Blue Fox Publishing Fishing Memories
Book SynopsisLethe is stuck on a desert island, with no recollection of how he got there. His only hope of salvation is to fish memories that float in the sea and, with them, regain his identity and try to escape. An allegory of those who suffer their last days with Alzheimer’s disease.Trade ReviewThis is a journey on what it is to be human, what it means to have lived a life, and what it means to watch both slip away. This is the type of art that connects us not with a hammer or a catchphrase, but with a soft-spoken word and an open heart. This is a journey that you owe to yourself to take, to live here for but a scant number of pages while the team’s work plucks at you. Everyone will take this path differently, but it is one guided by masters. They feel this deeply and have conveyed that depth to the page for us to plumb with them. -- Erik Cheski * Fanbase Press *"The creative team band together to guide us through a story about one man's struggle with Alzheimers in a world that's both familiar & unfamiliar in his own mind - heartbreakingly beautiful." -- Gary Watson * Comics Anonymous *"This is a book that reminds us of an important part of our humanity." -- Daredevils and Warriors * Daredevils and Warriors *"...absolutely gripping...a beautiful and fascinating journey." -- James Ferguson * Comicon *

Barlow Publishing Save Your Mind Seven Rules to Avoid Dementia
Book SynopsisThis practical and informative book says that you can avoid dementia and the loss of control that accompanies this brain disease by following the author's seven specific rules to exercise the brain and body. From the winner of Canada's most prestigious science award, The Canada Gairdner Awards, this book also offers an authoritative and easy-to-understand explanation of how the brain works and what happens when dementia afflicts it. Author Dr. Antoine Hakim tells about some of the mind-blowing research that shows how elderly nuns maintained their cognitive abilities even though their brains displayed the physical signs of Alzheimer's. He argues that you can build up a defensive system, a cognitive reserve, to protect your mind if you have a stroke. It's even possible to reverse the early signs of dementia. Save Your Mind is an essential book for anyone who wants to take proactive steps to prevent dementia and the loss of mental control.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG und nichts vergessen?!: Die gesellschaftliche
Book SynopsisDemenz ist eine gesellschaftliche Herausforderung! Wir dürfen den Umgang damit nicht in die Pflegeheime verbannen und nicht in den Familien verstecken. Wir reden viel über Demenz. Mehr über Menschen mit Demenz als mit ihnen. Mehr über eine ungewisse Zukunft als darüber, was in der Gegenwart zu tun ist. Mehr über befürchtete Einschränkungen als über verbleibende Möglichkeiten. Allerorten wird die alternde Gesellschaft beschworen, wird das Bild einer zunehmend verwirrten und pflegebedürftigen Bevölkerung der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert, für die immer weniger Pflegepersonen bereitstehen werden, geschweige denn das Geld, sie als Dienstleister zu bezahlen. Burkhard Plemper setzt sich aus einem anderen Blickwinkel mit der Demenz auseinander. Er stellt gesellschaftliche Reaktionen in den Mittelpunkt. Der Soziologe lässt die Leser teilhaben am ersten öffentlichen Auftritt einer inzwischen bekannten Aktivistin, die ihr Pseudonym ablegt hat und nun offen mit ihrer Demenz umgeht, an der Verzweiflung und der Hoffnung des Juristen, der trotz der mitunter erdrückenden Fürsorglichkeit seiner Frau noch ein gutes Leben haben will. Eine Demenz weckt Ängste, vor allem, wenn keine Ursache erkennbar ist. Das macht das, was als Alzheimer bezeichnet wird, so unheimlich: die Furcht vor dem Kontrollverlust, vor Veränderung, gar Verfall der Persönlichkeit. Diese Angst gipfelt in der Aussage Lieber tot als dement, vor allem, wenn Symptome wie Verwirrtheit nicht erst in hohem Lebensalter auftreten. Wie leben Menschen mit Demenz und ihre Angehörigen? Demenz ist eine gesellschaftliche Herausforderung und geht alle an. Sie ist eine Aufgabe der Zivilgesellschaft. Burkhard Plemper stellt Mut machende Ideen vor und Mut machende Menschen, die sich ihrer Demenzstellen. Gemeinsame Sorge ist so viel mehr als Pflege.

Transcript Verlag Popularizing Dementia: Public Expressions and
Book SynopsisHow are individual and social ideas of late-onset dementia shaped and negotiated in film, literature, the arts, and the media? And how can the symbolic forms provided by popular culture be adopted and transformed by those affected in order to express their own perspectives? This international and interdisciplinary volume summarizes central current research trends and opens new theoretical and empirical perspectives on dementia in popular culture. It includes contributions by internationally renowned scholars from the humanities, social and cultural gerontology, age(ing) studies, cultural studies, philosophy, and bioethics. Contributions by Lucy Burke, Marlene Goldman, Annette Leibing and others.Trade Review"The volume provides pieces of exciting new research on the topic, and will probably spark much follow-up. It looks back into the history of media coverage concerning dementia, it gives an insight into what is happening at the moment, and it raises many reasoned questions for the future. Besides, it not only has a normative aspect to it, but strongly advocates for the rights of people with dementia. This makes it a very useful and productive groundwork for scholars and activists alike." Susanne K. Christ, KULT_online, 46 (2016)
