Intervencia na stimuláciu kognitívnych schopností a sociálnych zručností
Cieľom tejto učebnice je zmysluplne podporiť seniorov – nielen v oblasti sociálnej starostlivosti, ale aj v ich každodennom prežívaní, správaní a vzťahoch. V období, keď sa mnohí z nich ocitajú v izolácii, stereotypnom rytme života v zariadeniach či komunitných centrách, alebo postupne strácajú kontakt s okolím, ponúka táto publikácia konkrétne nástroje a inšpirácie na ich aktivizáciu a sociálne začlenenie. Plnohodnotný, dôstojný a radostný život seniorov si vyžaduje kvalitne pripravených odborníkov, ktorí budú schopní túto víziu napĺňať v každodennej praxi. Práve preto je táto učebnica adresovaná predovšetkým študentom odborov ako sociálna práca, psychológia, andragogika či ošetrovateľstvo, teda tým, ktorí stoja na začiatku tejto cesty. Zároveň je určená aj odborníkom pôsobiacim v zariadeniach sociálnych služieb a komunitných centrách, teda sociálnym pracovníkom, inštruktorom sociálnej rehabilitácie, psychológom, sociálnym andragógom/geragógom, ošetrovateľom a ďalším profesionálom, ktorí sa venujú seniorskej populácii.
Publikácia vychádza z aktuálnych teoretických východísk a ponúka čitateľovi ucelený pohľad na špecifickú intervenciu zameranú na seniorov – od jej charakteristiky, cez implementáciu, odporúčania, až po predstavenie komplexného programu. Na teoretickú časť nadväzuje praktická rovina, ktorá sa sústreďuje na konkrétne aktivity.

But her mysterious mentor is as obsessive as he is demanding, and he will not share Christine with anyone - not unless he can have them both in a bargain that is as dangerous as it is seductive. Light and shadows, gentleness and raging passion, the three of them should not fit so perfectly together. Yet as a supernatural force looms, ready to tear them apart forever, Christine must decide if love can truly exist in the space between beauty and madness…and whether she’s finally ready to fully embrace the music of the night.
An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of The Phantom of the Opera with a magical twist.
The Lost Summer
A girl’s vanishing draws a detective into the crimes and mysteries of her own past in a shocking novel of psychological suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Fourth Girl. Detective Sergeant Midge Kennedy and her lifelong pals Talia and Kelly have reunited on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the disappearance of their friend Caroline, hoping to put that summer of loss behind them. But as the season draws to a close in Mulberry Bay, Midge is plunged into a missing person case with unsettling ties to the past. Ordinarily, she wouldn’t suspect foul play when a sixteen-year-old girl is just a few hours late getting home on a beautiful summer afternoon. But her investigation yields a shocking glimpse of a familiar face, and mounting coincidences link Sarah Greene’s vanishing to Caroline’s. The clues lead to Haven Cliff, an abandoned Gilded Age estate that’s been the stuff of cursed legend for generations. It’s also Kelly’s new home, restored after decades of ruin. Midge suspects that the wooded grounds hold the key to Sarah’s fate and Caroline’s. But will Haven Cliff—and Midge herself—give up long-buried secrets?

At Home with Blue: Soothing spaces for restful living
Beloved for its tranquil and restorative qualities, the color blue is endlessly versatile in the home. Bestselling author Fifi O’Neill reveals 12 homes that explore the full spectrum of shades. Blues are right at home in any room, whether your style skews country or urban, modern or classic, bold or understated. Every color has an anthology of hues, but finding a soothing red or an energizing grey can be challenging. Blue, however, is a color without limits: from azure to cerulean and from turquoise to ultramarine, there are countless possibilities. It also pairs well with other hues. With white it evokes the laidback charm of a coastal cottage. In a chalky pastel scheme it brings a soft and dreamy feel. And it provides the perfect contrast for bright green, mustard yellow or a pop of red. In the first section of the book, Inspirations, Fifi considers the essential elements of a blue-toned scheme: fabrics and furniture, lighting, accessories, and more. The second section, The Homes, features 12 real homes from Rhode Island to California, arranged in four chapters: Heavenly Blues, Moody Blues, True Blues, and Atmospheric Blues. Each one offers an inspiring take on decorating with this much-loved color.

How to Count Birds
A practical guide to making every bird count, for those who count birds. Counting birds may sound simple—just step outside and start tallying. But in reality, it's a complex and essential endeavor at the core of modern wildlife conservation. In How to Count Birds, conservation biologist Christopher JW McClure offers a practical guide to designing effective bird monitoring programs that inform real-world management and conservation strategies. As species vanish at unprecedented rates, having accurate population data is more urgent than ever. Yet too often, flawed study designs and outdated techniques lead to wasted time, ill-used resources, and misleading conclusions. McClure equips researchers, students, and birders with the tools to design efficient studies that avoid common pitfalls and capture what's truly happening in bird populations. This guide explains the biological, statistical, and philosophical principles behind good monitoring and explores study designs for estimating key demographic rates like survival and reproduction. McClure surveys the techniques used to estimate populations and highlights methods prone to error. Throughout, he advocates for a shift away from traditional approaches toward more precise techniques available today, such as acoustic monitoring and occupancy modeling. Effective study design requires collaboration among wildlife managers, field biologists, and statisticians from the start, as well as flexibility for field conditions and methodological adaptability. Whether you're just beginning or reevaluating a long-standing program, How to Count Birds is a timely reminder that precision and planning are just as critical as passion in the work of conservation.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER ‘Typically exposing, brilliantly written' VOGUE ‘Its quick hits of wit are like sniffs from an oxygen mask’ NEW YORK TIMES 'Few people are willing to be as human as Lena Dunham’ OBSERVER 'A generational voice' FINANCIAL TIMES In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain. For the last decade, as she’s spent countless hours in doctor’s waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham’s body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It’s not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you – as a twenty-five-year-old – are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist’s office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it – even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she’s meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her – because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again – if only she could remember who that self was. As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame – from selling the pilot of Girls to the present – in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can’t protect you from pain – and begins to control your every move – being famous doesn’t stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience. In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can’t change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.
Kenneth More
Kenneth More was the living embodiment of British humour, steadfastness and resilience on the film screen and off. Born into a life of wealth in 1914, he fell into show business almost by accident and worked for nearly two decades – including at London’s famous Windmill Theatre – before becoming the icon we know today. After a long, distinguished stint in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, he was ‘discovered’ by Noël Coward and set on the road to fame. What followed was a string of films we have come to know as the most beloved classics of British cinema, such as Genevieve, Reach for the Sky, The 39 Steps, A Night to Remember, Sink the Bismarck! and Scrooge. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, his private life was almost as exciting as the roles he played. Following a string of affairs and eleven years of marriage, he made national headlines after running off with a young actress. Then, when a public spat with the head of Britain’s biggest movie studio damaged his career, he found a new home in television. On screen, Kenneth More fought some courageous battles, but his bravest fight came when Parkinson’s disease ended his career in the late 1970s. Nathan Morely has produced a fascinating and insightful biography of one of the most iconic and enduring legends of British cinema, with contributions from fellow actors and directors who worked with him. Among these are Martin Jarvis, Jane Asher, Chris Sarandon, Anneke Wills, Susan Penhaligon, Alvin Rakoff, Peter Medak, Barry MacGregor, and many others.
Landscapes
Landscapes showcases the development and practice of John Berger's unique way of seeing. Here he surveys the aesthetic landscapes that have informed, challenged and nourished his understanding of the world.
Berger pays homage to the writers and thinkers who influenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective embraces artistic movements and individual artists - from the Renaissance to the present - while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation.
Dionysos
A landmark account of the Dionysos myth as an archetypal expression of indestructible lifeNo other god of the Greeks is as widely present in the monuments and ritual practices of antiquity as Dionysos. In this book, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi presents an engaging history of the religion of Dionysos from its beginnings in the Minoan culture to its transition to a cosmic and cosmopolitan religion of late antiquity under the Roman Empire. From the wealth of Greek literary, epigraphic, and monumental traditions, Kerényi constructs a vivid picture of Dionysian worship, bringing to life the secret cult scenes of the women’s mysteries both within and beyond Attica, the mystic sacrificial rite at Delphi, and the great public Dionysian festivals at Athens. He shows how tragedy and New Comedy are high spiritual forms of the Dionysian religion and how the Dionysian element itself represents an important chapter in the religious history of Europe.
