The first comprehensive exploration on the subject of older men, Older Men′s Lives offers a multidisciplinary portrait of men and their concerns in later life. Using both a life-course and gendered perspective, the contributors to this collection of original articles point out that the image and self-image of men are continuously reconstructed over the life cycle. They examine older men′s position in society and the changes wrought in their status and roles over time. Their relationship with their spouses, children, grandchildren, and friends are also explored, as are policy implications of a gendered, life-cycle view of masculinity. This volume also discusses faith development in older men, masculinity identity from work to retirement, older men′s sexuality, and older men′s friendship patterns. Older Men′s Lives will be of interest to professionals and students interested in gender, men′s studies, gerontology, and sociology. "This book begins to remedy the lack of information and provides data and research on aging men. . . .The strength of this book is the specificity of its focus. By focusing solely on male concerns the book is able to identify issues in the male aging process and discuss them on their own terms rather than simply as a contrast to females." --Clinical Gerontologist

Interviewing is one of the most common techniques used to conduct qualitative research in the social sciences and humanities. As a result of globalization, researchers increasingly conduct interviews cross-, inter- and intra-nationally. This raises important questions about how differences and sameness are understood and negotiated within the interview situation, as well as the power structures at play within qualitative research, and the role that reflexivity plays in mediating these. What does it mean to interview Black women as a Black woman? How is ethnicity negotiated across various qualitative research encounters? How are differences bridged or asserted in feminist interviewing? These are just some of the questions explored in the chapters in this volume. Drawing on their recent research, the contributors detail their experiences of engaging in qualitative interviewing and examine how they negotiated the various dilemmas they encountered. The contributions challenge some of the assumptions made in early feminist work on interviewing, providing nuanced accounts of actual research experiences. This volume explores the practice and implications of conducting cross-, inter- and intra-cultural interviewing, bringing together researchers from a range of disciplines and countries to describe and analyse both its vicissitudes and its advantages.

During their seven-year journey through Alzheimer's disease, author Dorothy Horne and her husband Byron learned to open their hearts and trust God. After realizing it wasn't what happened to them but through them that was most important, they found they could walk through the fire with His provision and strength. The grace they experienced in the midst of their trials became a gift to share with others, for God's glory. ___________________ "Glimpses of Grace, Vol. 2: And Grace Will Lead Us Home, is a hope-filled glimpse into the journey of a loving wife following a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's for her husband and the couple's coming together to fit in God's perfect plan. Dorothy Horne gives us an inside look into the vulnerable world of a caregiver and offers practical advice on how to accept help from others, care for your spouse and care for yourself. It is a beautiful story of courage and reliance upon God to bring 'beauty out of ashes.' A must-read for any spouse or family member dealing with Alzheimer's and other dementias." -KRISTEN ISHIHARA, elder law attorney "If grace could be made tangible, its beauty could be seen, touched, and heard in this wise and tender book. Dorothy's soulful reflections are filled with love, light, and hope that will be uplifting to those families living with Alzheimer's and other related forms of dementia." -NELDA STRONG, Alzheimer's caregiver and advocate "What a powerful story-truly a love story! Alzheimer's, dementia, slow-motion excruciating loss. Dorothy doesn't sugar-coat it. Yet if you want to witness joy in the midst of the storm, first-hand the power of unpreachy faith, the difference a faith community can make and practical advice for how to help-this is poignant storytelling for you. While Glimpses of Grace, Vol. 2: And Grace Will Lead Us Home shares her long and painful journey of losing her beloved Byron, it is also an up-close look under the microscope at the joy, pain, and hope of relationships-family, friends, faith, and community. In the midst of gut-wrenching loss of a relationship-relationships are also a key source of coping and healing. Dorothy's intimate but crisp sharing will not only move you deeply to tears of sorrow and of joy-it will remind you of just how dear are your own relationships." -ROBERT HALL, author, This Land of Strangers: The Relationship Crisis That Imperils Home, Work, Politics and Faith
