  Social Class and Mobility -...

  Social class and mobility are central concepts in understanding how societies function and evolve. The classification of individuals into different social classes based on income, occupation, education, and wealth shapes life experiences, opportunities, and access to resources. At the same time, social mobility—the ability of individuals or groups to move within a social hierarchy—determines whether societies remain rigidly stratified or allow for upward and downward movement. These dynamics influence economic stability, political structures, and cultural identities, making the study of social class and mobility essential for comprehending broader social patterns. 
  Social class is typically divided into broad categories such as the upper class, middle class, working class, and lower class. Each class has distinct characteristics that define access to wealth, education, job opportunities, and social networks. For example, the upper class often benefits from inherited wealth and exclusive professional opportunities, while the working and lower classes may experience financial instability and limited career advancement. These disparities create divisions that influence daily life, from the quality of healthcare received to the neighborhoods people can afford to live in. 
  Social mobility refers to changes in an individual’s or family’s social position over time. Mobility can be upward, where individuals improve their socioeconomic status, or downward, where they experience a decline. It can also be intergenerational, occurring across multiple generations, or intragenerational, happening within an individual’s lifetime. Various factors influence mobility, including education, economic conditions, public policies, and structural barriers such as discrimination or unequal access to opportunities.

  The Aging Revolution - The...

  A history of aging in the United States and an innovative blueprint for revolutionizing care for older adults from Northwell Health, New York’s largest health care system. The New York Times described Dr. Robert Butler as “the man who saw old age anew.” In his 1975 book Why Survive: Being Old in America, Butler argued that for far too many people old age was “a period of quiet despair . . . and muted rage” and he set out to mitigate it. Nearly five decades since he penned his book, a devoted band of brilliant physicians and others in the healthcare field have realized at least a portion of Butler’s dream: to recognize and alleviate suffering among the aging. 
  The Aging Revolution is the story of Butler and his disciples: women and men who saw older distressed adults in hospitals and homes, and worse: being ignored by most of the medical establishment. These revolutionaries could not ignore the suffering, and they set out—individually and collectively—to create entirely new ways of caring for aging adults to ease their suffering and improve their quality and length of life. 
  This revelatory book tells a story never-before told in its entirety, recounting the one of the most significant periods of improvement in American medical history. Readers will learn about pioneering individuals, concepts, and ideas that have improved the lives of millions, including: the women who placed the spotlight on delirium and falls—major issues for older adults; the campaign to build and spread Geriatric and Palliative Care; the small bands of doctors who worked the halls of Congress to create a new program that provides primary care along with home visits from healthcare professionals; and the New York-based foundation that has devoted its mission and millions exclusively to improving care and quality of life for aging adults. 
  Today, as a result, chronic conditions that almost always accompany old age are far more manageable. Older people enjoy more options for work and professional development, for education, for leisure and travel, for sports and maintaining physical strength and mobility. For increasing numbers of Americans, life is healthier and richer in the experiences that matter most. 
  Yet, aging in America can still be a challenge and, too often, particularly for the poor, a painful struggle. The range of mental and physical well-being has almost infinite variations: ninety-year-olds running marathons; sixty-five-year-olds incapacitated by stroke. While this book celebrates the incredible progress and strides made in this field, it also highlights areas that need improvement. The authors lay out specific steps that, if implemented, could ignite the aging revolution and diminish the total volume of older adults suffering in America.

  THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
  A guide for living outdoors and communing with the natural world—under the open skies. 
  ""I believe in sleeping outdoors, surrounded by tall fir trees, darkness and cold. Lying on my back and looking up at the stars, watching my breath form thin clouds."" 
  Under the Open Skies is one man’s perspective-shifting, immersive journey into the wilds of northern Sweden and into his own soul.   
  For four years, Markus Torgeby lived alone in a hut he built with his hands in the Jämtland forest on the northern tip of Sweden, reconnecting with nature, and healing from the stress and strain of urban life and an athletic career derailed by injury. 
  For Markus, living in the forest provided something concrete—cool winter air on his face, a cotton canvas of clouds overhead, wet clothes drying over the fire. Free from the constraints of modernity, his only responsibilities were the basics of survival—shelter, heat, food. Rooted on the ground under a bed of leaves, with his head finally aligned with his body, Markus found the solitude and silence he needed to be reborn. 
  In this moving elegy, Markus offers lessons both practical—how to make fire, how to craft an outdoor bed, how to tap trees for water—and profound—what it means to become one with the natural world, to live authentically, to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Under the Open Skies is as invigorating as a long hike on a brisk morning and as sublime as a bowl of cinnamon porridge at the end of a long day. It is an invitation—to the stressed, disconnected, and lonely, to all who yearn to unplug and slow down, to those who wonder how life got so complicated—to come home to nature, to open the mind and heart to the wide-open sky. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
