Are you caring for a loved one with dementia and don't know where to begin? Here are the answers you have been searching for. Jane Hardy writes frankly about the experiences she and her Mum have shared over the past four years, the lessons she's learned, the things she wished she'd known before they started this journey together. Jane's Mum Beth was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimers with a score of 16 (moderate/severe dementia) at the age of 90. Four years later, she has a score of 20+, is enjoying life and her memory and humour are returning! Her GP cannot believe her improvement. She is stronger and healthier, has a positive outlook on life and can read and write again. If you are dealing with a loved one with Dementia, Jane's experiences and strategies will help you avoid the same mistakes that she made! This journey is not for the faint hearted. But focus on what we can be done, rather than what the others say can't be done. For Jane and her Mum, small steps have led to huge strides.

Capitalism is a dynamic system, continually adapting itself to exploit workers in new ways. In Britain today, the gig economy is its newest form, expressed through precarious contracts and the supposed atomisation of workers. In this book, Jane Hardy argues that despite capitalism's best efforts to stop us, we can always find ways to fight it. Through a range of case studies, from cleaners to university lecturers, Hardy looks at how workers are challenging employers' assaults in the neoliberal workplace, comparing these new actions to a long history of British working class struggle. She explores the historic role of migrants in the British workforce, from the Windrush generation to more recent arrivals from the European Union, as well as placing womens' collective action centre stage. Analysing the rise of robotics and artificial intelligence, she refutes claims that we are entering a post-capitalist society. Nothing to Lose but our Chains is an optimistic exploration into the power of the working class, showing that no matter what tools capitalism uses, it can always be resisted.

Poland was central to the historic changes that took place across Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War. It is the largest economy in the region, and was at the forefront of opposition to communism, with the rise of Solidarity in the 1980s. This book explores the way that neoliberal policies have formed the basis of transformation, championed by both post-communist and post-Solidarity governments. Jane Hardy provides a rigorous assessment of the impact of these policies on everyday lives and Poland's place in the European and global economy. These are firmly set in the context of the complex and dynamic political economy of the country. The role of capital in the form of transnational corporations and foreign direct investment is central to the analysis. The revival of trade unions and growth of new social movements are explored as they challenge Poland's new capitalism. No other book studies Poland's recent history in such depth. This book will be a key text for students of political economy, international relations, social movements and labour studies.

Don't judge a book by its cover The front cover of this book shows the tattoo of the male/female symbol on Jane's thigh. Apart from a pleasant appearance, which would not have been out of place in any typical modern suburban community, there was nothing special about Jane Hardy. Fitting in perfectly to the weekly shop, she would be the first to smile at any suggestion that she was a siren or a strumpet. The very thought would be too ludicrous for words. Jane typified middle-class life, its values and its social face. Middle age or New Age-what was it to be? A wife and mother best described as a pillar of the community. How delicately balanced be thy fate. Eight quite ordinary words voiced by Jane's husband would change her life in dramatic fashion. His suggestion was to herald eight years of a life-changing series of experiences that most will view as too challenging to even contemplate. From a staid and strictly monogamous lifestyle, Jane was soon to offer herself to a succession of lovers. This homely housewife and mother would surrender herself to hundreds of men, strangers who could never be more than fleeting sexual encounters. Not only did she indulge in sex jaunts with senior male colleagues at the Civil Service department where she worked, but it was also incredulous that what followed could happen to such a down to earth woman. She and her husband had a threesome with the man who had fixed his tie in the mirror of the boudoir of one of the 20th century's most famous and beautiful woman. There were occasions when the comely mother would cross dangerous lines in which there were no taboos. With each encounter, there were untold risks and dangers. Perhaps the unknown risks were part of the sexual exhilaration. When sex is the drug, there are no barriers, no standards or principles. There is nothing left but to surrender to the basest human urges. That this is a true story is doubtless, that it happened unbelievable, and that she survived it is for the philosophical to ponder upon.
