is borne by individuals and those who care for them. It emphasises the need to understand illness in terms of the patients own interpretation, of its onset, the course of its progress and the potential of the treatment for the condition. Worlds of Illness examines people's experience of illness and their understanding of what it means to be healthy. The contributors are the first to offer this biographic and cultural approach in one volume, redefining the perspective further and drawing attention to its potential for questioning theoretical assumptions about health and illness.

Since it was first published in , Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, dig deep canals for boats to travel through, cut mountain passes for trains, and hollow out cellars for city skyscrapers -- the very symbol of industrial America. But with progress come new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. Mike believes that Mary Anne can dig as much in a day as one hundred men can dig in a week, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save Mary Anne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.

The Favored Daughter: One Woman's Fight to Lead Afghanistan

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Koofi, Fawzia / Gourhi, Nadene / Ghouri, Nadene, PUBLISHER: Palgrave MacMillan, The nineteenth daughter of a local village leader in rural Afghanistan, Fawzia Koofi was left to die in the sun after birth by her mother. But she survived, and perseverance in the face of extreme hardship has defined her life ever since. Despite the abuse of her family, the exploitative Russian and Taliban regimes, the murders of her father, brother, and husband, and numerous attempts on her life, she rose to become the first Afghani woman Parliament speaker. Here, she shares her amazing story, punctuated by a series of poignant letters she wrote to her two daughters before each political trip--letters describing the future and freedoms she dreamed of for them and for all the women of Afghanistan. Her story movingly captures the political and cultural moment in Afghanistan, a country caught between the hope of progress and the bitter truth of history.

Nature and Nurture During Infancy and Early Childhood

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Plomin, Robert / Defries, J. C. / Fulker, D. W., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In light of work by quantitative geneticists, the authors reconsider the interaction of heredity and environment in the development of individual differences during infancy and early childhood. Quantitative genetics offers a general theory of the development of individual differences that suggests novel concepts and research strategies: the idea that genetic influences operate in age-to-age change as well as in continuity, for example. Quantitative genetics also provides powerful methods to address questions of change and continuity which are helpfully introduced in this study. Longitudinal quantitative genetic research is essential to the understanding of developmental change and continuity. The largest and longes longitudinal adoption study is the Colorado Adoption Project, which has generated much of the rich data on the progress from infancy to early childhood on which the authors draw throughout the book.

I See a Voice: Deafness, Language and the Senses--A

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ree, Jonathan, PUBLISHER: Metropolitan Books, A groundbreaking study of deafness, by a philosopher who combines the scientific erudition of Oliver Sacks with the historical flair of Simon Schama. There is nothing more personal than the human voice, traditionally considered the expression of the innermost self. But what of those who have no voice of their own and cannot hear the voices of others? In this tour de force of historical narrative, Jonathan Ree tells the astonishing story of the deaf, from the sixteenth century to the present. Ree explores the great debates about deafness between those who believed the deaf should be made to speak and those who advocated non-oral communication. He traces the botched attempts to make language visible, through such exotic methods as picture writing, manual spellings, and vocal photography. And he charts the tortuous progress and final recognition of sign systems as natural languages in their own right.

The the Next Level: What Insiders Know about Executive

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Eblin, Scott, PUBLISHER: Nicholas Brealey Publishing, After the thrill of promotion to an executive position comes the sobering reality of just how difficult it is to succeed at this level-and how hard it can be to find help. Some 40 percent of new executives don't last 18 months. Why do so many employees with strong track records derail when promoted to the executive suite? In The Next Level, Scott Eblin draws on 20 years of experience as a leader and executive coach to identify why new executives fail, and offers a practical program for achieving success. Rising executives must understand that the strengths and actions that drove their career progress at lower levels-such as technical prowess-will not necessarily sustain their success as executives. They need to pick up new behaviors and beliefs, and, more important, let go of old ones.

Umwelt-Lesebuch: Green Issues in Contemporary German Writing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goodbody, Axel / Goodbody, PUBLISHER: St. Martin's Press, The environment plays a central role in contemporary German political culture. Umwelt-Lesebuch provides essential information on the key themes of deforestation, nuclear power, endangered species, the changing landscape, and the darker side of technology and progress, giving an overview of contemporary German responses to the global ecological problems of our time. It contains thirty-four German literary texts on environmental issues written in the last twenty-five years. These texts, passages from novels such as Gunter Grass' Die Rattin, essayistic prose such as Christa Wolf's Storfal, and poems, protest songs, and speeches by West and East Germans have been chosen as much for their literary quality as for their role in furthering public debate on ecological issues and promoting environmental consciousness. They are introduced in English and accompanied by notes, exercises and a glossary.

Intercultural Communication Theory: Current Perspectives

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gudykunst, William B., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The seventh volume of the distinguished series International and Intercultural Communication Annuals is published for the first time by SAGE. It is also the first volume to be presented in a new format: theme-oriented volumes that examine key issues in intercultural communication. Twenty four leaders in the field contribute original essays that review the progress made toward developing theories of intercultural communication. Theories based on traditional communication perspectives, new theories that are unique to this new emerging discipline, and contributions from such areas as philosophy, social psychology and linguistics are described. If one were to offer a seminar designed to take stock of theory in intercultural communication, this volume would be a good choice of text. One might well argue that it is the "only" choice...this book provides the beginnings of order in a field that has prided itself on its ecumenical rather than its ordered self-view.' -- "Journal of Communication, Summer

America's Undeclared War: What's Killing Our Cities and How

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lazare, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), "I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health, and the liberties of man," wrote Thomas Jefferson in , sounding a note that has echoed throughout American history. In this bracing reexamination, Daniel Lazare traces the progress of America's unwavering war on its cities and looks at the profound consequences. From Jefferson through Henry Ford and Franklin Roosevelt to the present, we have labored to wither our cities, simultaneously fouling our air and our landscape, depleting our energy resources to feed our automobiles and neglecting any form of community other than hollow, homogenous suburbs. And yet the average American has a smaller share of the country's wealth than the average European and less opportunity to improve his or her lot. Provocative and enlightening, America's Undeclared War exposes a prejudice both fundamental and destructive to American culture. With a mordant wit and a refreshing clarity, Lazare offers a vision that can re-invigorate us, our communities, and our future.

Serving God

Once every generation, a book comes along that defines debate, shapes attitudes, and changes society. The Body is such a book.

In this watershed book, Colson pulls no punches: The church is in an identity crisis. He dares Christians to renounce the petty, sectarian divisions that blunt the church's witness in the world and calls us to affirm our oneness even as we celebrate our diversity.
