Download or read book All Joy and No Fun written by Jennifer Senior and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior now asks: what are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources—in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology—she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand new, and then brings her research to life in the homes of ordinary parents around the country. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with parents of young children and progressing to parents of teens. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers as they wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations—and luxuriate in some of its finest rewards. Meticulously researched yet imbued with emotional intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and essential reading for mothers and fathers of today—and tomorrow.

Download or read book Not Another Second written by Ines Newby and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not Another Second" tells the stories of 12 LGBT+ seniors. It details the years they lost to societal constraints, years where they were not able to be their authentic selves or openly express their love. It also tells of the triumphs they experienced over these constraints. This book acknowledges and celebrates the sacrifices, bravery and contributions of these seniors and offers wisdom to future generations in the hopes that not one person will lose another second. LGBT+ seniors born in the 1930s, '40s and '50s are the brave pioneers who stood up and pushed back, refusing to be treated as social outcasts, criminals and sinners or seen as mentally ill. Their living legacy includes hard-won federal rights for LGBT+ members to legally marry, adopt, work and seek housing and health care without discrimination. Now in their sixties, seventies and eighties, the 3 million LGBT+ seniors currently living in the United States want subsequent generations to learn from their living history, to be inspired to stand on their shoulders and to continue to fight for what's right. A collaboration between the trailblazing nonprofit SAGE and Watermark Retirement Communities, this book gives readers a candid glimpse into the private and public lives of Pearl, Nick, Mark, Paul, Paulette, Pat, Lujira, Ellie, Reverend Kennedy, Ronnie, Ray and Richard. They are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Their generation led the Stonewall Uprising, founded Act Up and helped end "don't ask, don't tell." These seniors are presented through a series of more than 100 portraits interspersed with stories of their experiences as members of the LGBT+ community. Each moving portrait, captured by noted German photographer Karsten Thormaehlen, is accompanied by the number of years lost, years when they could not live as their true self beyond their inner circle of trusted friends and family. All proceeds collected from the sale of this book will be donated to Watermark for Kids, a nonprofit organization, in support of LGBT+ young people.

Download or read book Love Stories of Later Life written by Amanda Smith Barusch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even with baby boomers retiring and greater media and research attention being lavished on older people, most gerontologists have studiously avoided examining romance among the elderly. Love Stories of Later Life is an appealing and eye-opening remedy to this neglect, as leading gerontologist Amanda Smith Barusch presents original research into what love and romance mean in seniors' lives. The result is a glimpse into a world many people didn't know existed - that of romantic love in later life. Unlike superficial guidebooks that purport to help seniors find a new mate, Love Stories of Later Life integrates theory and the latest research on love and the aging process. Drawing on a wealth of personal narratives collected during a landmark five-year study, the book presents the lived experiences of older adults from all walks of life. It addresses the impact of common age-related changes, both emotional and physical, on romantic relationships, and argues that love continues to sculpt our personalities and our lives, even in life's later decades. Each chapter includes practical tools for the serious student of love, including exercises designed to increase self-awareness and relationship-building as well as annotated lists of suggested reading that are at once comprehensive and accessible. Barusch's fresh perspective, engaging voice, and in-depth qualitative research make Love Stories of Later Life an important contribution to the study of individual lives and the aging process. This book will guide gerontologists, social workers, and counselors as they in turn help their older clients navigate love's challenges. Visit the author's website: Amanda Barusch
