Little children and their grown-ups can poke their fingers through
the holes to become the trunks of Big Elephant and Baby Elephant
and tell a simple story. Baby Elephant learns to reach for leaves,
suck up and squirt water, then takes a walk through the grassland
before joining the rest of the family at the end of the day for a
big elephant cuddle.
There are not many books that address the boundaries of care of
older people from a work-life perspective. This book, authored by
contributors from various countries, looks at the boundaries of
care by looking at private and public help, professional and
personal help and paid and unpaid caregivers. It captures and
conceptualizes the complexity of the intersection of work and home
life as it relates to the provision of assistance and support to
older relatives in a variety of "care work" contexts. It explores
these issues within a critical framework, rather than from an
assumed stress or burden perspective, which dominates current texts
on the topic. Readers of this volume will gain a deeper
understanding of issues of care provision amongst "networks" of
careers and helpers, and of the particular dynamics of care when it
is episodic or framed by constrains of space and time as a result
of geography. In addition, each chapter addresses issues of
diversity with sensitivity to gender, race and ethnicity. This book
will be of use to academics and graduate students in Gerontology,
Family Studies, IO psychology, Gender Studies and Sociology.

A provocative, accessible, and cleverly illustrated guide to legal
principles and practice, by a law instructor and internationally
experienced attorney
This might be the most useful book law students ever read. Not because
it contains the details of case law, but because it teaches them how to
think like a lawyer. From the fundamentals of effective argument to the
principles, structures, and assumptions underlying our legal system,
101 Things I Learned in Law School makes the impenetrable clear and the
complex understandable. Illustrated lessons summarize landmark cases
and illuminate a fascinating range of questions, including:
* What is the difference between honesty and truthfulness?
* Why is circumstantial evidence often better than direct evidence?
* How does one find the proper sources to substantiate a legal argument?
* Why do states deliberately pass unconstitutional laws?
* How can testimony from a hostile witness be helpful?
Written by an internationally experienced attorney and law instructor,
101 Things I Learned in Law School is a concise, highly readable
resource for law students, graduates, professionals, and anyone else
fascinated--or confused--by our legal system.

Happenings are very much still happening - more than enough reason
to launch a sequel to our first event-themed title. In the age of
social media, the event is becoming a mass-marketing campaign that
targets a global audience. And its reach is far greater if it's
both memorable and photogenic. Happening 2 covers over 60 stunning
spectacles - from fashion shows to festivals and exhibitions to
exclusive product launches - that leave lasting impressions. Events
offer designers the perfect testing ground; they are ideal
opportunities to experiment with spatial perception and sensory
experiences. Happening 2 travels the globe to cover memorable
moments by the likes of Bureau Betak, Bompas & Parr, MVRDV,
Snarkitecture and TeamLab, revealing how the designers translated
their concepts from page to platform. The event industry
monumentalizes the fleeting, and Happening 2 does the same.
