Couple Sexuality After 60 Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying

Couple Sexuality After 60 Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying

Confronting taboos and misunderstandings about sexuality and aging Couple Sexuality After 60: Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying motivates couples to embrace sex and sexuality in their 60s 70s and 80s. The book busts two extreme myths—that people over 60 cannot and should not be sexual and that the best way to be sexual is to emphasize eroticism using sex toys and kinky sex. Using a variable flexible approach to couple sexuality based on the Good Enough Sex (GES) model this book places the essence of sexuality in pleasure-oriented touching not individual sex performance. Barry and Emily McCarthy introduce a new sexual mantra of desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction with the goal of presenting a healthy model of sexuality to replace the traditional double standard that couples learn in young adulthood. Specific chapters focus on important areas like coming to terms with the new normal female–male sexual equity satisfaction being about more than intercourse and orgasm valuing synchronous and asynchronous sexuality psychobiosocial approaches to sexuality and more. In addition to aging heterosexual couples single individuals and queer couples will find this book interesting. Additionally sexual health clinicians and sex therapists with clients over the age of 60 will find this a fascinating read. | Couple Sexuality After 60 Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying

Restructuring the Soviet Economy

Restructuring the Soviet Economy

Restructuring the Soviet Economy examines the Soviet leadership's most urgent question - how to revitalize the soviet economy. David Dyker argues that the current impasse can can only be understood in the context of the failure of 60 years of central planning. He analyses both the problems besetting the centrally planned system and those that have paralysed perestroika and assesses whether the most ambitious attempt ever to reform the Soviet economy will succeed.

Maintainability Maintenance and Reliability for Engineers

Maintainability Maintenance and Reliability for Engineers

The demands of the global economy require manufacturers to produce highly reliable and easily maintainable engineering products. Recent studies indicate that for many large and sophisticated products or systems maintenance and support account for as much as 60 to 75 percent of their life cycle costs. Therefore the role of maintainability maintenance and reliability has become increasingly significant. Satisfying the pressing need for a volume that addresses these subjects with an interdiscilinary approach Maintainability Maintenance and Reliability for Engineers distills knowledge specific to each discipline into one comprehensive resource. After reviewing the history of all three fields and their interrelationships the book covers mathematical concepts such as Boolean algebra laws probability properties mathematical definitions and probability distributions. It includes reliability evaluation methods such as fault tree analysis network reduction method delta-method Markov method supplementary variables method and reliabitity management both mechanical and human. Highlihting maintainibility tools and functions the author discusses topics in maintainibility management and costing including tasks during product life cycle program plan organization functions design reviews life cycle costing investment cost elements and life cycle cost estimation models. The author also includes coverage of maintenance engineering focusing on safety quality corrective and preventive maintenance.

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Plants are autotrophs and sessile while animals are heterotrophs and motile. Sessility has imposed on plants 94% hermaphroditism 23% selfing 3% polyploidization and 39% clonality in comparison to < 5% herma-phroditism < 1% selfing and 2% clonality in motile animals. Whereas plants consist of 374 000 species but 1 664 variety/species animals comprise 1 543 196 species and 210 variety/species. Hence plants have undergone variety diversity while animals have species diversity. In animals and plants the species ratio is reduced from 4. 1 animals : 1. 0 plant to 1. 4 for pollinating animals : 1. 0 pollinated plants. In pollination animals are benefited dietarily but plants are cross pollinated generating new gene combinations – the raw material for evolution and speciation. For the reduced species diversity in plants reasons are traced to 90% hermaphroditism ~ 23% selfing and 39% clonality. Clonality decreases from 100% in 6-7 tissue typed sponges and 3 tissue typed algae drastically to 0. 7% in 60 tissue typed worms but gradually to ~ 23% in 60 tissued typed angiosperms. About 12-15 5-8 and 77-80% of all animal and plant species are distributed in marine freshwater and terrestrial habitats respectively. Animals have conserved the ‘right’ sequence of gametogenesis but plants have gone through a ‘wrong’ sequence prior to settling with right one albeit with double fertilization in angiosperms. Both animals and plants are 80% male heterogametics. Only 0. 5% of them can afford semelparity. While 20 and 57% angiosperms are perennial trees and herbs annual herbs make up 23% only. In all of them 85 > 19 and < 1% are pollinated by fast flying animals wind and water respectively. Increasing pollen load enhances fruit- and seed-set. In contrast to animals the life cycle of plants is direct but complicated. Unlike animals plants have greatly contributed to weathering of rocks and the atmospheric gas composition during the geological past. From dormant spores and seeds of plants life can be restored after thousands of years. | Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Gateways to Understanding Music

Gateways to Understanding Music

Gateways to Understanding Music Second Edition explores music in all the categories that constitute contemporary musical experience: European classical popular jazz and world music. Covering the oldest forms of human music making to the newest this chronology presents music from a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective. Each of 60 gateways addresses a particular genre style or period of music. Every gateway opens with a guided listening example that unlocks a world of music through careful study of its structural elements. How did the piece come to be composed or performed? How did it respond to the social and cultural issues at the time and what does that music mean today? Students learn to listen to explain understand and ultimately value all the music they encounter in their world. New to this edition is a broader selection of musical examples that reflect the values of diversity equity and inclusion advocated by North American universities. Eight gateways have been replaced. A timeline of gateways helps students see the book’s historical narrative at a glance. Features Values orientation - Diverse equitable and inclusive approach to music history. All genres of music - Presents all music as worthy of study including classical world popular and jazz. Global scope within a historical narrative - Begins with small-scale forager societies up to the present with a shifting focus from global to European to American influences. Recurring themes - Aesthetics emotion social life links to culture politics economics and technology. Modular framework - 60 gateways - each with a listening example - allow flexibility to organize chronologically or by the seven themes. Consistent structure - With the same step-by-step format students learn through repeated practice how to listen and how to think about music. Anthology of scores - For those courses that use the textbook in a music history sequence. Gateways to Understanding Music continues to employ a website to host the audio examples and instructor’s resources.
