There are not many books that address the boundaries of care of
older people from a work-life perspective. This book, authored by
contributors from various countries, looks at the boundaries of
care by looking at private and public help, professional and
personal help and paid and unpaid caregivers. It captures and
conceptualizes the complexity of the intersection of work and home
life as it relates to the provision of assistance and support to
older relatives in a variety of "care work" contexts. It explores
these issues within a critical framework, rather than from an
assumed stress or burden perspective, which dominates current texts
on the topic. Readers of this volume will gain a deeper
understanding of issues of care provision amongst "networks" of
careers and helpers, and of the particular dynamics of care when it
is episodic or framed by constrains of space and time as a result
of geography. In addition, each chapter addresses issues of
diversity with sensitivity to gender, race and ethnicity. This book
will be of use to academics and graduate students in Gerontology,
Family Studies, IO psychology, Gender Studies and Sociology.
Shows the relationship of ethics and historiography over time and
in different cultural settings, and so helps readers to appreciate
the different ways in which historians have thought about how the
world ought to be and helps readers to appreciate how the
boundaries between ethical theories can be fuzzy. Written for those
new to, or with little familiarity with historiography, so makes
very complex questions easy to understand. Introduces readers to
both well-known and lesser-appreciated historians and ethical
theorists, ensuring they have a variety of case studies upon which
to draw in their own work.

Vladimir Nabokov, one of the 20th century's greatest novelists, is
particularly remembered for his masterwork Lolita. This critical
work examines the enduring themes of Lolita and places the novel in

manifestations, the central problem of time in the book, and memory
as it is explored in fictional memoir or, in this case, the central
protagonist's "confession."

The author of The Big F is back with another snappy, utterly relatable contemporary novel about loving yourself and forging your own path.
Savannah is dreading being home alone with her overbearing mother after her big sister―and best friend―goes off to college. But if she can just get through senior year, she'll be able to escape to college, too. What she doesn't count on is that her mother's obsession with weight has only grown deeper since her appearance on an extreme weight-loss show, and now Savvy's mom is pressuring her even harder to be constantly mindful of what she eats.
Between her mom's diet-helicoptering, missing her sister, and worrying about her collegiate future, Savvy has enough to worry about. And then she meets George, the cute new kid at school who has insecurities of his own. As Savvy and George grow closer, they help each other discover how to live in the moment and enjoy the here and now before it disappears.
To Be Honest is another sharp, witty novel from Maggie Ann Martin, about a spunky heroine who is dealing with very real issues―body image, parental pressure, loneliness, first love, and finding your way―with heart and humor.
