Institutionalization of the Elderly in Canada

Butterworths Perspectives on Individual and Population Aging Series

By: William F. Forbes,Jennifer A. Jackson,Arthur S. Kraus

Institutionalization of the Elderly in Canada provides information regarding the care of elderly people in long-term care institutions in Canada. The monograph presents the nature and operation of the system of long-term institutional care of the elderly in Canada. The book provides a definition and historical outline of institutional care; the various types of available facilities, and the populations for which these institutions are designed; and the issues concerning the interface between community-oriented services and institutions. The health and functional abilities of the elderly and the programs which may be needed for the care of the long-stay elderly resident; issues on attitudes towards institutionalization, excessive medication, inappropriate placement and divided jurisdictional responsibility; and the quality and outcomes of care and the implications of government policy and programs are extensively discussed as well. Gerontologists, healthcare professionals, and medical administrators will find the book of value.

Follow The Money

How China Bought the World

By: Michael William McCarthy

While anyone can hop on a plane and fly anywhere in the world for work or a holiday, investigative journalist Michael McCarthy combines the two, using his frequent press trips as research for hundreds of stories of his travels to nearly 50 countries. While ostensibly reporting about places to stay, where to go and what to do on vacation, he also keeps his eye out for hidden clues about ways that the Chinese Communist Party is secretly infiltrating western democracies in order to take over the world. The book is structured as a page turner, one trip leading to the next, told in narrative style about what the author sees and where, and why the reader should know and care about what is actually happening to the world behind the scenes. The Chinese are taking over the world, and using Westerners money to do so, a true Trojan horse disguised as actions good for all concerned, but deadly dangerous for all.

Advanced Methodologies

in the Scientific Study of Religion and Spirituality

By: William Grassie

During much of twentieth century, social scientists were predicting that religious would gradually diminish and disappear with the spread of science, education movements in many parts of the world, a source of both hope and concern in the twenty-first century. Alongside this trend, the last decade saw a resurgence of interest in the scientific study of religious and spiritual phenomena among researchers in diverse fields. Psychology, sociology ,and anthropology still play central roles in such studies, but these disciplines are now supplemented by economics, epidemiology, evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral genetics, among others.

Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan (3 Vols)

Or the Central and Western Rajput State of India

By: James Tod,William Crooke

Website: www.mlbd.co.in Email: info@mlbd.co.in This work relates to the (erstwhile) Central and the Western Rajput States of India. It embodies the results of scholarly investigation into the ethnology of Rajputs, their religious and social practices, their festivals and rites, their legal and political institutions and the merits and demerits of their characters. Herein we get a real portrait of the different aspects of Rajput life: their loyalty, devotion, gallantry, chivalry as also the instability of their character, their outbreaks of passion, fears, occasional faithlessness of their chiefs and allies and, above all, their addiction to drugs. The work is divided into three volumes: each volume being sub-divided into books and chapters. Vol I deals mostly with the Geography of Rajasthan, the History of the Rajput tribes and the feudal system of their states. Vol II contains the Annals of Marwar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and other cities of Rajasthan. Vol III comprises the annals of Amber, Haravati, Bundi and describes Shaikhawat Federation, and contains personal narratives from Udaipur to Kheroda. It has an appendix divided into seven sections and an exhaustive general index. Interspersed with several illustrations, this book is remarkable for its enlightening introduction and exegetical notes.
