Carers’ Stories
Author: Gill Constable
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443863653

Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
It is estimated that 750,000 people are living with dementia in the UK and 500,000 partners, family members and friends are involved in caring for someone with dementia at a value of £6 billion a year, if care was provided by health and social care services (Department of Health, 2009). This book is about hearing the stories of six carers; half the carers identified as lesbian or gay. The findings were illuminating, as the carers did not experience the person with dementia as a burden, but rather found contact with health and social care services to be burdensome due to the fragmentation of services, an absence of knowledge about carers’ entitlements, and care services seeing the dementia first rather than the person. Positive aspects in the relationships between the carers and the cared-for endured. This book is relevant to anyone who supports a person with dementia in a paid or unpaid capacity, or has a role in the provision or commissioning of services and wants to understand better the policy context, and, most importantly, the strategies that support people with dementia to maintain a sense of identity and wellbeing.

Book Description
An ambush by my mom to discuss catering my nonexistent wedding is not a fun way to spend a morning. She's no longer setting me up on blind dates; she's planning a wedding. Never have I been happier to get a call from work regarding a dead body found in a field. My name is Detective Ali Rivers with the Abernathy, Tennessee Police Department. It's my job to trudge through the evil actions people do and seek justice for my victim and their families. My partner, Jerry, and I see evil on a daily basis. This body in a field poses a multi-faceted problem. Not only are we dealing with the evils of murder, but the case takes an unexpectedly sadistic turn. We are forced to team up with a group of people who have rather fluid definitions of justice and what's socially acceptable. This case is highlighting how depraved and evil this world can be. Evil resides perfectly hidden in darkness. When it comes to eradicating that darkness, sometimes you need to have friends who walk in shadows.

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 582
Book Description
Close to the Enemy is a seven-part television series, mostly set in a bomb-damaged London hotel in the aftermath of the Second World War. The drama follows intelligence officer Captain Callum Ferguson whose last task for the Army is to ensure that a captured German scientist, Dieter, starts working for the British RAF on urgently developing the jet engine. With the background of the emerging Cold War, it is clear to all that it's crucial for British national security that cutting-edge technology is made available to the armed forces as quickly as possible. Callum uses unorthodox methods in his attempt to convince Dieter to work with the British and eventually a friendship develops between the two men, but soon tensions arise as all is not as it seems. Over the course of the series, Callum encounters a number of other characters whose stories all intertwine. These characters include Victor, Callum's younger brother, struggling to deal with psychological trauma caused by his experience in the fighting; Harold, a Foreign Office official who reveals some startling truths about the outbreak of the war; Rachel, an enchanting Anglophile American engaged to his best friend; and Kathy, a tough young woman working for the War Crimes Unit, fighting to bring war criminals who escaped prosecution to justice. All these characters are trying to rebuild and move their lives forward in the aftermath of the war, a war that scarred them all so deeply. Close to the Enemy was first screened on BBC2 in November 2016 in a production by Little Island Productions. It starred Jim Sturgess, Freddie Highmore, Charlotte Riley, Phoebe Fox, August Diehl, Robert Glenister, Alfie Allen, Charity Wakefield, Angela Bassett, Lindsay Duncan and Alfred Molina.

Book Description
Evan Andrews, twenty-six, is a real Adonis as far as his new girlfriend, Cynthia, is concerned, as well as all the others around her. He is pleasant, extremely handsome, and a real Mr. Nice Guy, and many think he is a male model or an actor. Standing six-foot-one, with a bronze, taut body from working at the gym, he is really eye-catching attractive, but he scored a job as a courier and enjoys it very much. After six months, his boss invites him to his daughters twenty-first birthday; and when he and Cynthia meet, the fireworks go off, and they are smitten with each other. Cynthia is brunette, beautiful, has a happy personality, has a good figure, and is the apple of her fathers eye. After meeting Cynthia, Evan asked her on a date the following week, and she accepted. Her brother, Lyle, came over from Egypt, where he has been travelling and met up with his school mate, Pete, who was also invited to the party and felt he also would like to see Cynthia as she had grown up since he saw her four years ago and gone from a plain, skinny teenager to this attractive, sexy young woman. Lyle could see the jealousy coming from Pete when she accepted the date with Evan, and from then on there were problems, and on New Years Eve, Pete decided that Cynthia is his and did something about it, which caused massive problems for the Preston and Andrews families as he abducted Cynthia, and no one knew where he had taken her. Time went by, and finally Cynthia was found and had to fight to live as she had not eaten a morsel in eighteen days, praying she would die knowing she could never be found where he had taken her. It was touch and go for her to live, and over a long time, she had to learn to live and walk again. This is a heartfelt story of what jealousy can do and how it can make someone unbalanced; how the people of Australia, thanks to the media, along with her family and friends, stood by her while she was fighting to stay alive; and how a deep, meaningful love triumphs all.
