This book broadens the visioning on new care environments that are
designed to be inclusive, progressive, and convergent with the
needs of an aging population. The contents cover a range of
long-term care (LTC) settings in a single collection to address the
needs of a wide audience. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic,
rethinking the spatial design of care facilities in order to
prepare for future respiratory and contagious pathogens is one of
the prime concerns across the globe, along with social
connectedness and autonomy in care settings. This book contributes
to the next generation of knowledge and understanding of the
growing field of the design of technology, programs, and
environments for LTC that are more effective in infection
prevention and control as well as social connectedness. To address
these issues, the chapters are organized in four sections: Part I:
Home- and community-based care; Part II: Facility-based care; Part
III: Memory care and end-of-life care; and Part IV: Evidence-based
applied projects and next steps. (Re)designing the Continuum of
Care for Older Adults: The Future of Long-Term Care Settings is an
essential resource for researchers, practitioners, educators,
policymakers, and students associated with LTC home and healthcare
settings. With diverse topics in theory, substantive issues, and
methods, the contributions from notable researchers and scholars
cover a range of innovative programming, environments, and
technologies which can impact the changing needs and support for
older adults and their families across the continuum of care.
Advances in audiovisual technology, most notably the advent of the
popular usage of digital technology in the last few years, have
altered the face of popular television. Thanks to cable, satellite
and now digital technology, television broadcasts can reach an
international audience. The reaction from cultural critics has been
mixed. As the debate concerning the effects of new
telecommunications and audiovisual technology continues unabated,
this book examines the underlying hypothesis that collective
allegiances are moving away from the national paradigm towards the
global/local model and provides a balanced appraisal of the
depiction of a select number of group identities on television in
Britain and France.
There is increasing interest in young people's participation in the
design and delivery of health services. But young people's views
are not consistently sought or acknowledged, and they are still
often marginalised in healthcare encounters. Drawing on original
research and a diverse range of practice examples, Brady explores
the potential for inclusive and diverse approaches to young
people's participation in health services from the perspectives of
young people, health professionals and other practitioners. She
presents a practical new framework, embedded in children's rights,
that shows how young people's participation can be integrated into
services in ways that are meaningful, effective and sustainable.
In this dark, genre-defying picture-book adaptation of Snow White,
acclaimed artist Beatrice Alemagna tells the story from the point
of view of the jealous stepmother queen, to complicate the question
of goodness and set into high relief the shadow side, with its
capacity for evil, of human life.Once upon a time, a child was born
with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black
as ebony: the princess Snow White. She is possessed of beauty and
innocence, but there in the shadows lurks a queen who will remarry
her widower father, a queen who is as empty and envious, as
narcissistic and fractured as is every life that gets stuck in the
endless reflecting pool or mirror of the self. Void of love, it is
hatred that animates her. But like all true fairy tales, this story
doesn't ask us to judge and condemn the queen and her hatred, but
rather to consider the kinds of behaviors and situations that
invite evil, and where true innocence or goodness might lie.
Following the first-person account of the queen, this picture book
for older readers illuminates her blinding obsession and insatiable
jealousy, right up to the point of her violent undoing.This large
format picture book is made up of a repeating pattern of text and
image: each double spread of text is followed by four striking
full-spread paintings, which are as riveting as they are
unsettling. A bold adaptation of the Grimm's original text, this
version of Snow White brilliantly puts us all in touch with the
messy, shadowed, fraught, and fragile inwardness we each possess.
This is the second book to appear under Unruly, an imprint of
picture books for older readers, and will include an author's note
and a short note to readers about how it continues to build this
experimental framework of visually complex, sophisticated picture
books for teens and adults.

With lush art by NYT Best Illustrated recipient Violeta Lopiz, a
picture book about a boy and his larger-than-life immigrant
grandfather, who shares with him the kind of learning that's not
taught in classrooms. At six years old, the child-narrator of this
picture book loves nothing more than spending time with his
grandpa, Luis-especially in his marvelous garden, where green beans
reach as high as the sky. Luis's garden is where the little boy
practices reading and writing. But just as importantly, it's also
where he learns wonderful things from Luis, like the names of all
the birds in the trees and new expressions that are so much fun to
say. Luis's playful vocabulary is as vibrant and full of life as
his garden, and phrases that are particular to his way of talking,
like "at the drop of a cat" (which means right away), are soon
adapted into the little boy's lexicon, too. A talented cook,
artist, and gardener, Luis has much wisdom to impart and many
experiences to share with his grandson-even though, as a war
refugee, he never went to school himself and never learned to read
and write. A loving testament to the intergenerational transmission
of knowledge and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world,
illustrated with evocative, multilayered art by Violeta Lopiz.
