Minor rubbing. VG. Alzheimer's Disease Blackwell Oxford / Malden 2001 orig.wrappers 23x15cm, xiii,361 pp, PAPERBACK. "At a time when the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease is increasing dramatically, this accessible account revolutionizes our stereotypes of people with Alzheimer's Disease and their care. Written to appeal to general readers as well as professionals and students, it shows what sufferers can still do despite the loss of certain cognitive abilities, and offers constructive ways to improve the relationship between sufferers and healthy others. Rather than focusing on the etiology or treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, the author helps the reader to understand the psychology behind it. Getting away from a traditional scientific-medical focus on symptoms, the book brings to life the experience of suffering the disease, and the ways in which caregivers can identify and support the intact abilities of those afflicted" - Publisher's description.

Minor rubbing. VG. Historical Sociology Cambridge University Press Cambridge 1998 orig.wrappers 24x15cm, xxviii,628 pp., PAPERBACK. "This work analyses shifts in the relations of families, households, and individuals in a single German village during the transition to a modern social structure and cultural order.

During 'modernization', close kin developed a flexible set of exchanges, passing marriage partners, godparents, political favors, work contacts, and financial guarantees back and forth. Sabean also argues that the new kinship systems were fundamental for class formation, and he repositions women in the center of a political culture of alliance construction. One of a series of important local studies coming out of the Max Planck Institute for History, it is the most thorough-going attempt to work between the disciplines of social and cultural history… Read More
