Suggests that a reconceptualized communitarian social ethic may be
the best source for developing strategies to traverse the dialectic
of diversity and unity in the interactions of co-dependent
individuals and societies in the new international system. Looks at
democratization and complex interdependence; culture, economics,

organizational culture; the organic model of the Japanese
organizational paradigm; the communitarian paradigm; and global

Here is an invaluable resource for activities professionals
specializing in geriatrics. Activities in Action reflects the goals
of the National Association of Activity Professionals in that it
serves as a catalyst for professional and personal growth and
provides a national forum on geriatric and activity issues. Some of
the highlights of this significant volume include a historical
perspective of the activities profession, its growth and current
contributions to the life and care of nursing home residents, and
an overview of a national organization representing activities
professional and how this organization has contributed to the
growth of the profession. An extensive aging and leisure
bibliography of timely publications related to activities and aging
is also included.Specific chapters emphasize a variety of topics
such as the impact of federally mandated nursing home resident
assessment for activity professionals; the growing concern for the

coordinator. Activities directors, coordinators, assistants, and
supervisors from all levels of experience will benefit from the
insightful information in this innovative book.
This highly practical volume presents valuable insights for all
professionals who provide activities for the impaired elderly. It
will serve as a helpful resource for both those who work directly
with the aged in institutional settings, as well for those who
train activities counselors.Therapeutic Activities With the
Impaired Elderly addresses a number of pertinent issues and
provides useful information on designing and implementing

This volume highlights various techniques used to study multiple
aspects of mGlu receptor function. Chapters in this book cover
topics such as modern approaches for the development and screening
of allosteric modulators; fluctuations in intracellular calcium
induced by mGlu receptor activation; dopamine-glutamate
interactions in the central nervous system; methods for assessing
mGlu receptor localization; and common techniques for evaluating
mGlu modulation in behavior in rodents, including stress and
alcohol drinking. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters
include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists
needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge
and practical, Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Technologies
provides researchers with a starting point to address important
questions regarding mGlu and its importance. Researchers working in
the fields of neuroscience and physiology of multiple peripheral
systems will find this volume most useful.

From Viagra to in vitro fertilization, new technologies are rapidly
changing the global face of reproductive health. They are far from
neutral: religious, cultural, social, and legal contexts condition
their global transfer. The way a society interprets and adopts (or
rejects) a new technology reveals a great deal about the
relationship between bodies and the body politic. Reproductive
health technologies are often particularly controversial because of
their potential to reconfigure kinship relationships, sexual mores,
gender roles, and the way life is conceptualized. This collection
of original ethnographic research spans the region from Morocco and
Tunisia to Israel and Iran and covers a wide range of technologies,
including emergency contraception, medication abortion, gamete
donation, hymenoplasty, erectile dysfunction, and gender
transformation.
