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.
