AARP Meditations for Caregivers

Practical, Emotional, and Spiritual Support for You and Your Family

By: Barry J. Jacobs,Julia L. Mayer

An AARP book for caregivers combining day-to-day advice and uplifting guidance in a daily meditations format. Family care giving has its challenges: emotional overload, time constraints, anxiety, burnout, missed work, adult sibling conflicts, and marital issues. AARP Meditations for Caregivers blends emotional and spiritual motivation to minimize the strains while helping caregivers view their work as a mission from the heart. Chapters are organized by theme, including topics such as accepting your feelings, knowing your limits, seeking support, and managing stress. Each reading offers a poignant meditation, an anecdote drawn from the author's personal or clinical experience, and hands-on or psychological advice to foster coping skills and a sense of fulfillment. The meditations in this dispensable book will provide you with solutions to typical care giving challenges, offer relief and renewal through mindfulness, and inspire you to find meaning and value in the work you do. /DIV

Bird versus Bulldozer

A Quarter-Century Conservation Battle in a Biodiversity Hotspot

By: Christa Dierksheide

An examination of the struggle to conserve biodiversity in urban regions, told through the story of the threatened coastal California gnatcatcher “A well-written and thoroughly researched book. . . . Provides a detailed examination of the struggle to conserve biodiversity in urban areas.”—Susan Catherine Cork, Conservation Biology The story of the threatened coastal California gnatcatcher is a parable for understanding the larger ongoing struggle to conserve biodiversity in regions confronted with intensifying urban development. Because this gnatcatcher depends on vanishing coastal sage scrub in Southern California, it has been regarded as a flagship species for biodiversity protection since the early 1990s. But the uncertainty of the gnatcatcher’s taxonomic classification—and whether it can be counted as a “listable unit” under the Endangered Species Act—has provoked contentious debate among activists, scientists, urban developers, and policy makers. Synthesizing insights from ecology, environmental history, public policy analysis, and urban planning as she tracks these debates over the course of the past twenty-five years, Audrey L. Mayer presents an ultimately optimistic take on the importance of much-neglected regional conservation planning strategies to create sustainable urban landscapes that benefit humans and wildlife alike.

Sphere of Power: Chronicles of the Chosen, Book 1

By: Shanon L. Mayer

Morgan Lafayette thinks that being the new kid in Denver Heights is tough - until she learns that the fate of a world she never knew existed lies in her hands. Morgan is one of the Chosen, an intermediary between the world of humans and the world of the magical fey and someone is targeting the fey for destruction. As one of the few who can travel between the two worlds, it's up to Morgan to find out who's behind the attacks and thwart their evil scheme. Morgan is assisted in her quest by the fey creatures Tilson and Askel who guide her search for the culprit as they travel from a volcanic dragon's lair to the bone-chilling arctic and a partially excavated ancient Egyptian pyramid. They face baffling puzzles, danger at every turn, and menacing guardians at every step as they come closer to the truth, a truth that's more shocking than Morgan could ever imagine.

Repairers of the Breach

Memoirs of a Missionary, Nagasaki, Japan 1948-1951

By: Margery L. Mayer

Much has been accomplished to repair the breach between Americans and Japanese since World War II. Margery Mayer and her Kwassui students did their part in postwar Nagasaki. They had many discussions about Christianity and democracy as well as the growing nationalism and militarism of the United States. This is the story of their life together -- the Japanese students and the American missionary, the impact they had on each other, and the bonding that took place as they worked toward a new world of peace.

Deficit Reduction

Spending and Revenue Options

By: Julian L. Mayer,Alexander D. Lehner

The choices facing the 112th Congress come at a time when the federal government's debt has increased dramatically in the past few years and when large annual budget deficits are projected to continue indefinitely under current laws or policies. Beyond the coming decade, the aging of the U.S. population and rising health care costs will put increasing pressure on the budget. If federal debt continues to expand faster than the economy, as it has since 2007, the growth of people's income will slow, the share of federal spending devoted to paying interest on the debt will rise more quickly, and the risk of a fiscal crisis will increase. This book examines options that would reduce projected budget deficits covering an array of policy areas from defense to energy, to entitlement programs, to provisions of the tax code.
