Prostate Cancer, Sexual Health, and Ageing Masculinities
Free Download Prostate Cancer, Sexual Health, and Ageing Masculinities: Exploring the Achilles' Heel of Men
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031530381 | 144 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.4 MB
This book provides a rich, multidimensional analysis of how prostate cancer is lived, treated, and perceived by different actors through the stages of care, rehabilitation, and recovery. Furthermore, it focuses on how side effects, such as urinary leakage and impotence, affects the construction of masculinity. Though the book foregrounds men treated for prostate cancer, it also includes the voices of partners and health care professionals, such as urologists, contact nurses, and sexual health counsellors. The focus is on both phenomenological aspects of prostate cancer―how the disease affects men's self-perception and lifestyle―and on sociological aspects―that is, how gender and masculinity are understood and negotiated in social situations/interactions. Situated within the field of critical studies on men and masculinity the book engages in an intersectional analysis of the relationship between prostate cancer, class, and ageing masculinities, as well as providing an analysis of the complex relational triad created when voices of treated men, their partners, and health care professionals are brought together.

Ageing Matters European Policy Lessons from the East
Free Download Ageing Matters: European Policy Lessons from the East By John F. Doling (editor), Catherine Jones Finer (editor), Tony Maltby (editor)
2005 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 0754642372 | PDF | 2 MB
The implications of population ageing have long concerned politicians, policy makers and governmental and non-governmental organizations in the welfare states of Europe. However, an ageing workforce is increasingly a matter of concern for the developed and fast-developing countries of Asia. Japan leads the field in this respect on account of the speed of its postwar economic development. But the little tigers of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan are poised to catch up, and Malaysia, though in the second tier of developing Asian economics, faces the prospect of population ageing sufficient to daunt an as yet under-prepared infrastructure for old age support. This book is the first to examine in detail the experiences and prospects of population ageing in those Asian countries with the highest GDP per capita. The authors pose the question to what extent Asia and 'old Europe' can learn from each other in terms of policy planning. The first section of the book sets out the field in terms of the demographic characteristics and policy predicaments of European and Asian countries. The second section presents case-studies of six countries: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Ageing, Men and Social Relations New Perspectives on Masculinities and Men's Social Connections in Later Life
Free Download Paul Willis, "Ageing, Men and Social Relations: New Perspectives on Masculinities and Men's Social Connections in Later Life "
English | ISBN: 144736306X | 2024 | 262 pages | PDF | 14 MB
While there has been a gradual increase in scholarship on men, ageing and masculinities, little attention has been paid to the social relations of men in later life and the implications for enhancing their social wellbeing and counteracting ageist discourse. Bringing together scholars in social gerontology and the social sciences from across Global North and South nations, this collection fills the gaps in key texts by foregrounding older men's experiences. It provides new perspectives across the intersections of old age, ethnicities, class and sexual and gender identity, paying particular attention to older men from seldom heard or marginalised groups.

Free Download Fred Karl, "Ageing in the Crisis: Experiences from Greece (4) "
English | ISBN: 3643909845 | 2018 | 200 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Demographic ageing should not be a crisis for either societies or individuals, though often reported as problematic. But what about ageing during long periods of crisis, when social and economic conditions worsen? The book takes a look at the experiences of Greece, the country most shaken by the severe financial crisis of the last years. The book describes the strong influence of the crisis on ageing, health and social relations and the challenges to which Greek institutions and citizens respond. The authors represent the multidisciplinary field of economics, social policy, health and family research and civil society in Greece.

Free Download Maria Konstantaki Barbara Humberstone, "Ageing, Physical Activity, Recreation and Wellbeing"
English | ISBN: 1443891045 | 2016 | 230 pages | PDF | 1211 KB
This book will serve to raise awareness of ways of healthy ageing that are facilitated by different forms of, and approaches to, physical activity, exercise and recreation. It presents a collection of studies focusing on the effectiveness of different methods that promote an active lifestyle among communities and older people in general. The contributions draw upon qualitative and quantitative paradigms that have active ageing at the core of their investigations. The book imparts knowledge about recent advances in physical activity, recreation and wellbeing initiatives that will benefit the academic community and the wider public. It will also dispel myths about ageing and physical activity, trouble popular notions of ageing, and present different intervention strategies and approaches that will serve to improve older peoples lives and develop an understanding of active and healthy ageing. Examples are drawn from both global and local perspectives, walking initiatives, exercise classes for the over 50s, a dancing the tango for the D/deaf project, an inter-generational dance project, Movers and Shakers exercise intervention studies, and yoga/swimming and windsurfing case studies.
