R2,044 Discovery Miles 20 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Psychology of Aging: Contemporary Research provides students with engaging scholarly articles that dismantle stereotypes commonly associated with aging and demonstrate the possibilities for active participation in later life. The carefully chosen readings expose students to stories of gains, losses, joys, disappointments, and love. The book emphasizes the powerful effect of positivity on health and well-being and shows how a sense of control and empowerment can improve the lives of aging individuals. The anthology is divided into three distinct sections. In Section I, Diversity and Stereotypes of Older Adults, students learn about ageism, how it intersects with sexism, and disparities in the health care system for aging minorities. Section II, The Opportunities of Aging, features readings that discuss the transition from career to retirement, the creative arts and their relation to brain health in later life, financial competence in aging populations, and more. In the final section, Challenges and Changes, students read about family caregiving, depression in elder individuals, accommodating loss, and end-of-life preparation. Collected to provide students with a fresh perspective regarding aging, The Psychology of Aging is an ideal resource for courses in psychology and gerontology.

In a stunning work of insight and hope, New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb once again reveals his unmatched talent for finding humanity in the lost and lonely and celebrates the transforming power of the written word.

For several years, Lamb has taught writing to a group of women prisoners at York Correctional Institution in Connecticut. In this unforgettable collection, the women of York describe in their own words how they were imprisoned by abuse, rejection, and their own self-destructive impulses long before they entered the criminal justice system. Yet these are powerful stories of hope and healing, told by writers who have left victimhood behind.

In his moving introduction, Lamb describes the incredible journey of expression and self-awareness the women took through their writing and shares how they challenged him as a teacher and as a fellow author. Couldn't Keep It to Myself is a true testament to the process of finding oneself and working toward a better day.

Health research around the world relies on access to data, and much of the most valuable, reliable, and comprehensive data collections are held by governments. These collections, which contain data on whole populations, are a powerful tool in the hands of researchers, especially when they are linked and analyzed, and can help to address "wicked problems" in health and emerging global threats such as COVID-19. At the same time, these data collections contain sensitive information that must only be used in ways that respect the values, interests, and rights of individuals and their communities. Sharing Linked Data for Health Research provides a template for allowing research access to government data collections in a regulatory environment designed to build social license while supporting the research enterprise.

"Philadelphia" is a patchwork of the political and economic changes dating back to 1683. Having been re-created repeatedly, each era of the city's development includes elements of the past. In this book, the authors describe the city's evolution into a post-industrial metropolis of old communities and newly expended neighborhoods, in which remnants of 19th-century industries can be seen in today's residential areas. This book explores a wide range of issues impacting upon Philadelphia's post-industrial economy trends in housing and homelessness, the business community, job distribution, a disintegrating political structure, and increased racial, class, and neighborhood conflict. The authors examine the growth of the service sector, the disparity in the city's urban renewal program that has enriched center city but left most neighborhoods in need, and they evaluate the realistic prospects for regional solutions to some of the problems facing Philadelphia and its suburbs. Author note: Carolyn Adams teaches in the Geography and Urban Studies Department at Temple University. David Bartelt teaches at the Institute for Public Policy Studies at Temple University. David Elesh is Professor of Sociology, Temple University. Ira Goldstein teaches at the Institute for Public Policy Studies, Temple University.
