Understanding the Grief and Loss Experiences of Carers
This book draws on recent research and cutting-edge ideas about bereavement and carers’ experiences across the life course to explore carers’ experience of loss and discuss their specific needs prior and or following the death of those they care for. Whether care provided is related to a long term or life limiting condition, many carers experience a multitude of losses including indefinite loss characterised by the loss of a taken-for-granted future, and an inability to plan for the future. Carers may also experience anticipatory grief as multiple losses such as companionship, personal freedom, and control manifest. While many carers are dedicated and committed to their role, they are su...
The Interdisciplinary Handbook of Perceptual Control Theory, Volume II
Given the fundamental challenges to society in this era, a radical rewrite of how we approach science and culture is necessary. This handbook applies Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to achieve a much needed convergence across the physical, life and social sciences, the humanities and arts. In doing so it addresses challenges such as mental illness, dementia, cancer care, toxic masculinity and societal oppression. It also reveals how PCT can be applied to practical issues such as understanding healthcare service implementation and human-machine interaction, as well as deeper questions such as consciousness and imagination. This second volume of the successful interdisciplinary handbook offers...

The Dynamics of Dementia Communication
"This book asks why that is. What is it about communication, as a human social and cognitive practice, that makes it so difficult to manage the disruptions caused by dementia? Why is it so common to feel awkward, confused or irritated when talking with a person living with a dementia? Why is the experience of living with a dementia so personally and socially devastating? What approaches to communication would work best, and why?"--

Military Operations from Kosovo to Kabul
In this highly unusual role for a lawyer, the author found himself in 1998 having to learn on his feet at a frightening pace as the newly promoted senior legal advisor to the charismatic General Sir Mike Jackson, the commander who led the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps into strife-torn Kosovo the following year to restore some sort of normality in the aftermath of the NATO bombing campaign. A peace deal was finally signed, only for Russia to intervene at the eleventh hour. The author was asked to provide rules of engagement for NATO to eject a stubborn Russian unit from Pristina by force, amongst fears of starting World War III, one of the few occasions when he thought perhaps civilian legal pr...
Introducing Quantum Theory
Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. Introducing Quantum Theory takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr's "Copenhagen Interpretation" - the famous "dead and alive cat" and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved.
About Face
"This is the enormously moving, intimate saga of a gay man, James E. Kennedy - a former captain and lawyer in the Army's Judge Advocate General Corps - who found himself in the hypocritical position of having to prosecute and discharge gay, lesbian, and bisexual soldiers. For four years he led a monklike secret life in the Army until he could no longer live with the Army's double standard toward gays. The son of a Colonel, he resigned his commission and abandoned his career as an Army officer. Joining the Clinton Transition Team, he used his legal training and Army law experience to help draft an executive order for President Clinton that would change the discriminatory policy that had cost him his career."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Scotland Yard′s brightest talent is chosen to head up the high-profile taskforce: Jack Hawksworth is a DCI who must confront his own past as the body count rises.
