When a traffic accident takes the life of Joe Grant and his young daughter Elizabeth, it puts them into a twilight world. Neither dead nor alive, they join a community of thousands of other "souls" who, like them, pass the days trying to understand what has happened to them, and-even more important-what is to become of them. They discover that many people remain trapped in this existence for a long time, but some do "leave". How and why is a mystery. People from every period of human history live in this town without a name. A Pilgrim from the 1600s, frontiersmen and settlers from the nineteenth century, an Indian warrior and a used car salesmen all co-exist together-at times uneasily. Each bides his time, carrying on relationships, building homes, and trying to conduct a normal every-day life under extraordinary circumstances. Joe discovers that this new world, although mimicking the features of the one he left, is very, very different. Although everyone keeps the form they had at the time of their death, they are all physically equal. A frail looking grandmother is just as strong and just as agile as a burly dockworker. Also, even though they are dead, people still suffer and feel pain. They must eat, sleep and seek shelter from the elements. Normal emotions like love and happiness exist but are muted. Only those who have a connection to someone alive, like Joe has with his wife Sally, can experience snippets of real emotion, real life. But this comes at a price. As long as he is still connected to Sally she can never put his death behind her and move on with her own life. As he goes through this world Joe meets Edrey Sikes, a woman from the late 1800s. He is introduced to her friend Amanda Scabbard who died in childbirth at age sixteen, Amanda's husband Will who died in his fifties, and their son Edmund, eighty, who live together again as a family. He also meets Ezra Potts, a cantankerous old hermit who thinks he has "figured a way out." In a world without machines, Ezra has managed to build a functioning airplane. If only he can get it to work right, he believes he will fulfill his personal destiny and "transition" to a better life. Ezra is partially right. This world is a place where people go who haven't learned all they needed to know in life, or done all the things they needed to do when they were alive to earn the right to eternal happiness. Some of these people are basically good, others tend toward evil, and this world is their second chance. If the good become complacent, or the evil succumb to the temptation to "feel" again by giving into base human passions, they are lost forever. Figuring this out is only the first challenge. Without truly understanding the connection Joe, Ezra and Edrey are all called upon to make individual sacrifices to help their fellow man. Some of those who have given up all hope decide to terrorize the town, feeding off the intense emotions their agony produces. Although able to flee Joe, Ezra and Edrey return to fight against all odds to save their friends who are imprisoned by these "lost souls". This is what critics have said about Phillip Ellis Jackson's novels(www.scifi-jackson.com)"These novels are among the best stories we have read for some time-offeringa great mix between science, technology and life-like characters." "If anyone is looking for a good read for sunning at the beach, or for along flight, it will definitely keep you engrossed and entertained, rightdown to the last page." "What happens within the book's technological framework is alwaysintriguing. The chess-like developments of the plot itself are alsocomfortably paced, and indeed such elements click into place throughout." "Even the minor characters generally rise to three dimensions and have mixedmotivations and even mixed loyalties." "A fascinating sci-fi thriller that will keep you turning the pages-cover tocover."

Social Protection in Africa

sidottu
This timely book makes accessible to a broad audience the ideas, principles and practicalities of establishing effective social protection in Africa. It focuses on the major shift in strategy for tackling hunger and vulnerability, from emergency responses mainly in the form of food transfers to predictable cash transfers to the chronically poorest social groups. The first part of the book comprises nine theme chapters, covering vulnerability, targeting, delivery, coordination, cost-effectiveness, market impacts, and asset effects, while the second part consists of fifteen social protection case studies. The continuous interplay between these two parts makes for a unique contribution to the contemporary literature on social protection. The book takes a positive and forward looking view regarding the feasibility of achieving successful social transfers to the poorest in Africa; nevertheless, a critical stance is taken where appropriate, and unresolved strategic issues regarding the targeting, coverage and scale of social transfers are highlighted.Social Protection in Africa is an essential read for personnel, advisors and consultants working for aid donors, United Nations agencies, NGOs and governments on social transfer programmes in sub-Saharan African countries. In addition, the book represents a valuable resource for training courses on social protection, and will be vital reading for Masters level students and researchers studying emergency relief, social protection, vulnerability and poverty reduction in low-income countries.

The implicit/ explicit distinction is central to our understanding of the nature of L2 acquisition. This book begins with an account of how this distinction applies to L2 learning, knowledge and instruction. It then reports a series of studies describing the development of a battery of tests providing relatively discrete measurements of L2 explicit/ implicit knowledge. These tests were then utilized to examine a number of key issues in SLA - the learning difficulty of different grammatical structures, the role of L2 implicit/ explicit knowledge in language proficiency, the relationship between learning experiences and learners’ language knowledge profiles, the metalinguistic knowledge of teacher trainees and the effects of different types of form-focused instruction on L2 acquisition. The book concludes with a consideration of how the tests can be further developed and applied in the study of L2 acquisition.

Machiavellis observation om ledarskapets svåra balansgång är lika relevant i vår tid, som den en gång var i 1500-talets Florens. Kinas framväxt, Rysslands attack mot Ukraina och den växande politiska och ekonomiska närvaron i den globala södern har aktualiserat frågan om vikten av kompetent ledarskap inom politiskt styre. Denna antologi utforskar utmaningarna för ledarskap och statskonst i en allt mer komplex värld och ställer frågan huruvida vi kan skapa politiska eliter som är kapabla att på ett säkert vis vägleda väst genom de många prövningar vi står inför. Genom att se till vårt förflutna såväl som till vår samtid undersöker världsledande forskare och skribenter hur ledarskapsidéer har utvecklats genom historien för att ge oss en större förståelse för statskonsten och för vilka färdigheter och organisationer som krävs för att driva små stater, stora imperier och allt däremellan. Boken finns även i engelsk utgåva.

Historien, mänsklighetens samlade erfarenheter, lär oss om nuet och framtiden. Hur är det möjligt att titta på händelser i det förflutna och med hjälp av dem lösa samtidens politiska eller ekonomiska förhållanden och konflikter? Essäerna i denna antologi härrör från Engelsbergsseminariet 2019 där dessa frågor diskuterades. Ur bland annat idéhistoriskt och evolutionspsykologiskt perspektiv tillämpar skribenterna historien på nutida företeelser som internationella relationer, geopolitik och nationalekonomi, individens roll och den mänskliga naturen. Kanske är det bara genom att tillämpa historien som vi hittar vägen framåt?

Det påstås att ungefär 14 500 krig har utkämpats sedan år 3 500 f.Kr. Mänskligheten har bara erfarit 300 år av fred på jorden. Under 1900-talet dödades fler människor i krig än något tidigare sekel. Relativt sett dödar vi dock varandra mer sällan. Håller vi gradvis på att bli mer fredliga? Oavsett hur många som dödas, och med vilken metod, kan vi vara säkra på att krig kommer att fortsätta utkämpas. Ligger orsakerna till krig i samhället eller i biologin, i tävlan om ekonomiska resurser eller sexuella, i historiska omständigheter eller i en universell våldsinstinkt? Allt sedan antiken fram till dagens terrorism har krig varit förstörare och skapare av stater och civilisationer. Essäerna i denna antologi har sitt ursprung i det internationellt välrenommerade Engelsbergsseminariet 2015 och är skrivna av historiker, journalister, tänkare, forskare och författare från hela världen. Huvudredaktörer är Kurt Almqvist och Alexander Linklater.

Soziale Arbeit Mit Menschen Mit Demenz: Grundwissen Und Handlungsorientierung Fur Die Praxis
H. Elisabeth Philipp-Metzen
Kohlhammer
2015
nidottu
Vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels gewinnt die Soziale Altenarbeit an Bedeutung. Eine besondere Herausforderung bildet in der Praxis die wachsende Zahl von Menschen mit Demenz. Neben den klassischen Aufgaben wie Beratung und Entlastung pflegender Angehoriger entstehen fur dieses Praxisfeld ganz neue Tatigkeitsbereiche wie Forderung von Freiwilligenengagement, Netzwerkarbeit im familiaren System oder die Ermoglichung sozialer Teilhabe. Das Buch bereitet das Grundwissen sowohl fur die Bachelor- und Master-Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit, aber auch fur die Weiter- und Fortbildung von Praktikern kompakt auf. Uber die Vermittlung von Theorie, Konzepten und Methoden hinaus ist die Darstellung mit vielen Praxisbeispielen und engem Praxisbezug vor allem handlungsorientiert.

Die Enkelgeneration im ambulanten Pflegesetting bei Demenz

Vs Verlag Fur Sozialwissenschaften
2008
nidottu
Die familiale Versorgung eines demenziell erkrankten Menschen ist eine Aufgabe mit hohem Anforderungspotenzial. Bislang wurden Forschungs- und Interventionsschwerpunkte hierzu auf die hauptverantwortlichen Familienmitglieder der älteren und mittleren Generation gelegt. H. Elisabeth Philipp-Metzen richtet das Augenmerk daher auf die dritte, die Enkelgeneration. Fallanalysen von fünfzehn heute erwachsenen Enkelkindern beschreiben sowohl die Unterstützungsressourcen als auch die Belastungsphänomene im Kontext von Sorgeleistungen für demenzkranke Großeltern. Die Befunde verdeutlichen einerseits die Potenziale familialer Solidarität, andererseits aber auch die Notwendigkeit von Interventionen zur Belastungsminderung, welche die Autorin auf der Basis von Leitlinien für generationengerechte häusliche Pflegearrangements herleitet. Dieses Buch ist ein Plädoyer für eine generationenfreundlichere Gestaltung von Angehörigenpflege bei einer Demenzerkrankung, denn ohne flankierende Maßnahmen ist der Einbezug von Enkelkindern gesellschaftskritisch zu hinterfragen.
