The relationship between health, social care, and the teaching of disciplines such as sociology, social work, and social policy are increasing in many regions worldwide. This book explores the relationship between wider social theory and social welfare though an understanding of how power and resistance impinges on how helping professions operate in health and social spaces in the twenty-first century. The book presents a critical analysis of major Foucauldian theories and social issues in the construction and practice of health and social welfare. It discusses important theoretical and substantive contributions to current debates and presents an engaging, comprehensive, and innovative perspective to address both how power and resistance shape the way we live and how the way we live shapes the way in which we understand social relations among professionals, policy makers, and user groups in comparative contexts. The purpose of this book is to critically inform debates concerning the abstract and empirical features of health and social care examined through the lens of innovative theoretical perspectives emanating from Foucauldian theories.​

This book presents a critical analysis and examination of the major theories and social issues in the social construction of aging and death. It is concerned with the impact of death and places how our experiences of death are transformed by the roles that truth and discourse about aging play in everyday life. A major element of the book is an examination of the way in which groups and individuals employ specific representations of mortality in order to construct meaning and purpose for life and death. To accentuate this, the book provides an investigation into the social construction of death practices across time and space. Special attention is given to the notion of death as a socially accomplished phenomenon grounded in a unique sociological introduction to the meaning of death throughout history to the present. The purpose of this book is to critically inform debates concerning the abstract and empirical features of death examined through the lens of sociological perspectives. This book explores the emergent biomedical dominance relating to ageing and death. An alternative is advocated which re-interprets ageing for Graduate schools. This innovative book explores the concept, history and theory of aging and its relationship to death. Traditionally, many books have focused on older people dying of 'natural causes', a biomedical explanatory framework. This book looks at alternative social theories and experiences with aging and relate to death in different countries, victims, crime, imprisonment and institutional care. Are these deaths avoidable? If so, what are the solutions the book addresses. This is one of the first books that re-interprets aging and its relationship of examples of death. It will be of essential reading for graduate students and researchers in understanding these different examples of aging and death across the globe.

As for my edition of Homer's Iliad in both Greek and Latin, my intention has been to provide myself with a text of the original Greek alongside something with which I am more familiar. Latin has the advantage over English, in that word for word transliteration is possible. I have some suspicion that the philosophy and events described in the New Testament are not only fit for a Christian to know about. But they are also a summation and high point of the Greek Hellenistic culture which preceded them. The original Greek language is therefore useful as a way to be closer to the minds which composed the New Testament, but also encourages us to go back to the Greek forerunners of Christ.The texts are presented without footnotes of the traditional cross-references. My intention was to publish a Jerome Vulgate alongside the Greek text, for readers who are to some extent familiar with these languages, and want a ready copy of those texts.

The X-Men franchise is a sprawling comic-book mythology, to which hundreds of creators have contributed material over the past 50 years. The period from 1975 to 1991 is special, however, as the X-Men universe was guided by the voice of one writer, who wrote every single issue of THE UNCANNY X-MEN during that span. His name is Chris Claremont, and he made the X-Men what it is today.THE BEST THERE IS AT WHAT HE DOES is an appreciation of the long-term narrative Claremont lovingly crafted month after month, over the course of nearly 17 years. Proceeding chronologically through the issues, this exhaustive overview analyzes the trends, arcs, and themes that emerge over the course of his landmark comics opus.From Sequart Organization.

I distinguish the Church, which is an organisation of Christian people of various amounts of commitment, from the State, which is the way of organising the Christian people, so that they may defend themselves and engage in foreign policy. The State should be pushed, to reduce its ambition; the the space will be open for the parishes of a Church to reassume their proper role. The individual man should be able to justify in himself, both that rolling back of the state, and also see in himself, why he is justified in trusting in God.

Jason Powell's prose account of his time in Iraq belongs with those of the poets Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, and David Jones, with whom he shared the distinction of being a soldier of the Royal Welsh.Describing intimately the major incidents of the final, bitter months of the British occupation of Iraq, and told from an insistently personal point of view, the account ends with the certainty of salvation.

Christian, Conservative, sometimes rhyming, sometimes metrical, in the actual language of men. What's not to like? The individual alone is king. / The crowd have their day, but never trespass / On ground where the soul stands pure before our God. / The land can pass away for all I care / If this is not informing all its works.

The meaning of life, and the story of a life, with lots of death mixed in, and that state of in between life and death, too. By Jason Powell, this is the story of Jacob.

A poem in one hundred parts. The author or his persona speaks in the first person throughout. Invited to become famous by the muse of poetry, he follows her around England and Wales discovering the demons which rule his world and his own head. Ultimately, the muse promises that he will see the whole truth of what it means to be a man, in payment for which, he will be ritually sacrificed; after visiting the politicians, church men, the health service, scientists, aliens, and Catholics, he is immolated by a divine being. A very frightening poem which leaves one asking what it was all about, and why he survived to tell the tale.

This edition, with text by the author, represents the final draft of a poem without introduction. A deadly serious work, allegorical and factual from time to time, and wordy and verbose also, the title addresses the problems of 2021 from the perspective of eternity. Jason Anthony Reginald Powell is likely to become famous as 'the Swan of Wrexham'.

... the possibility of experiencing eternal consciousness; finally being able to know your self; hearing your inner guide's voice; attaining to heavenly infinite life and knowledge - these on the one hand. And on the other... : a handful of supernaturally talented individuals run everything; a conspiracy with global reach; withheld knowledge of advanced science; a plot to steal consciousness from us; alien visitors who have made a home for themselves; rewritten and falsified history; ancient creation myths are actually true These are Icke's themes. An attractive and mad collection of ideas, for sure. And yet there is something about them or concealed in them which is right for these days. What is it which makes Icke so impressive at the same time as his writing is - mostly - so improbable?
