Sinopsis

Weaving Family Ties explores the surprising economic and cultural significance of home-based textile weaving. More than just a hobby, this craft has historically served as a vital source of family income, especially for women, while simultaneously preserving cultural identity.

 
The book examines how weaving skills were passed down through generations, shaping gender roles and fostering social cohesion within families. It reveals that home weaving, often overlooked, has been a powerful force for economic empowerment and sustainable development.

 
This book progresses from the historical roots of home weaving, detailing tools and techniques, to an analysis of its economic impact using case studies and data. It then delves into the social dynamics within weaving families before concluding with the challenges of industrialization and contemporary initiatives supporting this tradition.

 
By combining economic analysis with ethnographic insights, Weaving Family Ties offers a realistic view of the strengths and potential of this artisanal skill, making it valuable for those interested in the intersection of economics, crafts, and cultural heritage.

    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.

    No Country for Old Age -...

    Since the birth of their nation, Americans have acted on the belief that theirs was a land of youth, a place destined to offer a fresh start to an aging world. No Country for Old Age tells this story from the founding period to our present moment, but not without exposing its darker side: rejuvenation has often bred grand expectations that end in division and despair. 
     
     
     
    Mischa Honeck reveals how Americans of diverse backgrounds have sought not only to feel and look younger but also to breathe new life into their communities. Whether marching under the banners of science, public health, sexual liberation, physical fitness, nation-building, or world peace, these youth seekers have tended to paint their ventures in utopian colors. However, from the founders to today's Silicon Valley elites, anti-aging ventures have repeatedly magnified social inequalities, often projecting visions of society that have been unmistakably classist, racist, misogynist, and ageist. Today we are experiencing rejuvenation's Janus-faced legacy: As transhumanists rhapsodize about cyber-enhancing human bodies, ghastly pandemics, old-age poverty, and shrinking life expectancies are poised to become the new normal for many twenty-first-century Americans.
