Free Download Robert M. Page, "Clear Blue Water?: The Conservative Party and the Welfare State since 1940"
English | ISBN: 1847429866 | 2015 | 212 pages | PDF | 19 MB
Has the modern Conservative Party developed a distinctive approach to the post-war welfare state? In exploring this question, this accessible book takes an authoritative look at Conservative Party policy and practice in the modern era. The book takes as its main starting point the progressive One Nation Conservative (1950-64) perspective, which endeavoured to embrace those features of the welfare state deemed compatible with the party's underlying 'philosophy'. Attention then shifts to the neo-liberal Conservatives (1974-97), who sought to reverse the forward march of the welfare state on the grounds of its 'harmful' economic and social effects. Finally, David Cameron's (2005-present day) 'progressive' neo-liberal Conservative welfare state strategy is put under the spotlight. The book's time-defined content and broad historical thread make it a valuable resource for academics and students in social policy and politics as well as social history.

Free Download Chronische Erkrankungen: Behandlung und Bewältigung
Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3031689593 | 156 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
Dieses Buch erörtert die Rolle chronischer Erkrankungen als entscheidende Herausforderung für die Zukunft der Medizin in einer Zeit alternder Bevölkerungen und der stetigen Zunahme nicht übertragbarer Begleiterkrankungen. Es beschreibt, wie Gesundheitssysteme, die nach wie vor auf die Behandlung akuter Krankheiten ausgerichtet sind, unter überfüllten Notaufnahmen und zunehmenden Konflikten zwischen Patienten leiden, während das medizinische Personal zunehmend mit Frustration und der Gefahr des Burn-outs konfrontiert ist. Darüber hinaus beschreibt das Buch, wie Entwicklungsländer das Problem der Chronizität in ihrem täglichen Kampf mit übertragbaren Krankheiten wie Durchfall und Infektionen und mit nicht übertragbaren Krankheiten wie Fettleibigkeit, Diabetes und Asthma angehen. Aufgrund der unvermeidlichen Verbindung zwischen chronischer Erkrankung und Lebensende geht die Autorin taktvoll auf die Palliativmedizin ein und betont die Bedeutung gemeinsamer Entscheidungsfindung sowie eines umfassenden Bewusstseins für zukünftige Szenarien. Das Buch wendet sich an alle Ärztinnen und Ärzte sowie Pflegefachkräfte, die Patientinnen und Patienten mit chronischen Erkrankungen betreuen.

Free Download Wendy Luttrell, "Children Framing Childhoods: Working-Class Kids' Visions of Care"
English | ISBN: 1447352858 | 2020 | 340 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Urban educational research, practice, and policy is preoccupied with problems, brokenness, stigma, and blame. As a result, too many people are unable to recognize the capacities and desires of children and youth growing up in working-class communities. This book offers an alternative angle of vision―animated by young people's own photographs, videos, and perspectives over time. It shows how a racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse community of young people in Worcester, MA used cameras at different ages (10, 12, 16 and 18) to capture and value the centrality of care in their lives, homes, and classrooms. Luttrell's immersive, creative, and layered analysis of the young people's images and narratives boldly refutes biased assumptions about working-class childhoods and re-envisions schools as inclusive, imaginative, and care-ful spaces. With an accompanying website featuring additional digital resources (childrenframingchildhoods.com), this book challenges us to see differently and, thus, set our sights on a better future.
