foreword by Betty Dodson, Naked at Our Age candidly addresses
senior sexuality in all its colours,the challenges,
disappointments, and surprises, as well as the delights and the
love stories. Naked at Our Age gives people over fifty a voice to
tell stories of their past and present sex lives, ask questions,
and get straightforward advice and information from experts. No
topic is off-limits.In Naked at Our Age , women and men,coupled and
single, straight and gay,talk candidly about how their sex lives
and relationships have changed with age, and about how they see
themselves, their partners, or their single life. Many are having
unsatisfying sex, or no sex at all, and are seeking advice. Price
presents their personal stories, and follows up with tips from sex
therapists, health professionals, counselors, sex educators, and
other knowledgeable experts. Named "Outstanding self-help Book" of
2012 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and winner

"Better Than I Ever Expected is a warm, witty, and honest book that
contends with the challenges and celebrates the delights of
older-life sexuality. It asserts that women over sixty are at the
top of their game when it comes to enjoying sex.
Joan Price's woman-to-woman straight talk transcends the self-help
style of other books in this field. Yes, there are challenges to
sex after menopause and beyond, says Price, but there are also
creative solutions. She is on a mission to let women her age and
older know that they can, in fact, have the best sex of their
lives. Price gets personal and stays positive, combining her own
story with candid comments, tips, and sassy tales from sexually
seasoned women. She acknowledges the gritty issues that older women
confront in their sexual lives, noting that it's not easy, but it
certainly isn't over.
At age 61, Price is newly engaged to the man she's been looking for
her whole life. Her discovery of how great "well-seasoned" sex can
be was the inspiration for this book. Sidebars present candid and
friendly sex tips; fitness, exercise, and lifestyle information;
and women's erotic vignettes -- both real-life experiences and
fantasies.

The population over age fifty is larger than ever in our history.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 32.1 percent of the U.S.
population were age fifty and over in 2011. This demographic is
also healthier, more aware, more youthful, and more vocal than any
previous older generation. Thanks to ongoing medical discoveries,
the Sexual Revolution, and the Internet, today's seniors are also
sexier than ever--or at least, they're now willing to talk and ask
about sex as never before. They are the generation that discovered
clitoral orgasms, vibrators, and Viagra, and there's no stopping
the thirst for knowledge and pleasure now. And this generation
reads and buys books.
Since 2005, Joan Price penned "Better Than I Ever Expected:
Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty," and emerged as the go-to
sexpert for the the over-fifty population. Price's savvy advice,
honesty helpfulness and humor garnered awareness in the media, in
professional circles of therapists and sex educators, and among the
huge population of people over fifty who hunger for real
information from an age appropriate author. Price tackles it all in
this definitive guide to sex and aging: health, fun (and function,
) disability, dating, illness, orgasms, G Spots, P Spots,
polyamory, kink, and much more.
From the introduction:
"I bring the understanding of what our modern, over-fifty
population wants in information about sex and aging. I bring the
experience, attitude, warmth, and humor of a media-savvy,
sixty-nine-year-old woman who is living and loving in an aging body
and is willing to talk out loud about it. "
The study of nature is a complex science involving many different
fields from geology and meteorology to biology, zoology, and
botany. This complexity indicates nature's broad scope of impact.
It is at once beautiful and dangerous, displaying power beyond
human control. An understanding of the basic principles and
concepts of the study of nature is therefore both enriching and
practical. In The Handbook of Nature, authors Frank R. Spellman and
Joni Price-Bayer provide a comprehensive guide to the study of
nature in terms the layperson can grasp easily. This accessible
reference work is for the non-specialist looking for quick,
accurate information on all aspects of the study of nature. The
handbook is arranged thematically for a logical and user-friendly
progression through the material. It includes chapters on the
earth's structure and landforms, the atmosphere and weather, water
and water sources, and the many different forms of life from
single-celled organisms to complex vertebrates. Along with basic
natural scientific principles, the authors look closely at the
consequences of human interactions with the environment we inhabit.
This reference concludes with a glossary and index, and each
chapter provides further resources and recommended reading. It is
an essential tool for students and professionals alike.

In an era when many in the science community feel that science is
under attack, In Defense of Science explains why ordinary citizens
need to have an understanding of science, its methods, and its
groundbreaking discoveries. The authors debunk several
misconceptions of science and scientists, and advocate that science
is an integral part of society and everyday life. This book begins
with an introduction to science and its basic concepts, including a
brief and entertaining history of science and scientific
discoveries, before taking on current views of science in society.
It surveys the many sources of our ideas of science, including pop
culture, classics of literature, news media, and political
discourse. Much of the information from these sources tends to
mislead, and the only way to guard against such misinformation is
to become scientifically literate, and promote scientific literacy
in society. The book therefore delves into the reasons that so many
people do not understand basic scientific principles and do not
keep up with scientific breakthroughs, and finishes by examining
the current state of science education. It includes many resources
for further reading, and is presented in an engaging and
entertaining way.
Today, only a few people outside of the scientific community are
conversant with the tradition of science and its many
breakthroughs. The rest are scientifically illiterate. So say Frank

This book starts by laying out the dozens of specific tasks that
waterworks operators must know, both to do their job and to achieve
certification. After a review of basic math, the volume explains
the fundamentals of how water is pumped, stored, and treated and
provides the formulas and calculations for monitoring and
controlling water flow in multiple plant operations. The book goes
into the practical execution of every unit of operation in water
treatment from intake to distribution, including: screening,
mixing, coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, biosolids removal,
filtration, disinfection, and distribution. At every stage, special
attention is paid to chemical and other data that operators require
to carry out processes and testing, as well as maintain
infrastructure. In addition to dozens of worked problems, each
chapter includes a review test containing questions similar to
those on licensure exams. In one down-to-earth and clearly written
source, this book gives readers the vocabulary, the math, the
applied chemistry, and the operational know-how to deliver clean,
safe water for distribution and at the same time to advance in his
or her career. Features of the book include: Key information for
water treatment operator certification and licensure, relevant data
and questions for passing tests in all US states, explanations of
basic math and chemistry in terms of what operators do on a daily
basis, step-by-step coverage of unit operations, Reviews important
material on water sources, watersheds, EPA regulations, contaminant
removal, safety, and more.
During the 1970s and 1980s policymaking in the complex area of
regulatory legislation of the health disciplines became both
increasingly important and increasingly difficult for the Canadian
provinces. In this comparative study Joan Boase traces the
evolution of relationships among governments and health care
interest groups in four provinces - Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia,
and Alberta - and finds that, although they have faced similar
problems, they have responded in different ways. She employs
several theoretical approaches to explain these different
responses, including community/policy networks, institutionalism,
and state traditions, and uses case studies to illustrate the
intense interest group activity that has occurred in this sector.
Boase reaches three conclusions: (1) with the development of a
national health insurance plan there has been a shift in the
actions of government from reliance on interest group liberalism
towards concerted efforts to plan the structure of the welfare
system; (2) the different systems of interest intermediation that
evolved in the provinces reflected the underlying political and
administrative culture and institutional structures within the
provinces; and (3) the unique proactive approach taken by Ontario
in the 1980s was a deliberate effort to modify the institutional
arrangements through which groups had traditionally influenced
policy. Boase suggests that the complexities of modern government
and the move towards redistributive politics will lead the state to
make extraordinary efforts to control its environment in the
future. Shifting Sands will be of particular interest to health
care specialists, policy-makers, and legislators as well as
activists.
