In a world where it is often expected that our later years of life will be a slow march toward inactivity and decreasing vitality, it can be challenging to make a conscious effort to age deliberately. Thankfully, it is possible to embrace the aging process and bring about changes that instigate joy, fulfillment, and fun as we gain years, wisdom, and experience. Steve Bannow and Tom Schneider, MD, draw upon their professional and personal experiences to share practical advice and illuminating insight that helps the aging population deal intelligently and holistically with virtually every important aspect of life and the aging process. Their guidebook not only includes their philosophies on aging, but also covers a wide range of topics that include innovative recommendations on how to: maintain a positive and healthy attitude; navigate through medical and dietary components of the aging process; remain productive after retirement; plan for the future; develop a sense of spirituality; and become comfortable with end-of-life decisions and challenges. Aging Deliberately shares new and exhilarating ways to stay mentally engaged, physically active, and happy as ever, no matter how many years we add to our lives.

What does loving deliberately mean to you? It may take a lot of thinking, soul-searching, and introspection to develop your own answer to this question—and even then, it could be difficult to spell out your thoughts into words. Loving Deliberately is a collection of what scores of individuals—some famous some not—have written on the subject. The responses vary widely but each has an importance all of its own. First in Traveling Deliberately, then in Aging Deliberately, and now in Loving Deliberately, Steve Bannow has completed his task of helping us truly understand the importance of being thoughtful, in the moment, and living life well—deliberately. Loving deliberately must be discovered over time and in stages. Getting there requires a true desire to do so. It requires experience, learning, and growth. Steve’s wish is that all who read this book will come away with a greater sense of who they are, what is most important to them, and why.

Psychologists, economists, historians, computer scientists, sociologists, philosophers, and legal scholars explore the conscious choice not to seek information. The history of intellectual thought abounds with claims that knowledge is valued and sought, yet individuals and groups often choose not to know. We call the conscious choice not to seek or use knowledge (or information) deliberate ignorance. When is this a virtue, when is it a vice, and what can be learned from formally modeling the underlying motives? On which normative grounds can it be judged? Which institutional interventions can promote or prevent it? In this book, psychologists, economists, historians, computer scientists, sociologists, philosophers, and legal scholars explore the scope of deliberate ignorance.

Written by experts in the field, this book explores the relevance and contributions of the field of human factors to health care. It begins with overviews of the field of human factors and the primary research methodologies of that field and goes on to review the cognitive issues that must be considered in the context of the health care environment and the potential for exercises to improve such cognitive functions. The remaining chapters cover a range of cutting-edge topics including: care giving, telecommunication issues, design of medical devices, computer monitoring of patients, automated communication systems, computer interface issues in general, and the use of the Web as a source for health information.

"Ps 71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion." The Deliberate Design of Destiny incorporates the great and courageous recent works of intelligent design scientists into a workable theory. This book answer the "Who, What, When, Where, Why and How" of creation from the Intelligent Design perspective. Understand the mystery kept secret since the world began. (Rom 16:25) The world blunders in confusion because largely the academic and industrial science institutions confuse the origins of human destiny and purpose. Their aversion to faith and their exclusion of God confuses their efforts to understand this Mystery keep secret since the world began. The Deliberate Design of Destiny explores the reason people, society and nations do not comprehend creation's design and purpose and become doomed to confusion and chaos. It explains how this ignorance allows the enemy of God to manipulate the world of men unto a destiny of destruction.

Explores the performance of aging in the "late style" of Günter Grass, Ruth Klüger, Christa Wolf, and Martin Walser. Demographers say that by the year 2060, every seventh person in Germany will be aged eighty or older, and every third person over sixty-five. The prediction for other Western countries is scarcely different. Indeed, the aging society is seen by some as a graver threat than even global warming, with potentially unmanageable tensions relating to intergenerational relationships, work and benefits, and flows of people. This book explores the representation and performance of aging in recent "late-style" German-language fiction. It situates the authors chosen as case studies -- Günter Grass, Ruth Klüger, Christa Wolf, and Martin Walser -- in their biographical and social contexts and explores the significance of their aesthetic figuring of aging for debates raging both in Germany and internationally. In particular, the book looks at gender, generations, and trauma and their impact on how writers "narrativize" aging. Finally, it examines the "timeliness" of these different representations and late-style performances of aging in the context of the shift of social, political, and economic power away from the declining societies of theWest to the ascendant societies of the East. Stuart Taberner is Professor of Contemporary German Literature, Culture, and Society at the University of Leeds.

The destruction and deposition of metalwork is a widely recognised phenomenon across Bronze Age Europe. Weapons were decommissioned and thrown into rivers; axes were fragmented and piled in hoards; and ornaments were crushed, contorted and placed in certain landscapes. Interpretation of this material is often considered in terms of whether such acts should be considered ritual offerings, or functional acts for storing, scrapping and recycling the metal. This book approaches this debate from a fresh perspective, by focusing on how the metalwork was destroyed and deposited as a means to understand the reasons behind the process. To achieve this, this study draws on experimental archaeology, as well as developing a framework for assessing what can be considered deliberate destruction. Understanding these processes not only helps us to recognise how destruction happened, but also gives us insights into the individuals involved in these practices. Through an examination of metalwork from south-west Britain, it is possible to observe the complexities involved at a localised level in the acts of destruction and deposition, as well as how they were linked to people and places. This case study is used to consider the social role of destruction and deposition more broadly in the Bronze Age, highlighting how it transformed over time and space.
