Both helpful and timely this carer's resource includes dedicated sections on working in the long term care environment, protecting the person being cared for, and assisting with daily living and with specific care needs such as dementia and mental health issues.

Stories in Ageing 2e presents an insightful collection of personal stories as told by a range of older people, carers, health professionals and family members. This unique resource offers nursing students and health professionals an extraordinary perspective on a range of topics related to ageing, including assisting and caring for the older person, the experience of ageing within a culturally diverse society, sexuality in the later years, maintaining independence at home and positive experiences of ageing.

Available as a print or eBook, this valuable resource builds empathy and understanding, and provides examples of innovative approaches to care with a focus on reflection, inquiry and action. The teaching and learning strategies assist in developing skills, attitudes and mindfulness around ageing, with a strong focus on a person-centred and lived approach.

A unique multilayered structure also promotes engagement with learners across diverse educational levels, ranging from certificate qualifications through to the undergraduate and postgraduate student.

Most importantly, Stories in Ageing provides a much-needed consumer voice for the older person, their families and their carers.

Originally published in 1937, the text used is from the first of two fifteenth-century cookery books edited by Thomas Austin and published in 1888 for the Early English Text Society. The recipes are presented as they would have been at the time of original publication, with the exceptions of a few modern words, which have been substituted and occasional alteration made in spelling and punctuation. A diverse range of recipes is included, ranging from 'Gyngerbrede' to 'Flowrys of hawthorn', most of which give attention to and place emphasis on spices. This book will be a valued gem in the historical landscape of culinary arts, shedding much light on the history of food preservation and consumption in Roman Britain through to the Middle Ages, and will be greatly appreciated by anyone interested in British cuisine, British history and historical linguistics.
