Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia provides an evidence-based and readable account of improving life at home for people with a dementia and their families. There are estimated to be 47 million people with a dementia worldwide the majority of whom will live or want to live in their own home. Yet there is a major shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people with a dementia living at home. Most research focuses on care in hospitals or care homes and takes a medical perspective. This book bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people with a dementia to live well at home from the viewpoint of those living with the condition and in the context of global policy drivers on ageing and health as well as technological advances. The book includes chapters on citizenships – that is the diversity of people living with a dementia – enabling life at home rethinking self-management the ethics and care of people with a dementia at home technological care and citizenship and sharing responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto in which we set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a dementia that covers the areas of professional practice education and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at home this book provides a synthesised critical and readable understanding of the complexities and risks involved.

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

What Makes Life Meaningful? A Debate

What Makes Life Meaningful? A Debate

Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about life’s meaning even mean? What is God’s role if any in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of life’s meaning. In this wide-ranging scholarly conversation Professors Thaddeus Metz and Joshua W. Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these questions while responding to each other’s objections in a lively dialog format. Seachris argues that the concept of life’s meaning largely revolves around three interconnected ideas—mattering purpose and sense-making; that a meaningful human life involves sufficiently manifesting all three; and that God would importantly enhance the meaningfulness of life on each of these three fronts. Metz instead holds that talk of life’s meaning is about a variety of properties such as meriting pride transcending one’s animal self making a contribution and authoring a life-story. For him many lives are meaningful insofar as they exercise intelligence in positive robust and developmental ways. Finally Metz argues that God is unnecessary for an objective meaning that suits human nature. Metz and Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these three questions while responding to each other’s objections in a dialog format that is accessible to students though—given their new contributions—will be of great interest to scholars as well. Key Features Offers an up-to-date scholarly conversation on life’s meaning by two researchers at the forefront of research on the topic. Provides a wide-ranging yet orderly discussion of the most important issues. Accessible for the student investigating the topic for the first time yet also valuable to the scholar working on life’s meaning. Includes helpful pedagogical features like:- Chapter outlines and introductions;- Annotated reading lists for both students and research-level readers;- A glossary; and- Clear examples thought experiments narratives and cultural references which enhance the book’s role in thinking about life’s meaning and related topics. | What Makes Life Meaningful?

Retirement is a comma in our lives not a full stop. Life After Work looks at the psychological emotional and wellbeing issues that surround this complex and important transition in life. This book suggests that retirement is a life stage over which we may have greater control than previously thought; it no longer has to be the case that retirement is a terminal point a time where you became sedentary and inactive. Retirement is on one level a private individual matter that affects one’s sense of self and purpose physical and mental processes as well as financial security or provision. On another level retirement has an impact on relationships with loved ones family and friends as well as colleagues. It can strengthen or disrupt bonds leading to new bonds being formed or to withdrawal. This book is written by successful authors and psychologists Robert Bor Carina Eriksen and Lizzie Quarterman each with many years’ experience of helping people cope with life stage changes and prepare for retirement. It contains illustrative case studies throughout from which valuable lessons can be learned and draws on the very latest psychological research and techniques to provide a blueprint for planning and living a wonderful retirement or life post-work. Planning for your future is crucial in enabling you to maximise the opportunities available. Following the book’s blueprint will help you prepare for this phase in your life and the sooner you start the better. Life After Work will be of great interest to readers of all ages seeking guidance on retirement and will also appeal to psychologists of life stage changes. | Life After Work A Psychological Guide to a Healthy Retirement

Edmund Campion A Scholarly Life

Edmund Campion A Scholarly Life

Edmund Campion: A Scholarly Life is the response at long last to Evelyn Waugh’s call in 1935 for a ’scholarly biography’ to replace Richard Simpson's Edmund Campion (1867). Whereas early accounts of his life focused on the execution of the Jesuit priest this new biography presents a more balanced assessment placing equal weight on Campion’s London upbringing among printers and preachers and on his growing stature as an orator in an Oxford riven with religious divisions. Ireland chosen by Campion as a haven from religious conflict is shown paradoxically to have determined his life and his death. Gerard Kilroy here draws on newly discovered manuscript sources to reveal Campion as a charismatic and affectionate scholar who was finding fulfilment as priest and teacher in Prague when he was summoned to lead the first Jesuit mission to England. The book argues that the delays in his long journey suggest reluctant acceptance even before he was told that Dr Nicholas Sander had brought ’holy war’ to Ireland so that Campion landed in an England that was preparing for papal invasion. The book offers fresh insights into the dramatic search for Campion the populist nature of the disputations in the Tower and the legal issues raised by his torture. It was the monarchical republic itself that in pursuit of the Anjou marriage made him the beloved ’champion’ of the English Catholic community. Edmund Campion: A Scholarly Life presents the most detailed and comprehensive picture to date of an historical figure whose loyalty and courage in the trial and on the scaffold swiftly became legendary across Europe. | Edmund Campion A Scholarly Life

Capital Redefined A Commonist Value Theory for Liberating Life

Capital Redefined A Commonist Value Theory for Liberating Life

Capital Redefined presents a unique perspective on the nature of “capital ” departing from the prevailing reductionist accounts. Hosseini and Gills offer an expanded perspective on Marxian value theory by addressing its main limitations and building their own integrative value theory. They argue that the current understanding of “value” must be re-examined and liberated from its subservient ties to capital while acknowledging the ways in which capital appropriates value. This is achieved by differentiating between “fetish value” created by capital and “true value” generated through various commons-based forms of coexistence. The authors propose a defetishization of value by rejecting the commonly accepted idea of its objectivity. They introduce their “commonist value theory ” which redefines capital as both the product and process of perverting the fundamental commoning causes of true value into sources of fetish value. Capital is theorized through a “modular” framework where multiple intersecting processes constitute a comprehensive power structure a “value regime ” representing an unprecedented degree of the domination of capital over life. Their theory reconciles two apparently incompatible views on the notion of value. One view encompasses all inputs involved in capitalist value production and conflates intrinsic and commodity values. The other warns against this conflation as it treats capital as an entity tightly associated only with commodity production and wage labor. The authors believe that establishing alternative forms of value creation based on normative principles of living in commons is crucial as an analytical base for criticizing existing power structures and economic systems. The book offers a theoretical foundation for transforming our life worlds toward “post-capitalist” futures. It appeals to scholars and students in various fields such as political economy capitalism and post-capitalist studies economic and political sociology globalization development studies social ecology and ecological philosophy.
