The Old Man
Old men – especially those who live alone – remain an understudied group in the gerontological literature, despite their significance to the demographic development. Among the elderly, the proportion of old men living alone is rapidly rising. This book is an anthology of different perspectives on The Old Man. It contains a personal account of becoming an old man, treats ideas about the old man throughout Western cultural history, and presents the first studies on the very old man. It also discusses a wide variety of topics – including alcohol as a prism for male aging; the old man and sexuality, digitization, and masculinities; and the single old man as lonely or just living alone – paying much-needed attention to this long overlooked group. The contributing researchers come from disciplines as different as psychology, philosophy, theology, anthropology, health, and gender studies.
The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Bioethics
This bioethics handbook offers concise, up-to-date, and easy to read chapters on a broad range of bioethical topics in the following categories: foundational concepts, theory and method, healthcare ethics, research ethics, public health, technology, and the environment. The volume provides a snapshot of current bioethics, taking into account current affairs and emerging new topics. Each chapter acknowledges and critically breaks down the historical developments of the subject and the most authoritative existing literature on respective topics, providing accessible and up-to-date philosophical analysis. As such, the chapters are designed to be attractive as primary or supplementary teaching material for university classes of the philosophical or bioethical variety, with clear demarcations and indicators for key terms, ideas, and arguments that should also facilitate productive note-taking and points for critical discussion for students. The handbook also serves as a one-stop starting resource for multi- and interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners who engage with bioethics in their work.

Lithology, Mineralogy, and Geochemistry of Glacial Sediments Overlying Kimberlite at Smeaton, Saskatchewan
The investigation summarized in this report was designed as a case study regarding the frequency & chemistry of kimberlite indicator minerals in Pleistocene glacial sediments from a kimberlite field and a vertical profile of data that could be compared to surface till data. The study site was located near Smeaton in central Saskatchewan underlain by Lower Cretaceous sedimentary rocks interbedded with extrusive kimberlitic debris. Cores were obtained from the upper part of the Cretaceous sequence and from the overlying Quaternary sequence, and laboratory studies were carried out on the core lithology, matrix carbonate content, mineralogy, and geochemistry. Results are presented regarding sediment unit descriptions, bulk mineralogy of sediment-derived concentrates, kimberlite indicator minerals, visible gold, geochemistry, and borehole logging. The provenance of the sedimentary sequences is discussed along with the implications for diamond exploration.
Alkohol - en del af dansk kultur på godt og ondt
I Danmark er vin, øl og spiritus let tilgængeligt, da vi har en liberal alkoholpolitik i forhold til hvem, der kan købe det, hvor det kan købes, og hvornår det kan købes. Vi forbinder ofte alkohol med nydelse, hygge og socialt samvær, og det lovlige rusmiddel knytter os sammen på tværs af generationer og samfundslag. Men alkohol har samtidig sundhedsmæssige og sociale konsekvenser, og denne dobbelthed medfører en række dilemmaer. Unge kan føle sig udenfor fællesskabet, hvis de ikke drikker; samværet omkring alkohol kan være opslidende for personer i udsatte grupper; eller personale på plejehjem kan komme i vanskelige etiske situationer, hvis en beboer drikker meget og agerer...
