"Perspectives on Later Life" looks at interdependency, social
living, family conflict, social isolation and social networks, and
loss and grieving. Issues of staff training, support and morale are
covered in some depth. .".. exposes the inadequacy of training and
support to staff based on outdated material reflecting out-dated
attitudes ... The emphasis on the primacy of individual experience
gives the book a particular relevance in the customer-oriented
world of community care with its focus on individual user need,
choice and advocacy rights.Community Care Contents: New

This volume represents the written account of the NATO Advanced
Study Institute "Lower-Dimensional Systems and Molecular
Electronics" held at Hotel Spetses, Spetses Island, Greece from 12
June to 23 June 1989. The goal of the Institute was to demonstrate
the breadth of chemical and physical knowledge that has been
acquired in the last 20 years in inorganic and organic crystals,
polymers, and thin films, which exhibit phenomena of reduced
dimensionality. The interest in these systems started in the late
1960's with lower-dimensional inorganic conductors, in the early
1970's with quasi-one-dimensional crystalline organic conductors.
which by 1979 led to the first organic superconductors, and, in
1977, to the fITSt conducting polymers. The study of monolayer
films (Langmuir-Blodgett films) had progressed since the 1930's,
but reached a great upsurge in . the early 1980's. The pursuit of
non-linear optical phenomena became increasingly popular in the
early 1980's, as the attention turned from inorganic crystals to
organic films and polymers. And in the last few years the term
"moleculw' electronics" has gained ever-increasing acceptance,
although it is used in several contexts. We now have organic
superconductors with critical temperatures in excess of 10 K,
conducting polymers that are soluble and processable, and used
commercially; we have films of a few monolayers that have high
in-plane electrical conductivity, and polymers that show great
promise in photonics; we even have a few devices that function
almost at the molecular level.
