Justice Without Violence
A mixture of theoretical analysis and case studies from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, this book examines non-violent direct action, political action, economic sanctions and social movements as alternative remedies in the struggle for justice. The authors thus address the basic questions that underlie current debates in international politics over the use of preventive diplomacy, humanitarian intervention and international enforcement action.
A Journey into the Human Experience of Incurable Disease
Incurable disease is a natural phenomenon, inherent to the human condition. This book critically investigates the uniquely human experience of and response to illness and treatment, which affects the body, the mind, and the very core of human existence and identity. Uncertainties regarding the outcomes of laboratory and other investigations that aid in the diagnosis and assessment of disease exacerbate the apprehension inherent to the diagnosis of incurable disease. An excessively scientific approach may disregard the suffering patient. The book begins by analysing the nature, meaning and significance of hope in the context of disease, and goes on to reflect on the language of medicine and t...
Twilight People
David Houze was twenty-six and living in a single room occupancy hotel in Atlanta when he discovered that three little girls in an old photo he'd seen years earlier were actually his sisters. The girls had been left behind in South Africa when Houze and his mother fled the country in 1966, at the height of apartheid, to start a new life in Meridian, Mississippi, with Houze's American father. This revelation triggers a journey of self-discovery and reconnection that ranges from the shores of South Africa to the dirt roads of Mississippi—and back. Gripping, vivid, and poignant, this deeply personal narrative uses the unraveling mystery of Houze's family and his quest for identity as a prism through which to view the tumultuous events of the civil rights movement in Mississippi and the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa. Twilight People is a stirring memoir that grapples with issues of family, love, abandonment, and ultimately, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is also a spellbinding detective story—steeped in racial politics and the troubled history of two continents—of one man's search for the truth behind the enigmas of his, and his mother's, lives.

Sociological, Psychological and Physiological Aspects of Aging
This book systematically investigates successful aging, defined as the ability to actively participate in societal activity. Proceeding from historical insights and a wide frame of reference, it explores the development of contemporary conceptions of aging; the sociological, psychological, and physiological process of aging; age-related discrimination; financial aspects of aging; the apparent contradiction that there are both affluence and increasing poverty in the aging population; inappropriate sexual expression in the aged; the notion of the Third Age; and the quest to extend human lifespan. A thorough literature review, the author’s personal experience as an older person and as a medical doctor spanning five decades, and the author’s knowledge of ethics have contributed to this informative text aimed at a wide audience: healthcare professionals, caregivers, therapists, ethicists, and every person attending to older persons, professionally and privately.
