Описание: If a tyrannical government made laws - punishable by immediate death - that threatened the lives of your family, would you come up with a way around them? A way that risked your life?One man, my father's father, did both. The Sweetest Thing is the true story he starred in, but if you had met him, you'd never be able to tell that. As you know, really tough people are modest. In the 1920's, the Reds in Russia made laws to starve thousands of their own citizens. Deliberately. So my grandfather found a way to obtain enough flour so that his family would not starve for one particular winter. The Sweetest Thing tells of that way, and of what happened, and I think you'll find it inspiring. The bonus stories small slices-of-life involving our hero, and other members of his family, going back three generations from me. Five, from my grandnephew Ezra. And again, no one bragging - just life.

Описание: Are you facing challenging care decisions for a family member? Is it time to find Assisted Living, Memory Care, or at home caregiving for a loved one? To be faced with an aging parent, spouse, or sibling who needs help is like being in a foreign country where one does not speak the language. Inspired by the author's personal experience of finding her normally sharp consumer skills compromised during an emotionally challenging time, this book is chock full of what you need to consider when navigating the waters of this critical transition. What does assisted living really mean? How much will it cost as your loved one declines? What are the parameters for medication management? What do caregivers do and what is not in their scope of practice? How are caregivers trained? How will you know if your loved one's needs are changing? How will the staff know when a resident needs help if she or he cannot communicate verbally or remember how to use an emergency call button? These are just a few of the more than 200 questions in this book, divided into categories about care, staff, emergency procedures, services, dietary concerns, accommodations and costs, activities, transportation, family communication and more. Armed with answers to these questions, which you will ask when you visit a facility, at the very least you can manage your own expectations, from the beginning and then as things change. There is so much you cannot control -- give yourself this one important advantage by efficiently gathering the information you need.

Автор: Baskin Jeremy Название: Geoengineering, the Anthropocene and the End of Nature ISBN: 3030173585 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030173586 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 46570.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
This book takes a critical look at solar geoengineering as an acceptable means for addressing climate change. Baskin explores the assumptions and imaginaries which animate ‘engineering the climate’ and discusses why this climate solution is so controversial. The book explains geoengineering’s past, its revival in the mid-2000s, and its future prospects including its shadow presence in the Paris climate accord. The main focus however is on dissecting solar geoengineering today – its rationales, underpinning knowledge, relationship to power, and the stance towards nature which accompanies it. Baskin explores three competing imaginaries associated with geoengineering: an Imperial imaginary, an oppositional Un-Natural imaginary, and a conspiratorial Chemtrail imaginary. He seeks to explain why solar geoengineering has struggled to gain approval and why resistance to it persists, despite the support of several powerful actors. He provocatively suggests that reconceptualising our present as the Anthropocene might unwittingly facilitate the normalisation of geoengineering by providing a sustaining socio-technical imaginary. This book is essential reading for those interested in climate policy, political ecology, and science & technology studies.
