Some 400,000 hip fractures occur every year, the vast majority among the elderly; all too often these fractures are associated with death or severe disability. After her mother's double hip fracture, Luisa Margolies immersed herself in identifying and coordinating the services and professionals needed to provide critical care for an elderly person. She soon realized that the American medical system is ill prepared to deal with the long-term care needs of our graying society. The heart of My Mother's Hip is taken up with the author's day-to-day observations as her mother's condition worsened, then improved only to worsen again, while her father became increasingly anxious and disoriented. As both a devoted daughter and a skilled anthropologist, Margolies vividly renders her interactions with physicians, nurses, hospital workers, nursing home administrators, the Medicare bureaucracy, home care providers, and her parents. In the Lessons chapter that follows each episode, she discusses in a broader context the weighty decisions that adult children must make on their parents' behalf and the emotional toll their responsibility takes. Here she addresses the complex practical issues that commonly arise in such situations: understanding the consequences of hip fracture and its treatment, preparing health care proxies and advanced directives, enabling elders to remain at home, and the heartbreaking dilemma of prolonging life. Like many adult children, Margolies learned her lessons about eldercare in the midst of crises. This book is intended to ease the information-gathering and decision-making processes for others involved in eldercare.

Most career books are focused either on how to find a job when youre fired, or how to build a particular skill, such as resume-writing or interview-taking. Leaving the Mother Ship is the only book targeted to those already gainfully employed, that answers the following three questions:When should you leave, where should you go, and finding success once you have left. The book guides readers through a series of diagnostic exercises, and provides numerous anecdotes to illustrate each point. It is filled with practical, hands-on advice on how to leave not just theories.

A dazzling, evidence-based account of one man’s quest to heal from complex PTSD by turning to endangered coral reefs and psychedelic plants after traditional therapies failed—and his awakening to the need for us to heal the planet as well. Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, “The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological.” What he’s never told them is how he’s lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother. Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership is not just a queer coming-of-age story. It’s a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, this is his search for wholeness when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Along the way, as his ecological conscience wakes up, he takes readers underwater to the last pristine reefs on earth, and into the psyche. Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it’s too late.

Eliot is 18 and under severe stress. There's no girlfriend in sight, his best mate has stopped swearing and his pregnant step-mum is even more stressed than he is.... and then, having got the call from outer space to say that The Mother Ship is leaving and coming to take him home, his disabled brother Gerry disappears. And it's all Eliot's fault. A riotous chase kicks off involving a love-lorn lifeguard, a policeman who believes in the existence of Klingons and a car that can turn into a boat. The Mother Ship is a fantastically funny new adventure about what it means to be young, to be different, or just to believe in something beyond the ordinary. The Mother Ship opened at the Birmingham Rep in February 2008 and was awarded the Brian Way Award for Best Play for Young People 2009.

Mothership 2012: Members of a soul group meet only in passing, but they share the same mission: To heal the delicate consciousness of Planet Earth (Gaia), and assist Her in assuming Her right place, as the Galactic Heart, Bride of Spirit. Preface: Samantha-El grew up on the ruined remains of Earth a century after an accidental Total Nuclear Exchange in 1999 killed billions of people and rendered most of the planet uninhabitable. A few thousand families had been able to evade the forced evacuation and followed their inner guidance to secluded safe zones, where they have been living ever since. Now, the ex-snack company Hydra Corp. wants to buy the planet as a whole and turn it into an enormous power station. To clear the way for construction, they are stepping up the brutal evictions. Samantha-El goes into a cellular memory regression, to figure out why the Galactic Council wants her, at only 15 years old, to be the first Council representative from Earth . . . and the one to broker her home planet's sale. Part One: The Immortal Alana Peters was raised in a meditation community in the 1970's, doing yoga, chanting, learning Sanskrit and studying the chakras. She was taught that “God Lives in You, As You,” and that all of life is a dance between the energies of God and Goddess. This didn't always make sense to her: If God and Goddess are so happy and in love, why is there still violence, grief and dissatisfaction on Earth? She decides after college graduation, that she will set out into the world, to see where Life guides her to be of service. But she never expected to meet the ACTUAL God. In Denver, Colorado. In Bed! But, Nico's not really a God. He's just a 5,000 year old Extraterrestrial teenager, trying to figure out how to make the world a better place. Even if it means killing off his wicked loved ones, one by one. The year was 1989 . . . The Shift had begun.
