Book Synopsis Ageing in Everyday Life by : Katz, Stephen
Download or read book Ageing in Everyday Life written by Katz, Stephen and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying interdisciplinary perspectives about everyday life to vital issues in the lives of older people, this book maps together the often taken-for-granted aspects of what it means to age in an ageist society. Part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, the two parts address the materialities and the embodiments of everyday life respectively. Topics covered include household possessions, public and private spaces, older drivers, media representations, dementia care, health-tracking, dress and sexuality. This focus on micro-sociological conditions allows us to rethink key questions which have shaped debates in the social aspects of ageing. International contributions, including from the UK, USA, Sweden and Canada, provide a critical guide to inform thinking and planning our ageing futures.
Download or read book Fat Chance written by Aviva Orenstein and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confident at work but clueless at love, Claire is 40 and overweight—not a recipe she imagines can solve the romance gap. Dealing with her father’s death and an angry teen doesn’t make it easier. Finding no help from her ex, who is distracted by remarriage to a much younger woman, Claire copes by relying on a faithful circle of friends, a wicked sense of humor, and a new interest in fitness. When Claire meets Rob, a beguiling, slightly pudgy man at the gym, there is an instant connection. Just maybe she can haul the composure she finds at work into the gym with her. Or is it fat chance for that? ~ ~ ~ “A funny, moving portrait of a small-town Jewish community and the people who inhabit it, including a single mom coping with loss, a teen, and modern love. You’ll be rooting for Orenstein’s characters—especially her witty, lovably self-deprecating heroine—the whole way through.” — Jennifer Richler, author of essays appearing in The New York Times, Slate, Salon, and The Atlantic “Fat Chance is an evocative journey that sharpens our contact with what it means to be human. And it is a hilariously loving yet unflinching portrait of a woman imprisoned by the body she thinks isolates her from love and—maybe more important—sex. Orenstein is like a magician pulling pennies from the air, infusing the haunting with laughter, the seeming inescapability with hope, and in the end offers the surprising and poignant gift of a special kind of joy.” — Michael Adams, author of Blind Man’s Bluff and Anniversaries in the Blood

Download or read book The Focus Model written by B.R. Jones and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With school improvement initiatives, quality trumps quantity every time. Today, a vast array of techniques, plans and initiatives purport to improve student performance. But a "shotgun" approach—trying many strategies at once without the deep focus they need to succeed—always falls short. The Focus Model solves this growing problem with a method for carefully implementing research informed initiatives proven to work and getting the most out of them, detailing: From Standards to Learning Intentions—Defining with clarity the skills your students most need now Criteria for Success—Defining with clarity what it will mean for students to have mastered skills Critical formative analysis of students — Taking formative assessment to a systemic level of implementation Impact-Professional Learning Communities (I-PLCs)—Collaborating with colleagues so that the focus is learning for both students and the adults With The Focus Model, your school and system will benefit from the truth that less is more in planning for improvement. "Here′s a first-synthesis of today′s best suggestions about how we can make school improvement a reality instead of a hope. A seasoned, perceptive author has assembled an excellent collection of school-improvement tactics that are demonstrable winners." —W. James Popham, Emeritus Professor UCLA "If the US implements the Common Core Curriculum it will require a constructive alignment between the standards, the teaching, and the assessment. Jones highlights these latter two critical parts of schooling in a way that not only makes the alignment constructive, but he increases the probability of acceleration in student learning." —John Hattie, Director Melbourne Education Research Institute Victoria, Australia

Book Synopsis Idioms through Time and Technology by : Iulian Mardar
Download or read book Idioms through Time and Technology written by Iulian Mardar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This game-changing, reader-friendly book provides a more precise definition of idioms, along with new classifications of them. It eliminates fixed phrases such as phrasal verbs, collocations, slang, and proverbs from the class of idioms, while including two major new categories: similidioms and irony-based idiom sentences (IBISes). As a matter of fact, similidioms (basically, idioms in the form of a simile) have been there probably since the beginning of our history as being capable of speaking, but they have not been revealed, until now. Starting from the observation that the production of idioms in any language is influenced by the technological advance of society, the book takes two of the most productive lexico-semantic categories of idioms in both English and Romanian—crazy and stupid idioms—and provides, for the first time, their classification according to their topic and pattern, in an intriguing contrastive approach. Well-documented and not lacking a subtle sense of humour, the book not only opens new perspectives for researchers in the field, but will also captivate the general reader interested in finding out more about the expressions they use every day.
