Life's Little Emergencies

A Handbook for Active Independent Seniors and Caregivers

By: Rod Brouhard

Written in plain English with a touch of humor (the best medicine) Life's Little Emergencies, A Handbook for Active Independent Seniors and Caregivers is a medical crisis handbook for active independent seniors and caregivers alike. The first section of the book covers techniques and conditions common to senior citizens: skin tears, fractures, and dehydration to name just a few. It discusses life-saving techniques like CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. The first aid information is backed up by research and twenty plus years experience of actual care by someone who still treats real victims first hand. However, Life's Little Emergencies, A Handbook for Active Independent Seniors and Caregivers is much more than just a first aid book. The remaining sections discuss learning life-saving skills, how to assess and treat an injury, when you feel sick, the great outdoors and much more. It's a manual for planning and making serious medical decisions and for getting help when seniors need it most - at home or on the road. It includes ways to "call 911" even in other countries where 911 is a different number entirely. Life's Little Emergencies, A Handbook for Active Independent Seniors and Caregivers guides the reader through anything from a minor cut to a major stroke. There are do-it-yourself first aid tips as well as ways to be prepared for an emergency, advice on when to reach out for help, and how to take care of oneself. Full of practical, clear, and easy-to-understand advice, this resource ensures that every household with an older person is prepared for any medical emergency from cuts to cardiac arrest. Special Features of Life's Little Emergencies include: Step-by-step instructions take the reader through life-saving and first aid skills Illustrated throughout with steps steps illustrated as appropriate Sidebars throughout the text provide additional information Each chapter includes a source list for individuals who want more information on the tips and advice in the book

DIY Hints & Tips

By: Rod Baker

DIY Hints and Tips is a book that no one should be without. For both the seasoned handyman and those who have no flair for things DIY, this book will be a very useful source of information when tackling everyday chores around the home and garden, such as removing mildew in the bathroom, replacing a broken windowpane or making a temporary pipe repair. The aim of the book is to provide sufficient information to get you started with simple DIY tasks and to encourage you to do little jobs in the home without having to call in and pay exorbitant prices for an expert’s advice and services. Much of doing it yourself is simply being able to think around corners a little, so the hints and tips are designed to make things somewhat easier, especially for those without much DIY knowledge. A wide range of subjects has been incorporated including a section on the tools you should have in order to do small DIY tasks around the house. Some of the main topics include woodwork, metalwork, electricity, plumbing, painting and door hardware. Hints and tips on basic safety, security, your car and first aid also feature in the book. DIY Hints and Tips has been compiled with both men and women in mind. By the time the man of the house returns home, his partner will already have put up that shelf herself with the help of this book – and it will stay up!

The Super-Helper Syndrome

A Survival Guide for Compassionate People

By: Jess Baker,Rod Vincent

A fascinating insight into how and why we are compelled to help others even when we've got nothing left to give.' Amy Beecham, Stylist 'This book is a powerful catalyst in showing helpers how to help themselves.' Suzy Reading, author of The Self-Care Revolution 'It goes well beyond reminding us of the importance of self-care and digs deep into unconscious beliefs and thinking patterns. I'm very sure that everyone could relate to the Super-Helper Syndrome.' Carers UK 'I wish this book had been available for me to read years ago. Besides explaining why super-helpers behave as they do, it's given me a healthier mindset and allowed me to reassess what boundaries around selflessness can look like.' Martine Croxall, BBC Television journalist There's a type of person out there who is better at helping others than they are at looking after themselves. Maybe you're one of them. Maybe you know someone who is. They are the backbone of the caring professions, giving strength to our schools, clinics, care homes and hospitals. But you will also find them in offices, gyms, community groups and charities – everywhere you look. There's usually one in every family. But these people, who do so much to help others, are struggling. Some face traumatic and distressing situations. Those in long-term caring relationships have no time to care for themselves. Those who are professional carers work prolonged hours with inadequate resources. Deeper down, beneath all of this, there is something else that causes helpers to suffer. It dwells in their psychology and the belief system that motivates them. The Super-Helper Syndrome offers a new perspective on the psychology of helping. It offers support for people who want to adopt a Healthy Helper Mindset, including meeting their own needs, countering the inner critic, building assertiveness and setting helping boundaries. It's only by doing these things that compassionate people can be most effective at helping others. This book is for anyone who helps to the detriment of their own wellbeing. It's for anyone who wants to support the helpers in their life. And it's for anyone who wants to understand how helping works and to be better at it.

The Demi-Monde

The US President's daughter is trapped in the Demi-Monde, a terrifying computer simulation and Ella, her would-be rescuer, can trust nothing and nobody, not even herself

By: Rod Rees

In the Demi-Monde Ella can trust nothing and nobody . . . not even herself. This omnibus edition includes all four parts of The Demi-Monde, called 'Discworld's savage noir cousin' by Stephen Baxter and 'an amazingly quick and enjoyable read' by the British Fantasy Society. The Demi-Monde is a computer-simulated training ground for soldiers. Populated by history's most notorious leaders, it is truly a Cyber-Hell. Ella Thomas was sent there to rescue Norma Williams, the daughter of the President of the United States, but it has all gone horribly wrong. Now she is stuck in this cyber world; the friends she trusted have become her enemies and the Grigori, who have lain quiet for thousands of years, dreaming of the day they will emerge into our world, threaten to finally achieve their goals. To succeed in preventing this destruction, Ella must be more than she ever believed she could be, because resisting evil will require courage, resolve . . . and sacrifice. 'Part Matrix, part Escape from New York , with a dash of Film Noir and a whole host of imagination. Beautifully written' Falcata Times

Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling

An Introduction to Practical Applications

By: Rod Barratt

To comply with legal and other standards, businesses and regulators are increasingly required to make decisions based on risk assessments of the potential effects of their activities on the environment. Atmospheric dispersion modelling is a cost-effective method, allowing various scenarios to be explored before expensive investment takes place. This guide offers advice on this environmental management tool. Unlike much of the previous literature, it doesn't focus excessively on the mathematical theory behind the modelling or on modelling for specific regulatory purposes. Instead, it offers an understanding of the background to the methodologies, providing exercises to develop the skills to carry these out and including examples of the use of commercially available models to enable the reader to assess the results of modelling for risk assessment.

Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb

A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

By: Rod Preece

Respect for animals has always been a part of human consciousness. Poets, thinkers, philosophers, scientists and statesmen have long celebrated our compassion towards Earth's other beasts.Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb compiles the most significant statements of sensibility to animals in the history of thought. From the myths of the ancient world to the Middle Ages to Darwin and beyond, Preece captures the most telling and fascinating accounts of humankind's relationship to the wild world, placing them in historical context. Jung called it an unconscious identity with animals, while Wordsworth saw it as the primal sympathy which having been must ever be. Linking the diverse chords of human experience that are touched by the animal world, Preece shows that despite a historical thread of cruelty, there still remains in all humanity a constant underlying concern for other beings as an integral part of the moral community. With musings and meditations from Lao Tse to Mohammed, from Plato to Jane Goodall, from classical religion to parliamentary proceedings, Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb is an original, superbly researched history that deepens our understanding of all living beings.

Environmental Humanities and Theologies

Environmental Humanities and Theologies

Ecoculture, Literature and the Bible

By: Rod Giblett

Many ways of thinking about and living with ‘the environment’ have their roots in the Bible and the Christian cultural tradition. Environmental Humanities and Theologies shows that some of these ways are problematic. It also provides alternative ways that value both materiality and spirituality. Beginning with an environmentally friendly reading of the biblical story of creation, Environmental Humanities and Theologies goes on to discuss in succeeding chapters the environmental theology of wetlands, dragons and watery monsters (including crocodiles and alligators) in the Bible and literature. It then gives a critical reading of the environmental theology of the biblical book of Psalms. Theological concepts are found in the works of English writers of detective and devotional stories and novels, American nature writers and European Jewish writers (as succeeding chapters show). Environmental Humanities and Theologies concludes with an appreciation for Australian Aboriginal spirituality in the swamp serpent. It argues for the sacrality of marsh monsters and swamp serpents as figures of reverence and respect for living bio- and psycho-symbiotic livelihoods in bioregions of the living earth in the Symbiocene. This is the hoped-for age superseding the Anthropocene. Environmental Humanities and Theologies is aimed at those who have little or no knowledge of how theology underlies much thinking and writing about ‘the environment’ and who are looking for ways of thinking about, being and living with the earth that respect and value both spirituality and materiality. It is a new text nurturing sacrality for the Symbiocene.

Thumper

The Memoirs of the Honourable Donald S. Macdonald

By: Donald S. Macdonald,Rod McQueen

At a certain point in our lives we are left only with our close relationships and our clear recollections." So begins Thumper: The Memoirs of the Honourable Donald S. Macdonald. An early supporter of Pierre Trudeau for the Liberal Party leadership, Donald Macdonald has had a career in public life spanning four decades that included posts as House leader, minister of national defence, minister of energy, and minister of finance. He chaired the landmark Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada, which led to free trade between Canada and the United States, and as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom he conferred with Margaret Thatcher and dined with Queen Elizabeth II. Drawing on extensive archival resources and contemporaneous personal diaries, Macdonald insightfully details his friendship with Trudeau, fascinating encounters with world leaders, and personal revelations about the October Crisis. In this behind-the-scenes account of the business of governing, he also describes high-stakes disputes with Alberta over soaring energy prices, the real story behind the resignation of John Turner as finance minister, and the decisive action taken against inflation using wage and price controls. Interlaced with anecdotes that reveal Macdonald's self-effacing good-nature, Thumper is a riveting memoir written with humility and candour, recalling an exceptional period in Canadian politics.

The End of White World Supremacy

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The End of White World Supremacy

Black Internationalism and the Problem of the Color Line

By: Roderick Bush,Rod Bush

The End of White World Supremacy explores a complex issue—integration of Blacks into White America—from multiple perspectives: within the United States, globally, and in the context of movements for social justice. Rod Bush locates himself within a tradition of African American activism that goes back at least to W.E.B. Du Bois. In so doing, he communicates between two literatures—world systems analysis and radical Black social movement history—and sustains the dialogue throughout the book. Bush explains how racial troubles in the U.S. are symptomatic of the troubled relationship between the white and dark worlds globally. Beginning with an account of white European dominance leading to capitalist dominance by White America, The Endof White World Supremacy ultimately wonders whether, as Myrdal argued in the 1940s, the American creed can provide a pathway to break this historical conundrum and give birth to international social justice.

Countless wedding ceremonies echoed Ruth's timeless words, Whither thou goest, I will go. We rejoice at Ruth's marriage to her kinsman redeemer, Boaz. Then the divine narrative leaves the reader to ponder those areas where the Bible is silent. *Why, actually, did Ruth leave with her mother-in-law, Naomi, for Bethlehem, while the other widowed daughter-in-law, Orpah, choose to remain in Moab? *What might have been the circumstances surrounding the death of Ruth's first husband, Mahlon? *Were Ruth and Orpah friends as well as sisters-in-law? *What kind of men were Naomi's two sons, Mahlon and Chilion? *Did Ruth's first husband, Mahlon, ever personally know her second husband, Boaz? *What would a kinsman redeemer look like in our contemporary culture? *How did Ruth's childhood as a pagan Moabite girl prepare her for life with Naomi, a God-Fearing Jew? Using his signature mixture of humor, drama, and imagination, author and storyteller Rod Mills retells the Book of Ruth as it might occur in the 21st century with his novel, Ruth Jones. Faithful to the biblical chronology of events, Ruth Jones leaves the reader with a greater appreciation for The Book of Ruth, and with a profound sense of admiration for that remarkable Moabitess revealed in Scripture.
