  Dignity for Deeply Forgetful...

  For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's. 
   
  How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing selfidentity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. 
   
  In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity.  
   
  With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled."  
   
  Post covers key practical topics such as: 
  • understanding the experience of dementia 
  • noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity" 
  • perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers 
  • how to communicate optimally and use language effectively 
  • the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity 
  • the value of trained "dementia companion" dogs 
   
  At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics  
  on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic  
  justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica.

  The Fox Shrew and You - How...

  A leading neuroscientist describes the long evolutionary process that led to the human brain. 
  Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew. 
  By examining the challenges that different animals and their ancestors faced, Mars shows that we can understand what drove the evolution of their brains. Early vertebrates became predators of the sea; mammals evolved a complex neocortex to deal with foraging for high-energy food; and social primates adapted to contend with a fast-changing environment in which groups of individuals team up to get food. Over the course of a long evolutionary road, the ancestors of present-day animals and their descendants continually adapted to challenges, modifying their brains again and again. For us humans, this process gradually led to a brain that is capable of so much, from inventing language to traveling into space. 
  Mars leads listeners across eras and species, showing us how we resemble our animal cousins, how we differ from them, and how animals in one branch of the evolutionary tree did the hard evolutionary work of becoming human.

  This book is the best recipe for becoming an expert on information security. If you aspire to be a security expert by taking the CISSP exam, there is no shortage of books that claim to be the ultimate solution to information security. They dupe students into thinking that they are the only books on the market for this specific subject. 
  Well, they may be dubbed as the ultimate but are they the most reader-friendly books for this dry subject? Will there be any juice to be consumed by the reader and fiber to digest? Are those books written easy to under language? If those book authors have crammed their work with technical jargon, I must plead with you to avoid this confusion. 
  What makes this book different from the other books on the market is the fact that it is written in a lucid and coherent form. You will find all the topics well-connected and written in easy and simple language. The book contains the following topics: 
  •Security Principles 
  •Security Threats and Countermeasures 
  •Business Continuity Planning 
  •Incident Response Planning 
  •Security Models and Controls 
  •Secure Communications 
  •And lots more!

  Before the podcast and the smartphone, there was the cassette tape and the Walkman — two devices that, although not considered much today, were revolutionary. They were recordable, rewritable, spliceable, compact, and mobile. For the first time, they allowed you to move through the world and listen to a voice speaking only to you. These cassette tapes brought us together, pulled us apart, and forever changed how we say those three simple words, ‘I love you.’ In five episodes from around the world, Mixtape explores the impact the cassette had and continues to have today.
