Here’s the solution: a book that speaks directly to these busy mothers, offering support, information, and really fabulous ideas for creating great scrapbook art. Women will love the narrator’s voice (a mom, of course) that runs through the guide in the form of sticky notes and messages to herself. Honest and humorous, she represents the typical "scrapper,” and with her, readers can explore ideas for time management, discover scrapbooking inspiration in everyday objects, learn clever tips for journaling on the go, and see how technology can become their best friend.

Book Description

Narrative medicine, an interdisciplinary field that brings together the studies of literature and medicine, offers both a way of understanding patient identity and a method for developing a clinician’s responsiveness to patients. While recognizing the value of narrative medicine in clinical encounters, including the ethical aspects of patient discourse, Tara Flanagan examines the limits of narrative practices for patients with cognitive and verbal deficits. In Narrative Medicine in Hospice Care: Identity, Practice, and Ethics through the Lens of Paul Ricoeur, Flanagan contends that the models of selfhood and care found in the work of Ricoeur can offer a framework for clinicians and caregivers regardless of the verbal and cognitive capabilities of a patient at the end of life. In particular, Ricoeur’s concept of patient identity connects with the narrative method of life review in hospice and offers an opportunity to address the religious and spiritual dimensions of the patient experience.

It was a virtual death sentence. The resident at the hospital had just said, "We are recommending Bill be sent to a nursing home. He has some cognitive issues and is unlikely to benefit from rehabilitation." Complications had set in ten days after successful brain surgery. Fewer than four weeks later, still unable to clearly define the cause, the medical team had reached its decision. They were giving up on him. My husband was fifty-six years old. It was my unshakeable belief that their decision was both wrong and premature. We had everything at stake. Suddenly I was fighting for his life. Our life. How the hell did we get to this? The Fight of Our Life is Catherine Hawley's dramatic, no-holds-barred account of her battles with the health care system to attain rehabilitation and a higher quality of life for her husband -- at home -- allowing them more years of their special life together. It is a soaring love story and a sobering patient beware story -- a dramatic, engaging read with clear warnings of how readers should prepare for medical struggles ahead.

Book Description

A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box. In 1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station, looking for a good book for the journey to London. His disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived. Declaring that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive. Ever since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra. Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.
