The 36-Hour Day | Johns Hopkins University Press Books



After 35 years, it is still the indispensable guide for countless families and professionals who take care of someone with dementia.

Through five editions, The 36-Hour Day has been an essential resource for families who love and care for people with Alzheimer's disease. If a person has Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, they will face a variety of problems. The 36-hour day will help family members and health professionals to face these challenges and simultaneously meet their emotions and needs.

With helpful takeaway messages and informed by recent research into the causes and search for therapies to prevent or treat dementia, this edition includes new information on

• devices to make life easier and safer for people with dementia
• strategies to delay behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms
• changes in state health care and other health insurance laws
• palliative care, hospital care, long-term power of attorney and protection
• dementia due to head injury
• choice of a residential care facility
• support groups for health workers, friends and family

The central idea behind the book - that much can be done to improve the lives of people with dementia and those who care for them - remains the same. 36-Hour Day is the definitive guide to treating dementia.

Open Book: A Memoir

Includes six new songs by Jessica Simpson, available exclusively in the  Open Book  audiobook. Performed by the author featuring her music throughout. Jessica reveals for the first time her inner monologue and most intimate struggles. Guided by the journals she's kept since age 15, and brimming with her unique humor and down-to-earth humanity,  Open Book  is as inspiring as it is entertaining. This was supposed to be a very different book. Five years ago, Jessica Simpson was approached to write a motivational guide to living your best life. She walked away from the offer, and nobody understood why. The truth is that she didn’t want to lie.  Jessica couldn’t be authentic with her listeners if she wasn’t fully honest with herself first.  Now, America’s Sweetheart, preacher’s daughter, pop phenomenon, reality TV pioneer, and the billion-dollar fashion mogul invites listeners on a remarkable journey, examining a life that blessed her with the compassion to help others but also burdened

This box set has a good value: eight books for around $ 23. However, the box they come in is disappointing. It is made of very thin cardboard and is almost half an inch too wide for the books it contains. As a result, the sides folded when it was wrapped in film and are still slightly folded and curved after being discarded. If you think books are good value on their own, you probably won't be disappointed, but if you're looking for the added value of a nice box to put them in, keep looking. The har

How to stay healthy and boost immunity with #1  New York Times bestselling author Dr. Joel Fuhrman's no-nonsense, results-driven nutrition plan. As a family physician for over 30 years and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Fuhrman , M.D. will tell you that doctors and medications cannot grant you excellent health or protection from disease and suffering. The most effective health-care is proper self-care and that starts with changing the way we eat.   Eat for Life  delivers a science-backed nutrition-based program that prevents and even reverses most medical problems within three to six months. This is a bold claim but the science and the tens of thousands who have tried this approach back it up.   The truth is: you simply do not have to be sick.   Most Americans are deficient in the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in plants (micronutrients), and consume too many fats, proteins, carbohydrates (macronutrients). The results of this standard diet is that we are not
