Health and Cognition in Old Age
In recent years, the aim of research on aging has shifted from prolonging life to fostering healthy and cognitively robust old age. In order to improve the quality of life of older people, we need to better understand cognitive aging as well as bodily aging. Health and Cognition in Old Age assembles the cream of research across varied medical, mental health, and social disciplines, and demonstrates how this knowledge can lead to improved outcomes for older people. The first half of this expert volume discusses biomedical and life course factors in aging, particularly as they affect cognition and well-being in later life. From there, effective solutions are the focus: interventions and care p...
Transitioning to Good Health and Well-Being
Transitioning to Good Health and Well-Being addresses critical issues of health in the context of sustainability, which need to be tackled in order to achieve Agenda 2030. Acknowledging the dramatic improvements that have been made in the past decades with regards to health, we also face disparities that remain amongst and within countries. While life expectancy has more than doubled, we are, at the same time, confronted with the challenges that come along with population growth alongside environmental change, migration, ageing, and economic disparities. In its 2018 progress report concerning SDG 3, the UN stated that, while the quality of global health is increasing, “people are still suf...

Der biologische Unternehmer
Wir schreiben über einen altbekannten Zusammenhang, jedoch in einer neuen Sichtweise. Der biologische Unternehmer ist unsere Konstruktion. Wir beschreiben das Alltägliche. Der biologische ist der Unternehmer seines Körpers. Er ist Eigentümer seines Körpers. Er gestaltet, irritiert, manipuliert, steuert seinen Körper, fügt ihm Schaden zu, macht ihm Ärger, erfreut ihn. Alles ist in seiner Hand. Er ist Investor in seine Gesundheit. Er kann seinen Körper (noch) nicht neukombinieren. Er ist persönlich verantwortlich für ihn. Er hat sogar sein Altern, den Abbau seiner Funktionstüchtigkeit, unter Kontrolle, in Grenzen. Diese Grenzen gilt es zu erkunden und unternehmerisch zu gestalten.

Young People, Wellbeing and Sustainable Arctic Communities
Youth are usually not (yet) decision makers in politics or in business corporations, but the sustainability of Arctic settlements depends on whether or not youth envision such places as offering opportunities for a good future. This is the first multidisciplinary volume presenting original research on Arctic youth. This edited book presents the results of two research projects on youth wellbeing and senses of place in the Arctic region. The contributions are united by their focus on agency. Rather than seeing youth as vulnerable and possible victims of decisions by others, they illustrate the diverse avenues that youth pursue to achieve a good life in the Arctic. The contributions also show ...
