Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As she makes her daily rounds to visit her nursing home patients, a geriatrician tells us what life and death are like in long-term care, given the insights of a decade of practice. Gilah Silber, M.D., offers up candid portraits of patients, the families who surround or neglect them, and the varied personalities of facilities themselves, where treatment and care are colored by the administrative outlook and the attitudes of staff. Alongside her stories, which are by turns fascinating, funny, exasperating, and moving, Dr. Silber points up the problems and predicaments of old age and chronic illness, some of which can be 'solved' and some of which cannot. She raises searching questions about long-term institutionalized care, and shows how much the standards of business, science, and law-as well as shifting ethics-influence how we care now. In what might be termed 'self-help for the astute, ' Dr. Silber's book is a catalyst, provoking us to think creatively about aging and the end of life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stranger moves into an empty house above a remote fishing port in the West of Ireland. The residents know only that he's 'from the North' and is taciturn and moody. Donal, a local man with reputed links to Republican paramilitaries, is especially suspicious. The newcomer is befriended, however, by three people: the young parish priest, Father Brian; a 12-year old lad with learning difficulties called Tony; and Tony's mother Kathleen, grateful for the stranger's kindness to her son. When it's revealed that the man, Mahood, is in fact a former RUC officer, tensions in the village rise. Father Brian, though he believes Mahood's story that he's come there to get over a personal tragedy, pleads with him to leave. But soon they're caught up in a rapid sequence of events which underline the isolated location of the village, the conflict of loyalties between the characters, and the difficulty of building trust between communities divided by centuries of hostility.
