Exploring European changes in religious and secular beliefs and
practices related to life passages, this book provides a deeper
understanding of the impacts of social change on personal identity
and adjustment across the life course, According to latest
research, Europeans who consider religious services appropriate to
mark life passages significantly outnumber those who declare
themselves as believers. Drawing on fascinating oral histories of
older people's memories in both Eastern and Western Europe, this
book presents illuminating views on peoples' quests for existential
meaning in later life. Ageing, Ritual and Social Change presents an
invaluable resource for all those exploring issues of ageing,
including those looking from perspectives of sociology and
psychology of religion, social and oral history and East-Central
European studies.
Cognitive Analytic Therapy and Later Life highlights that any
attempt to work psychotherapeutically with older people must take
into account the effects of working within a context of
institutional ageism. It explores the specialist skills required
when working with older people, covering: * the delayed effects of
early trauma * narcissism and the re-emergence of borderline traits
and dissociative states * the emergence of treatment resistant
depression and anxiety * the use of the cognitive analytic therapy
model to challenge the child centred paradigm of psychoanalytic
theory. Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists,
nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists alike will find
this an illuminating and thought provoking book.

Shopping centers have become the most common of shopping
environments and have influenced the make-up of cities around the
world. However, in recent years, the enclosed "mall" has evolved
and diversified with new types of retail environments that were
developed to better suit their locale and meet public expectation.
This design guide has over 600 illustrations that present the core
values and considerations that make a successful retail center:
location, catchment user needs, as well as access and layout.
Covering everything from site master planning to the essentials of
public facilities and the technical systems, this is essential
reading for architects of contemporary shopping centers. A series
of international examples showcasing different types of shopping
environments are included to cover the wide range of designs that
have occurred in recent years. From the "out of town" mall to
retail parks and mixed use town center developments, the best of
contemporary design is illustrated to provide both practical
information and inspiration.
In 1813 George Walton joined the Rifle Brigade at a recruiting
party outside St Philip's Church in Birmingham and subsequently
kept a journal of his daily life throughout the years of his army
service until 1839 when he retired. George's narrative gives us a
fascinating ism insight into the life of an ordinary soldier of
that time as he served on the front line before becoming a
schoolmaster sergeant, travelling all over the UK and Ireland. What
is particularly remarkable is George's eyewitness description of
the Battle of Waterloo from the perspective of a soldier involved
in the fighting who lived to tell the tale! Later chapters explain
what became of George after his military service, including the
astonishing matrimonial scandal in which he was the injured party.
With British armed forces, including George's beloved Rifles, still
putting their lives at risk on active service, George's family feel
that he would be happy that this record of his experiences could in
a small way help today's servicemen and women. Therefore royalties
from this, publication will be donated to charities and
organisations which support our armed forces.
One in every twenty difficult conflicts ends up grinding to a halt.
That's fully 5 percent of not just the diplomatic and political
clashes we read about in the newspaper, but disputations and
arguments from our everyday lives as well. Once we get pulled into
these self-perpetuating conflicts it is nearly impossible to
escape. The 5 percent rule us.
So what can we do when we find ourselves ensnared? According to
Dr. Peter T. Coleman, the solution is in seeing our conflict anew.
Applying lessons from complexity theory to examples from both
American domestic politics and international diplomacy--from
abortion debates to the enmity between Israelis and
Palestinians--Coleman provides innovative new strategies for
dealing with intractable disputes. A timely, paradigm-shifting look
at conflict, "The Five Percent" is an invaluable guide to
preventing even the most fractious negotiations from
foundering.
`There cannot be another more attractive and refreshingly appealing
title of the book that beautifully symbolizes the tremendous power
inherent in the collaboration of school, family and child' -
Sushila Singhal, Journal of Educational Planning and Administration
In this accessible book, the author demonstrates that school
improvement must start with a reconsideration of school effects
upon the home, and home effects upon the school. The students'
school experience must acknowledge the daily influence of the
family in the classroom. To ignore this `hidden link' is to remain
ignorant about students' lives and motivations, and makes it very
difficult for educators to improve schools and schooling. Based on
extensive research, Parent, Student and Teacher Collaboration
provides invaluable guidance and insight.
