Book Synopsis Childfree by Choice by : Dr. Amy Blackstone
Download or read book Childfree by Choice written by Dr. Amy Blackstone and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Dr. Amy Blackstone, childfree woman, co-creator of the blog we're {not} having a baby, and nationally recognized expert on the childfree choice, comes a definitive investigation into the history and current growing movement of adults choosing to forgo parenthood: what it means for our society, economy, environment, perceived gender roles, and legacies, and how understanding and supporting all types of families can lead to positive outcomes for parents, non-parents, and children alike. As a childfree woman, Dr. Amy Blackstone is no stranger to a wide range of negative responses when she informs people she doesn't have--nor does she want--kids: confused looks, patronizing quips, thinly veiled pity, even outright scorn and condemnation. But she is not alone in opting out when it comes to children. More people than ever are choosing to forgo parenthood, and openly discussing a choice that's still often perceived as taboo. Yet this choice, and its effects personally and culturally, are still often misunderstood. Amy Blackstone, a professor of sociology, has been studying the childfree choice since 2008, a choice she and her husband had already confidently and happily made. Using her own and others' research as well as her personal experience, Blackstone delves into the childfree movement from its conception to today, exploring gender, race, sexual orientation, politics, environmentalism, and feminism, as she strips away the misconceptions surrounding non-parents and reveals the still radical notion that support of the childfree can lead to better lives and societies for all.

Book Synopsis Guide For Promoting Independence by : Augustus Fouts
Download or read book Guide For Promoting Independence written by Augustus Fouts and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You're thinking about how to provide the best care possible for a loved one. I applaud you for caring enough to be concerned: your loved one is already in a better position than many others because of you. Additional care beyond what someone can provide for his or herself, could be needed for many reasons. The stereotype is that of a frail elderly person who is simply unable to provide appropriate self-care, but there are other scenarios that warrant searching out additional care. If someone has an illness or injury, that person could potentially require short or long-term assistance in order to live a fulfilled life. Disability, whether congenital or due to some sort of trauma, could also make additional care desirable. This book will let you know about Promoting Independent Self Care. It will help people remain in the home rather than be admitted to an out of home placement.

Book Synopsis Welfare and well-being by : Jordan, Bill
Download or read book Welfare and well-being written by Jordan, Bill and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2008-09-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on well-being reveals the significance of personal relationships, trust and participation to sustain quality of life, yet it is the economic model that remains the dominant basis for political and social institutions and policy. In this original book, Bill Jordan presents a new analysis of well-being in terms of social value, and outlines how it could be incorporated into public policy decisions. He argues that the grandiose attempt to maximise welfare and regulate social relations through contract, in line with the economic theory of information and incentives, is counterproductive for well-being. Instead, both the quality of personal experience and the restraints necessary for a convivial collective life would be better served by a focus on cultures and institutions. This book will be an essential text for academics and students in social theory, social welfare, public policy and governance. Bill Jordan is Professor of Social Policy at Plymouth and Huddersfield Universities. He has held visiting chairs in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Slovakia and Hungary. He worked for 20 years in the UK social services, and is the author of 25 books on social policy, social theory, politics and social work.
