Instead of driving me crazy, I learned that it was less expensive and more rewarding than assisted living and/or nursing homes for me and my mother, even after hiring caregivers, companions, and drivers to...

That is the message of 'Reboot ' While American culture glamorizes the "Golden Years" of endless leisure and amusement, Phil Burgess rejects retirement, as he makes the case for returning to work in the post-career years, a time he calls later life.

The Symbolism of Globalization, Development, and Aging
ISBN: 9781461445074 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As globalization transforms our daily lives, it is also shaping our lives -- and our identities -- in the long term. For many older people, this includes becoming alienated from themselves and pessimistic about a future that expects them to decline and decay like products with a shelf-life. The Symbolism of Globalization, Development, and Aging sets out a provocative case for more socially conscious approaches to aging. Rather than merely critiquing the emerging youth-oriented global culture, the book reveals and refutes the assumptions that fuel global market ideals and stereotype the...

Cognitive and Behavioral Performance Factors in Atypical Aging
ISBN: 9781461389491 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is a truism that as we age there are a number of underlying physiological changes conspiring to alter our level of behavioral and cognitive function ing. Despite the inherent interrelatedness of these behavioral and cognitive changes, all too often the papers we read confine themselves to specific, isolated components of the developing process. Although exceptions nat urally exist, we believe that these exceptions should become rule. Although an integrated approach is important in all areas of adult devel opment, it is perhaps particularly germane in the study of atypical aging. Here,...

The Aging Experience: Planning Tools and Glossary
ISBN: 9781478249979 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Aging Experience is the phase of our life that tends to get the least attention, in terms of planning and forethought. We research and plan where we will go to college, where we will live, our career opportunities, our retirement. Even our estates are planned, through wills, trusts and advance health care directives. What we do not usually plan very well -- or even understand fully -- is the aging experience we will encounter.
