      Politicising and gendering care for older people

      Multidisciplinary perspectives from Europe

      by Anca Dohotariu, Ana Paula Gil, Lubica Volanská

      This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.

      Nutritional Practice Elderly People

      Concise advisory knowledge

      by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich (ed.)

      The physiology and living conditions of people change as they grow old, whereas it is often more difficult to adapt eating habits to the new requirements. Psychological aspects come to the fore. The challenge for giving specific nutritional advice is therefore particularly great. This volume in the book series Nutritional Practice provides all the information needed for the competent care of elderly people. It deals with general aspects of nutrition in old age, as well as specific nutritional situations such as poor diet, dehydration, chewing and swallowing problems, dementia, mobility, oral and food hygiene or nutrition at the end of life. A further section is concerned with communal catering.

      Was uns schmeckt

      Ein Atlas der Köstlichkeiten

      by Laura Gladwin, Zoë Barker, Ursula Heinzelmann

      Essen macht satt, Essen macht Spaß – und es ist sinnlich. Wie wunderbar es sich anfühlt, wenn man in einen Pfirsich beißt. Wenn die Vollkorncräcker so richtig laut zwischen den Zähnen krachen. Wie wunderbar frisch gebackenes Brot riecht. Wie seidig sich eine Miso-Suppe im Mund anfühlt, wie anders Odon-Nudeln mit Biss. Oder ein scharfes Linsen-Dhal. Odon-Nudeln? Miso-Suppe? Linsen-Dhal? Was ist das? Schmeckt das? Können wir unser Brot tatsächlich selber backen? Wo kommt der Pfirsich im Winter her? Wozu brauchen wir Kohlenhydrate, oder Fett? Wie wird aus Korn Mehl? Und aus einer Kakaobohne Schokolade? Warum essen manche Menschen kein Schweinefleisch? Und warum ist es besser, nach Lebensmitteln zu greifen, die in unserer Nähe wachsen? All dies und noch viel mehr erfahren wir in diesem Atlas für die ganze Familie, den Zoe Barker ganz wunderbar illustriert hat. Seine 1.144 Bilder und Texte laden uns zu einer kulinarischen Reise um die ganze Welt ein, bei der wir andere Kulturen und Traditionen kennenlernen. Empfohlen ab 5 Jahren

      High Throughput Plant Metabolomics

      by Jen-Tsung Chen

      This book summarizes the current achievements of metabolomics in revealing the roles of primary and secondary metabolisms of plants both used as major crops and for the production of medicines. It presents methods and applications of metabolomics for the exploration of stress responses, which may pave the way for obtaining climate-smart and stress-tolerant crops able to face biotic and abiotic stressors in a globally-changing climate. These technologies can advance the exploration of plant physiology as well as precision crop breeding for future anti-stress, high-quality, and high-yield plants and in doing so can achieve sustainable agriculture and therefore support the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the vision of sustainable agriculture. This book is an ideal reference for students, researchers, teachers, professors, and experts in the field of plant science and crop breeding. It provides an effective overview of the critical topic of plant science and will help to inspire and assist researchers as they design new experiments and methods.

      Performing Herself

      Autobiography and Fanny Kelly's Dramatic Recollections

      by Gilli Bush-Bailey, Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale

      This unique book contains the never before published script of the first ever one-woman show, written by Fanny Kelly. The script was performed in Britain in the 1830s and 40s, based on Kelly's own experiences and offers a picture of the exuberant and often bizarre Georgian entertainment world. The performance text is introduced, edited and explained by Gilli Bush-Bailey, who focuses 21st-century revisionist scholarship on Kelly's story. It is an innovative contribution to the modern debate on biographical and autobiographical writing, whilst also being a valuable text for those who wish to study comedy and women's performance. The materials and methods of the modern stand-up routine are already to be seen in this unusual text. This book will appeal to students and scholars who are involved in performance, theatre history, or biography. It is also an accessible text for the interested general reader. ;
