When Love Meets Dementia
Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) is now recognized as one of the most common forms of dementia in individuals under age 65, second only to Alzheimer's. Shedding light on a little known brain disease, this volume examines FTD from a few angles, beginning with the author's insightful memoir of her husband's struggle with FTD and its impact on their family. Detailed background information on the disease is provided along with discussion of related issues, and information on how to minimize the chances of becoming a victim.
Do Not Forsake Me
Four factors are rapidly converging into a “silver tsunami” that will soon challenge every aspect of American society: 1) the increasing number of people living with dementias; 2) the mounting number of people providing dementia care, whether they want to or not; 3) the spiraling healthcare costs of dementia care; and 4) the lack of geriatricians to provide medical care and oversight. The way dementia care is currently provided is simply not sustainable. Congregations and other community groups must on the one hand find ways to support those providing dementia care, and on the other hand become involved in long-term efforts to make such care reliable, reasonable, and affordable so that those with dementia will not be forsaken.

It will feature original photography and personal essays by men and women – some from the public arena with names you know, some from everyday America – sharing their personal struggles with the disease as patients, caregivers and family members.
“Top” a Proud Marine
Corporal Collins then heard enemy fire, and it sounded pretty close. Both of the injured men were on stretchers with ropes attached to the medic aircraft, so the rescue party quickly hoisted them aboard. The enemy fire was nearing, so the medic rescue jet had to take off quickly. Since Corporal Collins was not aboard yethe was still in the waterthe crew promised him that they would return for him. The above is just one paragraph from the many riveting story lines that tell the biography of Master Gunnery Sergeant Willie L. Collins, affectionately known as Top by his crew. This is a story about an American family who happens to be African American, and it is spellbinding, interesting, and a feel-good story that needs to be told.

Shared Responsibility, Shared Risk
The collapse of the financial markets in 2008 and the resulting 'Great Recession' merely accelerated an already worrisome trend: the shift away from an employer-based social welfare system in the United States. Since the end of World War II, a substantial percentage of the costs of social provision--most notably, unemployment insurance and health insurance--has been borne by employers rather than the state. The US has long been unique among advanced economies in this regard, but in recent years, its social contract has become so frayed that is fast becoming unrecognizable. Despite Obama's election, the burdens of social provision are falling increasingly upon individual families, and the sit...
