The Alzheimer's Creativity Project: The Caregiver's Ultimate Guide to a Good Day; Communication and Activities in the World of Alzheimer's
by Jytte Fogh LokvigCreative activities for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias in an easy-to-follow format for professionals and family caregivers. A full-color guide to projects, art making, and other purposeful activities, as well as the basics of effective communication and approaches. This book is based on ten years of creativity sessions with people with advanced dementia and late stage Alzheimer's. Creativity is used not simply in the popular terms of the creative arts, but rather in its broadest sense of how we approach everything we do throughout the day. Creativity means letting go of our old notions of doing something, being open to new experiences and allowing ourselves to be open to think out of the box and go with the flow and ebb of our situation and the people we work with. When we discard our standard activity programs and give people the space and time to follow their own schedules, we may witness amazing results, as you'll see in this book.

The American Reader: A Brief Guide to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights
by Worth BooksThe three most important documents in American history—expanded and explained. In the centuries since the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, as well as its Bill of the Rights, the liberties set forth within these documents have faced many challenges, including war, unrest, political debate, and legal disputes. Such trials persist today, but the initial strength of our founding papers—shining as beacons of hope and freedom to America and beyond—continues to stand the test of time. Now, The American Reader provides a brief summary and analysis of these landmark documents: examining constitutional interpretation, specifically originalism vs. living Constitution; exploring the Declaration&’s &“saving principles,&” expressed by Frederick Douglass, one of many influential leaders referenced in this concise guide; and more. Also included are noteworthy facts about the founding fathers, a detailed timeline of events, and other fascinating trivia. At a time when our understanding of individual liberties in America is especially imperative, this essential reference puts our country&’s foundational beliefs into much-needed modern perspective.
The American Republic: Primary Sources
by Bruce FrohnenMany reference works offer compilations of critical documents covering individual liberty, local autonomy, constitutional order, and other issues that helped to shape the American political tradition. Yet few of these works are available in a form suitable for classroom use, and traditional textbooks give short shrift to these important issues. The American Republic overcomes that knowledge gap by providing, in a single volume, critical, original documents revealing the character of American discourse on the nature and importance of local government, the purposes of federal union, and the role of religion and tradition in forming America’s drive for liberty. By bringing together key original documents and other writings that explain cultural, religious, and historical concerns, this volume gives students, teachers, and general readers an effective way to begin examining the diversity of issues and influences that characterize American history. The result unquestionably leads to a more thorough understanding of America’s political, institutional, and cultural continuity and change. Bruce Frohnen is an Associate Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University College of Law.
