Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Older people are like younger people citizens in the communities of the nations in which they live. This book sees ageing as a life journey that incorporates a process of citizening in which people build their identity as part of their family and community. But the social experience of illness frailty disability and reaching the end of life may de-citizen older people by devaluing the social identity that comes from continuing social engagement. We de-citizen older people by emphasizing dependence on services and their cost to public expenditure instead of valuing the interdependence of participation and mutual respect. This book argues that older people retain full citizenship for the whole of their lives up to the moment of death; but what does this mean for health and social care? In this groundbreaking book Malcolm Payne argues that social work with older people must build re-citizening practice strategies to value both the common and the special aspects of the citizenship of older people. Current models of social care and social work create dependency rather than relying on values of participative interdependence. The failure to recognize the end of life as a crucial element in all social care and social work for older people means that the lessons learned in providing palliative and end-of-life care in healthcare have not been transferred to social care and the priorities of end-of-life care have not been adequately encompassed in social work with older people. | Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Design for Life Creating Meaning in a Distracted World

Design for Life Creating Meaning in a Distracted World

Stuart Walker’s design work has been described as life-changing inspiring disturbing and ferocious. Drawing on an extraordinarily diverse range of sources and informed by creative practice Design for Life penetrates to the heart of modern culture and the malaise that underlies today’s moral and environmental crises. The author argues that this malaise is deep-seated and fundamental to the modern outlook. He shows how our preoccupation with technological progress growth and the future has produced a constricted view of life – one that is both destructive and self-reinforcing. Based on over twenty-five years of scholarship and creative practice he demonstrates the vital importance of solitude contemplation inner growth and the present moment in developing a different course – one that looks squarely at our current precarious situation while offering a positive hopeful way forward – a way that is compassionate context-based human scale ethically motivated and critically creative. Design for Life is an intensely original contribution that will be essential reading for design practitioners and students. Written in a clear accessible style it will also appeal to a broader readership especially anyone who is concerned with contemporary society’s rising inequalities and environmental failings and is looking for a more constructive balanced and thoughtful direction. | Design for Life Creating Meaning in a Distracted World

I Answer with My Life Life Histories of Women Teachers Working for Social Change

I Answer with My Life Life Histories of Women Teachers Working for Social Change

Originally published in 1993. This book shows through the oral histories of ordinary women teachers that effective prescriptions for change do not come simply from policy-makers. The author focuses on the narratives of three groups of teachers in the USA: Catholic nuns; secular Jewish women; and Black women. For each of these the individual teachers’ narratives have been examined for constructions common to the group and these patterns are assembled into a discourse. Teachers’ self-identities are considered as are their assessments of the institutions in which they have worked and their relationships with the pupils. The text examines how the social role of the teacher is constructed by the lives of these women. Incorporating this perspective of diversity into the educational debate this book argues that these less dominant but important voices shouldn’t be ignored. | I Answer with My Life Life Histories of Women Teachers Working for Social Change

Long Lives Are for the Rich Aging the Life Course and Social Justice

Long Lives Are for the Rich Aging the Life Course and Social Justice

Long Lives Are for the Rich is the title of a silent ominous program that affects the lives of millions of people. In all developed countries disadvantaged and especially poor people die much earlier than the most advantaged. During these shorter lives they suffer ten to twenty years longer from disabilities or chronic disease. This does not happen accidentally: health inequalities – including those between healthy and unhealthy life styles – are mainly caused by social inequalities that are reproduced over the life course. This crucial function of the life course has become painfully visible during its neoliberal reorganization since the early 1980s. Studies about aging over the life course from birth to death show the inhumane consequences as people get older. In spite of the enormous wealth that has been piled up in the US for a dwindling percentage of the population there has been growing public indifference about the needs of those in jobs with low pay and high stress but also about citizens from a broad middle class who can hardly afford high quality education or healthcare. However this ominous program affects all: recent mortality rates show that all Americans including the rich are unhealthier and dying earlier than citizens of other developed countries. Moreover the underlying social inequalities are tearing the population apart with nasty consequences for all citizens including the rich. Although the public awareness of the consequences has been growing neoliberal policies remain tempting for the economic and political elites of the developed world because of the enormous wealth that is flowing to the top. All this poses urgent questions of social justice. Unfortunately the predominant studies of social justice along the life course help to reproduce these inequalities by neglecting them. This book analyzes the main dynamics of social inequality over the life course and proposes a theory of social justice that sketches a way forward for a country that is willing to invest in its greatest resource: the creative potential of its population. | Long Lives Are for the Rich Aging the Life Course and Social Justice

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been less than satisfactory there is a presumption that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be realized at some point. International air and marine travel have been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations and the effects of these specific commercial activities are by their nature difficult to corral and assign to specific national jurisdictions. However air travel is increasing and unless something is done emissions from this segment of our world economy will form a progressively larger percentage of the total especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy terms from the broadest reliable sources of information available for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials and the barriers to change. It also advances some elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than 'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge resource available to academics policy makers air industry leaders and stakeholders and interested members of the public. | Will Sustainability Fly?

Preparation for Life? Vocationalism and the Equal Opportunities Challenge

Preparation for Life? Vocationalism and the Equal Opportunities Challenge

First published in 1997 this volume contributes to the debate on the ground-breaking Technical and Vocational Education Initiative (TVEI) introduced by Margaret Thatcher by exploring the implications of its equal opportunities policy. The scheme was announced in 1982 piloted in 1983 extended nationally in 1987 and ended in 1997. It responded to criticisms that the education system was failing to meet the needs of employers and committed to equal opportunities for boys and girls along with increasing access to technology at the genesis of the computing era. The TVEI represented the first major intervention by central Government in curriculum development in England and was organised on a local authority level. The author Sue Heath had experienced mixed messages for what students of each gender could expect to achieve and she remained fascinated by the implications of the TVEI for 1980s school curriculums. Based on research begun in 1989 the volume reassesses the significance of the TEVI as a landmark policy in education. Heath examines areas including vocationalism the issue of gender implementing the TVEI locally the curricular experiences of TVEI pupils and whether the TVEI succeeded in preparing students for the world of work and later life. | Preparation for Life?

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life cycle assessment enables the identification of a broad range of potential environmental impacts occurring across the entire life of a product from its design through to its eventual disposal or reuse. The need for life cycle assessment to inform environmental design within the built environment is critical due to the complex range of materials and processes required to construct and manage our buildings and infrastructure systems.
