Gender Talk provides a powerful case for the application of
discursive psychology and conversation analysis to feminism,
guiding the reader through cutting edge debates and providing
valuable evidence of the benefits of fine-grained, discursive
methodologies. In particular, the book concentrates on discourse
and conversation analysis, providing a full account of these
methodologies through the detailed study of data from a variety of
settings, including focus groups, interviews, and naturally
occurring sources. Providing a thorough review of the relevant
literature and recent research, this book demonstrates how
discourse and conversation analysis can be applied to rework
central feminist notions and concepts, ultimately revealing their
full potential and relevance to other disciplines. Each chapter
provides an overview of traditional feminist research and covers
subjects including:
* An acolyte resource for the 21st-century Episcopal Church * Fully illustrated (black-and-white) with reproducible handouts Despite the changing landscape of the Episcopal Church, one ministry that continues but gets little attention is that of acolytes. Whether second graders or adults, the mentoring and training of acolytes is a formational experience. I Serve at God's Altar offers a simplified theology of how God is met in worship and how it affects the lives of those most engaged in it, a visual exploration of the Episcopal liturgy and its history through extensive illustrations, how acolytes fit into the work of the church in worship, and how worship affects the acolyte's discernment for ministry and Rule of Life. Illustrations include a visual exploration of church artifacts (crosses, candles, Eucharistic vessels, etc.), holds, and processes to set a standard of expectation and expertise in service according to Episcopal practice and tradition. There is a section of reproducible handouts for organizing an acolyte ministry at every size church, including scheduling, communications, installation liturgies, recruitment plans, and training outlines.

Current issues in the public health arena have challenged the system to broaden its traditional focus on infectious disease to include chronic disease as well. As this change in emphasis takes place, professionals must be prepared to address the special chronic health concerns of older people living in the community. This textbook meets the training needs of those professionals. Public Health and Aging examines the role of public health in the planning, coordination, and delivery of health promotion and disease prevention services to older people living outside of institutional settings. Here, experts in the areas of health care policy and care of aged persons analyze the scientific basis for the practice of public health in an increasingly aging society. Reviewing a wide range of the social, cultural, financial, and environmental factors that influence the health experiences of older population groups, the authors delve into the epidemiology of age-related chronic illnesses, program development, methodological issues, data collection and analysis, strategies for intervention, and ethics. From outlines for community-based program planning and development to discussions about the future challenges for health care systems and services, this book is an ideal reference for gerontology, public policy, and public health professionals and professionals in training. "Pulling together experts with diverse backgrounds in public health and aging, Public Health and Aging is the first book in nearly ten years to take such a comprehensive public health approach to the evaluation of care for the aging members of our society. The book is a 'who's who' in the field and promises to be a classic textbook in the areas of aging and public health."--Marcia Ory, Ph.D., Chief of the Social Science Research on Aging program at the National Institute on Aging
Als Margarete Schutte-Lihotzky 1956 von ihrer zweiten Chinareise zuruckkehrt, schreibt sie dieses kleine Buch uber die Millionenstadte Chinas. Die Doyenne der osterreichischen Architektur berichtet von den vier grossen, voneinander in ihrer geographischen Lage, Baugeschichte und stadteplanerischen Aufgabenstellung grundverschiedenen Stadten Peking, Nanking, Schanghai und Wuhan. Reich bebildert stellt diese lebendige Erzahlung ein Land im Aufbruch vor, das im Nachwort von Albert Speer durch einen Blick auf das gegenwartige China erganzt wird. "Dieses kleine Buch versteht sich als Beispiel dafur, wie sich Europaer und Asiaten, aus zwei so vollig verschiedenen Welten kommend, auf Grund von fachlichen, wissenschaftlichen und kunstlerischen Auseinandersetzungen naher kommen und voneinander lernen konnen." Schutte-Lihotzky"
Conversation analysts have begun to challenge long-cherished assumptions about the relationship between gender and language, asking new questions about the interactional study of gender and providing fresh insights into the ways it may be studied empirically. Drawing on a lively set of audio- and video-recorded materials of real-life interactions, including domestic telephone calls, children's play, mediation sessions, police-suspect interviews, psychiatric assessments and calls to telephone helplines, this volume is the first to showcase the latest thinking and cutting-edge research of an international group of scholars working on topics at the intersection of gender and conversation analysis. Theoretically, it pushes forward the boundaries of our understanding of the relationship between conversation and gender, charting new and exciting territory. Methodologically, it offers readers a clear, practical understanding of how to analyse gender using conversation analysis, by presenting detailed demonstrations of this method in use.
