This volume and its companion, The new dynamics of ageing volume 1, provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary overviews of the very latest research on ageing. Together they report the outcomes of the most concerted investigation ever undertaken into both the influence shaping the changing nature of ageing and its consequences for individuals and society. This book concentrates on four major themes: autonomy and independence in later life, biology and ageing, food and nutrition and representation of old age. Each chapter provides a state of the art topic summary as well as reporting the essential research findings from New Dynamics of Ageing research projects. There is a strong emphasis on the practical implications of ageing and how evidence-based policies, practices and new products can produce individual and societal benefits.

Delirium in Old Age (Hardcover, Twenty-Eighth): James Lindesay, Kenneth Rockwood, Alastair Macdonald Delirium in Old Age (Hardcover, Twenty-Eighth)

Delirium is a cognitive disorder consisting of deficits of attention, arousal, consciousness, memory, orientation, perception, speech and language. It represents the most frequent complication of hospitalisation in the older population. Despite its importance in terms of clinical, economic and social considerations, and despite considerable advances in the past decade, it remains a relatively misunderstood and mis-diagnosed condition.

This book provides a state-of-the-art update of delirium research, covering its history, conceptualisation, measurement, epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment, diagnosis, causes, prevention and management. The final chapter takes a look to the future, highlighting the importance of ongoing interdisciplinary research.

As well as being important as a clinical syndrome in its own right, the study of delirium provides a valuable opportunity to understand brain functioning at a fundamental level, and as it is a preventable condition, it is also now being used as a marker to measure the quality of hospital care provided for older people.

This volume will serve as a catalyst to revive interest and progress in delirium research and clinical care, and should be read by psychiatrists, neurologists, geriatricians and all those involved in working with the elderly in hospitals or in the community.

As the homelessness among ex-service personnel topped 100,000, groups began to splinter off into armed militia. These people had not only the will to cause mayhem but had been highly trained by the very armed forces who had subsequently abandoned them. The treatment on the streets of one of his ex platoon members caused Steve Raines to snap. But Raines did not snap in an obvious outward way, he snapped inside. All his Navy training came to the fore, he was planning a campaign, and he would execute it perfectly.

R533 Discovery Miles 5 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A mysterious vessel dubbed 'The Ark' was found lurking at the edge of the solar system. A team of scientists from all over the world was gathered by NASA to figure out what this Ark was, and who had sent it. The Ark rested in orbit of Earth and the empty vessel became populated with a team led by Doctor Alex Pullman and General Arnold J. Bernstein III. It was supposed to be a routine exploration mission to learn about the capabilities of The Ark, but when the powerful craft leaves Earth's orbit and crawls back through the Solar System, panic sets in. On the Ark, tension reigns as a battle for leadership between Alex and the General distracts everyone from their duties of cracking the mystery of the Ark. But intrepid scientists push themselves to their limits, facing their fears in this race against time to understand who sent them on this journey and, more importantly, where it's leading them.
