Trailblazing women working in digital arts media and education
established the Midwest as an international center for the artistic
and digital revolution in the 1980s and beyond. Foundational events
at the University of Illinois and the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago created an authentic, community-driven atmosphere of
creative expression, innovation, and interdisciplinary
collaboration that crossed gender lines and introduced artistically
informed approaches to advanced research. Interweaving historical
research with interviews and full-color illustrations, New Media
Futures captures the spirit and contributions of twenty-two women
working within emergent media as diverse as digital games, virtual
reality, medicine, supercomputing visualization, and browser-based
art. The editors and contributors give voice as creators integral
to the development of these new media and place their works at the
forefront of social change and artistic inquiry. What emerges is
the dramatic story of how these Midwestern explorations in the
digital arts produced a web of fascinating relationships. These
fruitful collaborations helped usher in the digital age that
propelled social media. Contributors: Carolina Cruz-Niera, Colleen
Bushell, Nan Goggin, Mary Rasmussen, Dana Plepys, Maxine Brown,
Martyl Langsdorf, Joan Truckenbrod, Barbara Sykes, Abina Manning,
Annette Barbier, Margaret Dolinsky, Tiffany Holmes, Claudia Hart,
Brenda Laurel, Copper Giloth, Jane Veeder, Sally Rosenthal, Lucy
Petrovic, Donna J. Cox, Ellen Sandor, and Janine Fron.

How do you treat an illness that destroys life without taking it?
What can be done to restore the control and dignity which are so
quickly eroded by such an insidious condition? In her powerhouse
book, Reshaping Dementia Care, Aronson elicits all the subtleties
of treatment and response needed to counter this complex disease.
Lending the volume a multidisciplinary perspective, the wide
variety of contributors reveal a wealth of information regarding
not only innovative approaches, but specific alternative programs
as well. From the critical elements of needs assessment to the
functional requirements of program evaluation, this work offers a
comprehensive analysis of both the illness and its protocol
options. Pragmatic concerns including legal and ethical
considerations, reimbursement, staff training, and rising costs are
also explored. Nurses, social workers, administrators, physicians,
program directors, and therapists are among those who will find
this book critical to increasing their understanding and
implementing vital changes in their philosophy and treatment.
"Unlike most books on dementia, this is pleasant, informative and
refreshing reading, which should be high on your holiday book
list." --Generations Review
