This thoughtful new book presents strategies for helping end-stage
renal disease patients and their families deal with the
psychosocial aspects of the chronic long-term illness.
Technological advances in the treatment of this disease have
offered much hope for improved quality in living which has led
caregivers to have a greater concern for preserving the quality of
life of their patients. In Psychosocial Aspects of End-Stage Renal
Disease leaders in the field of many disciplines share knowledge
and reveal problems that are still evident to them in the
confrontation with this potentially fatal illness.Five
comprehensive sections devote special attention to the different
areas of concern for the psychosocial well-being of end-stage renal
disease patients. The impact of renal disease on family
relationships is covered by examining issues of family responses
and coping measures such as marital and family reactions to home
and hospital dialysis treatment. Ethical issues in treatment are
explored, including the ethics of treatment refusal and a Jewish
perspective on kidney transplants. Relations between staff and
patients and a timely section on renal disease and special
populations, particularly the elderly and AIDS patients, make up
the final two sections of this informative volume. Professionals in
all allied health disciplines will benefit from this important
volume as it demonstrates a model approach, if not the definitive
one, for the treatment of the psychosocial aspects of end-stage
renal disease as well as other chronic illnesses.

Two classic Doctor Who adventures, one from the 1970s and one from
the 1980s, both featuring those sinister humanoids the Cybermen. In
'Revenge of the Cybermen' (1975), the Doctor (Tom Baker), Sarah
Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) return to the space
station Nerva (from 'The Ark in Space') to recover the TARDIS. They
discover the crew decimated by a strange plague, to which Sarah
falls prey. The Doctor realises that the plague is part of a plot
by the Cybermen to destroy Voga, the planet of gold - gold being
the only thing which is lethal to them. At the same time the Vogans
are planning to destroy the Cybermen with their Skystriker rocket.
The three-part adventure 'Silver Nemesis' (1988) was made to
celebrate Dr Who's 25th anniversary. A statue, blasted into space
350 years ago, crashes into Earth in the core of a meteor. The
Doctor (Baker) and his assistant Ace (Sophie Aldred) must fight two
armies from different time periods, a regiment from 1988 and a
battallion of soldiers from 2688, whilst guarding the statue from
the clutches of the Cybermen.
Feature-length episode to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
long-running sci-fi series. All five Doctors (Peter Davison,
Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Richard Hurndall and Tom Baker) and
many of their old companions are taken out of time and deposited in
the Death Zone on Gallifrey. There they must battle not only the
Master, but Daleks, Cybermen and Yeti in order to reach the Dark
Tower and discover the Tomb of Rassilon. This special edition
includes new special effects and extra footage not included in the
original broadcast.

of Southend. Already under scrutiny following the murder of a
corrupt cop, DS Frank Pearson and DC Cat Russell of the Essex Major

the estranged father, who's been trying to find the victim for
months. One thing is clear: no one is telling the whole truth. A
KILLER BACK FOR MORE? Then a shocking tragedy leads Pearson to a
similar murder case from decades before. Is it a coincidence, or is
history repeating itself? As Pearson and Russell search for the
answer, they find themselves drawn into a terrifying cover-up going
back fifty years... If you like Peter James, LJ Ross, Erin Kelly,
TM Logan and Patricia Gibney, then you'll love Mark Hardie's

At 3 years old, my first grand daughter was sophisticated, affable,
and articulate - or so she thought. Her vocabulary included words
like "Lasterday," "Nexterday," and "Inaminnit" to communicate her
concepts of time. Granted, these concepts were born, in part, from
her perceptions of her father's procrastinations. "Dad, what doin'
Lasterday?" "Cake, inaminnit." "Home Nexterday...kay?" But, I have
found these words to be exceptionally versatile in communicating
those pleasurable and unbounded memories of times, places, and
events - the realities of which no longer fi nd place in our
current time. Lasterday is a work of love, a flight of fancy, an
effort to share with my beloved grandchildren, a cherished place,
treasured times, and a sense of personal freedom that -like the
refreshment taken from those cold and clear mountain waters of my
youth - have run inexorably, as Life's river, out of my grasp and
beyond my view; and which exist now, but only as memories. In
Lasterday, I found an ability to communicate, to my dearest ones,
something in me that had been locked away. I entrust the words to
you. May they help you to unlock memories of sweet times and places
passed from view that you will share with those you hold dear.
Lasterday, I rode my bike, up and down the hills, at night. In the
dell where I grew up, the stars are bright. I pray that, with all
the help that I can give, and with God's blessings, my children and
grandchildren will ride their own bikes into happy and productive
lives to make cherished memories of Nexterday... that maybe,
Inamminit they will share with those who are most precious.
Social work research has gathered a greater transparency and
clarity of identity in North American and parts of Europe.
Furthermore, the rapid emergence of social work research in other
European countries, China, India, Japan and elsewhere in Asia and
Pacific Rim countries, and gradually in South America, has created
a need for a collection that can contribute to both shaping and
making accessible key and sometimes hard-to-access sources. This
four-volume collection answers this need, bringing together key
literature in a single resource and structuring it into thematic
volumes to enable clear understanding of the different aspects
involved in the research. Volume One: Historical Trajectories,
Purposes and Key Concepts Volume Two: Key Decisions about Research
Strategy Volume Three: The Practice of Social Work Research Volume
Four: The Contexts of Social Work Research
