Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the American author of "weird tales" who died in 1937 impoverished and relatively unknown, has become a twenty-first-century star, cropping up in places both anticipated and unexpected. Authors, filmmakers, and shapers of popular culture like Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Guillermo del Toro acknowledge his influence; his fiction is key to the work of posthuman philosophers and cultural critics such as Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker; and Lovecraft's creations have achieved unprecedented cultural ubiquity, even showing up on the animated program South Park.
The Age of Lovecraft is the first sustained analysis of Lovecraft in relation to twenty-first-century critical theory and culture, delving into troubling aspects of his thought and writings. With contributions from scholars including Gothic expert David Punter, historian W. Scott Poole, musicologist Isabella van Elferen, and philosopher of the posthuman Patricia MacCormack, this wide-ranging volume brings together thinkers from an array of disciplines to consider Lovecraft's contemporary cultural presence and its implications. Bookended by a preface from horror fiction luminary Ramsey Campbell and an extended interview with the central author of the New Weird, China Mieville, the collection addresses the question of "why Lovecraft, why now?" through a variety of approaches and angles.
A must for scholars, students, and theoretically inclined readers interested in Lovecraft, popular culture, and intellectual trends, The Age of Lovecraft offers the most thorough examination of Lovecraft's place in contemporary philosophy and critical theory to date as it seeks to shed light on the larger phenomenon of the dominance of weird fiction in the twenty-first century.

"What a gift this book is It is a gift for all who have lived and worked in the Wake Robin community, and for all who have watched this community take shape and then grow. ... And it is also a treasure trove of ideas and analyses for others interested in senior living, reflecting on what it means to age well and create an environment where that can happen. ... Wake Robin's experience does not provide all the answers, but this well-documented and thoughtful book is a learning lab, painting a picture of a community that helps create a vibrant life for seniors." -- Allie Stickney, former president and CEO of Wake Robin
Opened in 1993, Wake Robin was the first Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) and first Life Care Community in Vermont. Residents can move from independent living to increasing levels of support without a change in monthly fee (the Life Care promise). Today, some 25 years later, the community thrives. This book tells the story of Wake Robin's origins and contemporary life on its campus. It explores the culture and practices that have allowed Wake Robin to create and sustain a high quality of life and a strong sense of community and belonging--a context where residents realize their potential for continuing growth throughout their later years. Wake Robin's successful strategies are readily translatable to varied forms of senior congregate living and care settings. Thus, this book is recommended for all who are exploring senior housing and care options for themselves or their loved ones, as well as for senior housing and care professionals who are committed to improving settings designed for people in later life.

Описание: PREVENTING PARKINSON'S: HOW TO CUT YOUR RISK BY STRENGTHENING YOUR MULTIPLE SHIELDS(TM) is the only book available that gives readers proactive lifestyle recommendations for optimizing health and lowering the risk of developing Parkinson's Disease. With over 1,000 references, this extraordinary, groundbreaking work provides cutting-edge, evidence-based research. It is a comprehensive compilation that will benefit both lay people and medical professionals alike. From the Foreward, by Judith Potashkin, PhD: "...Although there are numerous studies that have addressed lifestyle choices that are beneficial for Parkinson's Disease patients, there is no single source that summarizes and explains them to the non-scientist. In PREVENTING PARKINSON'S: HOW TO CUT YOUR RISK BY STRENGTHENING YOUR MULTIPLE SHIELDS(TM), Ben Weinstock, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, has solved this problem. He has written a comprehensive (yet easy to understand) guidebook. This source will help those who choose to follow on a path of optimal health. Dr. Weinstock thoroughly evaluates how the synergy of diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, avoidance of toxins, prevention of head injuries, and proper medical care can reduce one's chance of developing Parkinson's Disease. Thorough citations from current medical literature are provided throughout for those who would like additional information. For the more casual reader, 'Action Plans' are provided at the end of each chapter. These summarize the steps one can take immediately to reduce one's risk of developing Parkinson's Disease."
