"This book looks at what is known about the social and economic factors affecting the future supply of family care for older people. Although the review focuses on the aspect of supply, this has to be placed in the context of the future demand for such care. The extent to which these are in balance has important implications for the demand for formal health and social care services. If the supply reduces, particularly at a time of increasing demand, there are likely to be major problems in meeting the needs of older people. The book provides detailed and comprehensive evidence on family care for older people." . ; Ex-Library; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 234 pages . more information

"European civilization between 6500 and 3500 BC â long before Greek or Judaeo-Christian civilizations flourished â had a distinct culture with its own unique identity. The mythical imagery of this era tells us much about early humanityâs concept of the cosmos, of human relations with nature, of the complementary roles of male and female. Through study of sculpture, vases and other cult objects, Gimbutas sketches the village culture that evolved there before it was overwhelmed by the patriarchal Indo-Europeans. The Goddess incarnating the creative principle as Source and Giver of All, fertility images, mythical animals and other artifacts are analysed for their mythic and social significance in this beautifully illustrated study.

London: The Gresham Publishing Company. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1905/1906. Presumed First Edition. Hardcover. This is one of those art deco/art nouveau turn of the century sets that Gresham did so well. Published in 6 Volumes and was "issued quarterly .... . Handsomely bound in cloth, at 8s. Net per volume ...." . So states a bound in 'flyer' to the front of the book. This particular set was covered in plain white 'dust covers' and has preserved the six volumes in Superb fashion. The set is bound in a blue based cloth with a linear design in white, with the title and numbering blocked in Bright gilt to the spine, and the title and an outlined globe filled in in gilt to the front board. Many of these lovely period designs by Gresham Publishing (Who were a subsidiary of Blackie and Co running the subscription side of the business from 1898, and continued trading until 1948) were created by now famous artists, and in particular by Talwin Morris who became Greshams Art director. I have no idea who actually designed this set (Keogh's state Archie Campbell? ) but this particular Set is Overall Near Fine. There are, unfortunately some light old damp spotting/patches, but the main flaw is to the Rear of Volume one, where it has obviously been stored against a damp area. Apart from this there are 2 lighter spots to the foot of the spine to Vols 1 and 3, o/wise the set is near 'AS NEW' and looks Bright and Shining! Internally FINE, the 6 volume set is illustrated beautifully throughout with black and white printed photographs, tissue guarded and captioned full page colour plates, and folding colour maps. ALL hinges tight and secure. Each volume is a tall 4to, and each is full of fascinating info for the reader, the student and the researcher alike. No Inscriptions or other Marks. Images available if required, and as this is a very overweight/heavy set and will most likely require Extra postage, depending on your location.
