Synopsis

Indian Epic Structures explores how ancient Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana were preserved through generations via oral tradition. It reveals the sophisticated methods used to transmit these narratives, focusing on oral formulas and thematic repetition. The book highlights how standardized phrases acted as mnemonic devices, aiding storytellers and audiences alike. Similarly, recurring motifs and character archetypes provided a framework for improvisation while maintaining the epics' core elements. The book argues that these techniques were not merely memory aids, but intricate literary tools shaping the epics' structure and meaning. It examines the social and cultural context of ancient India, emphasizing the role of bards in preserving these stories. Beginning with an introduction to the major epics, the book progresses to analyze oral formulas and thematic repetition, demonstrating their combined impact on the epics' enduring power and cultural relevance. This approach offers a unique perspective by blending textual analysis with performance theory, providing a holistic view of these narratives.

A Dignified Life - Revised and...

MPH David Troxel, MSW Virginia Bell

More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related form of dementia. By the year 2030, experts estimate that as many as 66 million people will be faced with this life-altering disease. These statistics impact millions of caregivers. Compared with all types of caregivers, those who assist someone with dementia experience the highest levels of burnout, depression, poor health, and premature death. A Dignified Life, Revised and Expanded offers hope and help. 
 
 
 
Ten years ago, the first edition of A Dignified Life changed the way the caregiving community approached Alzheimer's disease by showing caregivers how to act as a Best Friend to the person. Firmly grounded in the latest knowledge about dementia, this expanded edition offers a wealth of tips and advice. 
 
 
 
While medical treatment of the disease hasn't changed, our understanding and awareness of treating people in a more caring way has changed. With no cure, respectful care by effective and compassionate care partners is the only real "treatment" available. The Best Friends Approach is successful because it sustains people's connection to their world, their loved ones, and themselves. A Dignified Life shows how to bring dignity, meaning, and peace of mind to the lives of both those who have Alzheimer's and dementia and those who care for them.
