Every woman who reaches middle age faces the menopause, but many do so with only the minimal amount of information - as well as a lot of myths. Are we condemned to have the same kind of menopause as our mothers did? Is it always a grim experience? Do we have to put on weight? Will our sex lives be effectively over? In this accessible, clear and straightforward guide, Catherine Francis explains what the menopause is, how it may affect you, and what to do if it does. From diet to exercise, conventional medicine to alternative remedies, First Steps through the Menopause is a short but comprehensive introduction to this important stage in a woman's life.
This book is a genealogical record of some of the pioneer families who settled in the Mabou and District area of Cape Breton. In addition to genealogies of Mabou families, the book also offers biographical sketches of prominent ecclesiastics, a history of the Parish of Mabou, and a brief reflection on the compiling of genealogies. Mabou Pioneers is an indispensible reference to the genealogy of this remarkable Cape Breton community.

Imagine, a girl's world crashes in the blink of an eye, and no one sees it coming. Everything falls into place for high school junior Cat Morgan: perfect grades, three best friends, and of course, track dreams about to happen. But on November 7th, 2007, Cat's life collapses with a brain aneurysm and a coma lasting seven days. When she wakes up, Cat discovers more adjustments than she bargained for, physically and mentally. Not only is Cat's world changing, everyone around her changes too. Mary, the uptight, strict mother, turns into the protector. Rose, the naïve, childish sister, becomes the role of the mature sibling. And Ellie, the distant, shunned friend, must choose to let Cat back into her life or not. Once she returns to school, Cat feels invisible and the center of attention at the same time. Despite this, Cat tries to reconnect with her friends, her studies, and of course, her sprinting dreams. Cat wants, needs, for her life to go back to normal. But can it?
In recent years there has been a weight of evidence suggesting that engagement has a significantly positive impact on productivity, performance and organisational advocacy, as well as individual wellbeing, and a significantly negative impact on intent to quit and absenteeism from the work place. This comprehensive new book is unique as it brings together, for the first time, psychological and critical HRM perspectives on engagement as well as their practical application. Employee Engagement in Theory and Practice will familiarise readers with the concepts and core themes that have been explored in research and their application in a business context via a set of carefully chosen and highly relevant original and case studies, some of which are co-authored by invited practitioners. Written in an accessible manner, this book will be essential reading for scholars in the field, students studying at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as practitioners interested in finding out more about the theoretical underpinnings of engagement alongside its practical application.
