Grandmotherhood: The Evolutionary Significance of the Second Half of Female Life
ISBN: 9780813571416 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the present time, postmenopausal women represent more than fifteen percent of the world's population and this figure is likely to grow. From an evolutionary perspective, these demographic numbers pose some intriguing questions. Darwinian theory holds that a successful life is measured in terms of reproduction. How is it, then, that a woman's lifespan can greatly exceed her childbearing and childrearing years? Is this phenomenon simply a byproduct of improved standards of living, or do older women-grandmothers in particular-play a measurable role in increasing their family members'...

ISBN: 9780802872166 / Angielski / Miękka / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Is loving later life possible? In our youth-obsessed culture, nobody enjoys growing old. We normally fear our own aging and generally do not love old people -- they remind us that death is inescapable, the body frail, and social status transitory.

De Lange reframes the biblical love command this way: -We must care for the aging other as we care for our own aging selves.- We can encourage positive self-love by embracing life as...
