Older People Giving Care: Helping Family and Community
Sally K. Gallagher Manufacturer: Auburn House ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0865692335 |
Book Description
One of the few studies of how the elderly help others through formal and informal volunteerism. While a large number of studies focus on the help older people receive from relatives and friends, this work examines the many ways in which older people are involved in giving care to others. Written by a sociologist and based on a stratified sample of hundreds of individuals, this study assesses a number of dimensions of care giving. While much of this labor goes unnoticed, it is central to the building and maintenance of family and community ties, and reveals ways in which social life is organized around aging, gender, and marriage. Patterns of formal volunteerism and informal care are studied in relation to age, sex, marital status, and other important variables that affect this essential but underplayed aspect of American community life.

Citizen, Mother, Worker: Debating Public Responsibility for Child Care after the Second World War (Gender & American Culture.)

Accessories: ASIN: 0807854859 Release Date: 2006-09-26 |
Book Description
During World War II, American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, and many of them relied on federally funded child care programs. At the end of the war, working mothers vigorously protested the termination of child care subsidies. In Citizen, Mother, Worker, Emilie Stoltzfus traces grassroots activism and national and local policy debates concerning public funding of children's day care in the two decades after the end of World War II.Using events in Cleveland, Ohio; Washington, D.C.; and the state of California, Stoltzfus identifies a prevailing belief among postwar policymakers that women could best serve the nation as homemakers. Although federal funding was briefly extended after the end of the war, grassroots campaigns for subsidized day care in Cleveland and Washington met with only limited success. In California, however, mothers asserted their importance to the state's economy as "productive citizens" and won a permanent, state-funded child care program. In addition, by the 1960s, federal child care funding gained new life as an alternative to cash aid for poor single mothers.
These debates about the public's stake in what many viewed as a private matter help illuminate America's changing social, political, and fiscal priorities, as well as the meaning of female citizenship in the postwar period.

A different time.......2004-06-23
It really has not been that many years ago. Yet the echoes from these pages makes it seem like another era. Probably it was. When any employer could fire a female employee soley because she got married, or pregnant, with any risk of opprobrium.
The book also goes into the intertwining of the child care issue with that of race. How, in this pre-civil rights time, many women who had to work were Negro. Which naturally made harder the lobbying of white legislators.

Heroes After Hours: Extraordinary Acts of Employee Volunteerism (Jossey Bass Business and Management Series)
David C. Forward Manufacturer: Jossey-Bass ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1555426662 |
Customer Reviews:
Community Service for the Corporate World.......1999-08-25
"Heroes After Hours" is a wonderful book about corporations working to improve the lives of the greater community. Individuals in several large corporations took it upon themselves to design and implement community service projects, which their corporation later supported and endorsed. The projects and individuals featured were inspirational- the projects went beyond the normal and conventional volunteer projects. The projects are praise-worthy and truly inovative.
As the author demonstrates volunteerism and community service help more than just the recipent. Community service and volunteering improves everyones lives. Reading this book demonstrated that corporate America has the ability to adapt and help others in need.
Evidence that "Earth Angels" are among us in the workplace........1998-07-25
This book is a wonderful blueprint for initiating a volunteer program. It provides fresh, timely ideas for those who are searching for a worthy cause to support. It offers examples of corporate commitments which can make the difference when presenting ideas to upper management.
Even if the reader isn't interested in starting a volunteer effort, this book will surely warm their heart and perhaps spur individuals to get involved somewhere - every single effort counts!

ORACLE
1. Make sure you're on dry land. This book was not designed to be used underwater. (The pages get all soggy.)
2. Think of a yes/no question you need the answer to. If you already know the answer, there's really no point in asking the book.
3. Pick up the book, concentrating on your question. If you're already holding the book, you can skip this step.
4. Resist the urge to go jellyfishing.
5. Ask your question out loud, unless it's really embarrassing.
6. Rub your fingers along the edges of the book's pages until it feels right to stop.
7. STOP!
8. Open the book to the page you stopped at. Read what it says. That's the anwer to your question.
NOTE: Some pages let you know that the book wasn't quite ready to answer your question. Simply wait a little while (approximately the amount of time it takes to eat a Krabby Patty), then ask your question again, following the instructions above.
ANOTHER NOTE: Some answers are very clear. Some aren't. You may have to interpret the answers just as you interpret a fortune cookie.
ONE LAST NOTE: This book tastes nothing like a fortune cookie, so don't eat it, no matter what Patrick says.

London Calling: The Middle Classes and the Remaking of Inner London
Garry Robson , and Tim Butler Manufacturer: Berg Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1859736289 |
Book Description
Symbolizing both commerce and culture, London has always been a magnet for the ambitions of the middle classes. However, the past three decades have witnessed a dramatic fragmentation in inner-city Londons social map. New and highly distinctive middle-class neighbourhoods have sprung up where embattled workers seek to combat the deleterious effects of long working hours, travel, and stress on traditional family values. This book is the first to explore the powerful impact of globalization on Londons economy and those who are caught up in it. More and more people are responding to the negative effects of working life as well as the lack of structure in their lives and particularly those of their children. The gentrification of certain areas and the differences among them directly reflects this desire to impose cultural values and structure on urban surroundings. How do these areas reflect middle-class values, ideologies, lifestyles, social backgrounds and occupational choices, and how have old neighbourhoods been refashioned and made amenable to middle-class life? In what ways has family life been affected by this new emphasis on values, structure and security, and what does the future hold? This fascinating book provides the first sustained analysis of the profound effects of globalization on city dwellers. Its original account of the relationship between urban space and cultural reproduction will inspire new research for years to come.
