Menneskets vækst og udvikling

Bestselleren Leg med din baby indeholder idéer til lege og aktiviteter, som kan leges sammen med det lille barn under 1 år. Barnets fysisk og motorik er grundlaget for hele dets tidligere udvikling og har stor betydning for både de sociale, psykiske og intellektuelle færdigheder. Derfor er det ikke ligegyldigt, hvor meget vi tumler med vores børn – og hvordan. Ideen med denne bog er at inspirere forældre på en sjov og håndgribelig måde, så leg og bevægelse bliver en naturlig del af hverdagen med et lille barn i huset. Med bogen i hånden er det både nemt og overkommeligt at kaste sig ud i nye og lidt anderledes lege og aktiviteter med sit barn.

Peter Lund Madsens ”Dr. Zukaroffs testamente – En bog om menneskehjernen” er en unik bog. Peter Lund Madsen er en af Danmarks bedste hjerneforskere, men han er også en blændende formidler med sans for gode, interessante og overraskende historier.Hjerneforskning er måske ikke lige hvermandskost, og derfor har forfatteren foretaget et genialt træk. Han har lavet en rammehistorie, der netop er med til at formidle det svære stof, en rammehistorie, der er så spændende, at den driver læseren videre.   Det er historien om Dr. Zukaroff, der opsøger Peter Lund Madsen og hjælper ham til at få skrevet den bog, der nu udkommer – og samtidig får vi fortalt Dr. Zukaroffs fantastiske skæbne.   Men selve bogens kerne er selvfølgelig en gennemgang af, hvordan menneskehjernen fungerer. Vi historier og eksempler forklares først dyrehjernen og siden menneskehjernen. Hvad er det, der gør mennesker så unikke, hvad er det vores hjerne kan, som ingen anden hjerne kan?   Bogen er velskrevet og rent sprogligt let læst. Men det er jo store emner Peter Lund Madsen har oppe at vende, så om den er lige så let at forstå, ja det er op til den enkelte læser, det enkelte individ.   Lydbogen er indlæst af Dan Schlosser

Ny opdateret udgave. ”Dr. Zukaroffs testamente” er Peter Lund Madsens bud på en bog om menneskehjernen. Det er fortællingen om den stedse mere avancerede hjernes triumftog gennem naturhistorien. Fra den primitive hydra til den omstillingsparate menneskehjerne. En sammenhængende beskrivelse af det, som gør os til mennesker. Hvor kommer følelserne fra, og hvad skal vi med dem? Tjener vore drømme et formål? Hvad er formålet med at have en bevidsthed? Fødes vi med viljen til at gøre det gode? Hvorfor er hjernens belønningscenter den største fare, der truer menneskeheden i dag? Disse spørgsmål, og flere til, søges besvaret. Bogen giver en grundlæggende introduktion til den moderne hjerneforskning. Når man har læst denne bog, så ved man det meste af det, man som privatperson bør vide om menneskehjernen. Ved man det, så er der pludselig rigtig mange ting, der falder på plads, man bliver stolt af at være menneske. Bogen er lige ud ad landevejen og umiddelbart ret nem at forstå. Der er lagt et stort arbejde i at gøre det komplicerede klart og lettilgængeligt. Men man skal ikke lade sig narre. Der står en hel del mellem linjerne. Først når man har læst og forstået denne bog, ved man, hvem dr. Zukaroff er, og hvorfor bogen tjener som hans testamente. Rigt illustreret med fotos, forklarende tegninger samt kurver og figurer.

Velfærdsstaten var revolutionerende: Den løftede tusinder ud af fattigdom, gav anstændige hjem, god uddannelse og sikkerhed. Men i dag er den blevet til et omfattende og dyrt system til administrering af behov og risici. Velfærdsstaten er et industrielt system og dens institutioner og serviceydelser afspejler den æra, den blev udformet i. I dag står vi over for nye udfordringer. Global opvarmning, massemigration, demografiske forandringer, kroniske sygdomsepidemier, bekymringer for sikkerheden og voksende ulighed er problemer, som hører vor tid til, og de eksisterende systemer kan ikke håndtere og da slet ikke løse dem. Vores ressourcer er ændret. Denne bog handler om at gennemføre en radikal overgang, der opgiver det 20. århundredes besættelse af styring og administration og af at lappe folk sammen igen, når det er gået galt. I stedet skal fokus rettes mod at støtte den enkelte, familierne og lokalsamfundene i at udvikle deres egne kapabiliteter: lære, arbejde, leve sundt og tage kontakt med hinanden. Moderne velfærd er til for at kultivere sådanne kapabilitet, frem for at administrere menneskelig afhængighed. Bogen giver konkrete bud på, hvordan vi kan genforstå og re-designe velfærdsstaten til dette århundrede, ved at beskrive fem 'eksperimenter', der viser os et nyt design af familieliv, opvækst, arbejdsliv, sundhed og alderdom. Kernen i denne måde at arbejde på er menneskelige forbindelser. Radikal hjælp beskriver principperne bag tilgangen, designprocessen, som gør arbejdet muligt og udfordringerne ved overgangen. Det drejer sig om konkrete nye måder at organisere os på, der allerede har udviklet sig over hele Storbritannien. Radikal hjælp skaber en ny vision og en radikalt anderledes tilgang, der igen kan tage vare på os fra vugge til grav.

Livet som midaldrende mand er bestemt ikke for sarte sjæle. Udfordringer som nattepisseri, iskiassmerter, sportsskader, briller med glidende overgang og begyndende rejsningsproblemer kræver så absolut sin mand.Det må Elvis og hans tre trofaste venner, Kesse, Krølle og Bo, sande på deres rejse ind i de voksnes rækker. Heldigvis har Elvis Conny ved sin side. Med sin skarpe tunge og præcise udmeldinger er hun, som Elvis udtrykker det, den fjerde statsmagt, men også en klippefast støtte. I en tid, hvor skilsmisser er en helt naturlig løsning på forbigående kriser i forholdet, kommer vi tæt på et ægteskab, der stadig emmer af kærlighed, om end tonen til tider er kontant.En sølvrævs bekendelser er en humoristisk fortælling om kunsten at blive en midaldrende mand med værdighed, men også om at finde ro i nogle af livets store erkendelser som fx en indædt afsky for rucola, uvilje mod yoga og forundring over kvinders overdrevne brug af emojis. En bog skrevet af en mand om mænd, men i høj grad også om forholdet mellem mænd og kvinder.

Men med udgivelsen af denne bog springer René Foli ud af ledelsesskabet og ind i bøgernes verden.E-bogen er lavet i fixed format

Rasmus Lund har tidligere haft digte i Hvedekorn, moder vækst er hans prosadebut. Uddrag fra bogen: ”kom, kære væsen, kom og vis mig det vækstropocentriske, kom og vis mig de unge vækster og lad mig gøde deres udvikling. lad mig se dem vokse op som mellemstore vækster og sige: vi er private vækstsomheder, kom og spejl jer i vores runde glasfacader! kom og styrk vores brand og plej vores image, kom og gå vores ærinder og begå vores ærinder! kom og vær en del af vækstskabet. sprøjt talvæksten så den muterer på bundlinjen, smag væksticiderne når de fester i grundvæksten. forvækst dig i mine vækstgrå øjne og den vækstblå himmel. tro på vækstligheden, elsk din vækste.”

A book for men and women from middle age to advanced years who have suddenly and unexpectedly become confronted with the huge effects that the male prostate can have on the body. It is a tale of what can happen to both men and women when the prostate transforms over time as the body changes, free of any of the minor or major taboos surrounding those involved.The book presents both a subjective and an objective account, from a female and a male perspective, of what the prostate is and of the physical, psychological and social effects that changes to the prostate can bring as one ages or reaches old age. The latest medical, psychotherapeutic and social measures available to help men with prostate issues and their partners are discussed. It also addresses the therapeutic taboos that have previously prevented us from attempting a systemic approach to the physical, psychological and social transformation that men and women undergo when they reach middle age and beyond.

Life in its many forms is intertwined in manifold ways. Making the coexistence of different beings and worlds tangible through an exploration of objects, stories and works of art, this book shows that in many regions of the earth, our co-world is experienced as an animated being. Mountains and rivers are not just resources or backdrops to human endeavors, but powerful sources of life; plants and animals are not just food, but companions; ancestors and spirits influence everyday life. Understood in this way, local perspectives and alternative forms of social coexistence provide pathways to shared futures. A great variety of international authors tell stories of interwoven lives that invite us empathically and informed to rethink our relationships with the world.

Using the latest research combined with traditional herb lore, this book sets out how to stay healthy and happy into old age and beyond

Congratulations! You have been given about 20 more years to live than your grandparents. But does that just mean a longer decline?Berit Lewis shows that the story we so often tell ourselves about ageing - that it's all downhill from 50 - is simply wrong. In fact, research reveals we are at our happiest aged 80! Combining her extensive experience in teaching mindfulness with her knowledge of how to live and age well, she reveals a simple framework that can help you make the most out of those extra years of living. Rather than wait for society to solve the challenges of longevity, she invites us to explore what each of us can do to take responsibility for our own life and ageing process.Ageing Upwards will help you navigate life after 50 with acceptance, self-compassion and mental flexibility. It's also invaluable to leaders who wants overcome unconscious beliefs, limitations and discriminations related to age to create more diverse organizations.

Through the lenses of three time-honored metaphors for thinking about life - life as story, life as journey, and life as adventure - William Randall and Gary Kenyon see wisdom not as an unattainable ideal nor as the sole province of experts or educators, geniuses, therapists, or saints. Rather, the see it as potentially within reach of everyone, not as a commodity but as a quality of life; as a matter of being, not of having. Insofar as everyone of us is on a journey and has (or is) a story, everyone of us has access to a type of wisdom that can be called "ordinary wisdom", and that it behooves us to explore and express. Besides being of great relevance to thoughtful older adults themselves, seeking to age as positively and wisely as they can, this book will be of particular interest to theorists, researchers, and students of the process of aging, working in a variety of disciplines and fields, including gerontology and psychology, psychotherapy and theology, philosophy and education.

Within our collective grasp dwells the remarkable possibility of the abolition of biological aging. It's a big "if", but if we decide as a species to make this project a priority, there's around a 50% chance that practical rejuvenation therapies resulting in the comprehensive reversal of aging will be widely available as early as 2040. People everywhere, on the application of these treatments, will, if they wish, stop becoming biologically older. Instead, again if they wish, they'll start to become biologically younger, in both body and mind, as rejuvenation therapies take hold. In short, everyone will have the option to become ageless. The viewpoint just described is a position the author has reached following extensive research, carried out over more than ten years. His research has led him to become a strong supporter of what can be called "the rejuveneering project": a multi-decade cross-disciplinary endeavour to engineer human rejuvenation and thereby enable the choice to abolish aging. But this viewpoint frequently encounters one of two adverse reactions. First, people say that it's not possible that such treatments are going to exist in any meaningful timescale any time soon. In other words, they insist that human rejuvenation can't be done. It's wishful thinking to suppose otherwise, they say. It's bad science. It's naively over-optimistic. It's ignorant of the long history of failures in this field. The technical challenges remain overwhelmingly difficult. Second, people say that any such treatments would be socially destructive and morally indefensible. In other words, they insist that human rejuvenation shouldn't be done. It's essentially a selfish idea, they say - an idea with all kinds of undesirable consequences for societal harmony or planetary well-being. It's an arrogant idea, from immature minds. It's an idea that deserves to be strangled. Can't; shouldn't - this books argues that both these objections are profoundly wrong. It argues instead that rejuvenation is a noble, highly desirable, eminently practical destiny for our species - a "Humanity+" destiny that could be achieved within just one human generation from now. In the author's view, the abolition of aging is set to take its place on the upward arc of human social progress, echoing developments such as the abolition of slavery, the abolition of racism, and the abolition of poverty. This is a discussion with enormous consequences. Changes in the public mood regarding the desirability of rejuveneering could trigger large reallocations of both public and private research expenditure. In turn, these reallocations are likely to have major implications in many areas of public well-being. Clearly, these decisions need to be taken wisely - with decisions being guided by a better understanding of the rich landscape of rejuveneering possibilities. Due to complexities and unknowns, no one can be sure of the outcome of this project. Despite what some rejuvenation enthusiasts may suggest, there's nothing inevitable about the pace of future medical progress. That's why the author gives the probability of success as only around 50%. Although the end outcome remains unclear, the sense of discovery is increasing. The underlying scientific context is changing rapidly. Every day brings its own fresh firehose of news of potential breakthrough medical approaches. In the midst of so much innovation, it behoves us to seek clarity on the bigger picture. To the extent that this book can provide that bigger picture, it will have met at least some of its goals. Armed with that bigger picture, readers of this book will, hopefully, be better placed to find the aspect of the overall rejuveneering project where they can make their best contributions. Together, we can tilt that 50% success probability upwards. The sooner, the better. Note: For advance feedback on this book, see https: //theabolitionofaging.com/.

What if growing old didn't have to mean being obsolete or over the hill? What if, instead, it meant being classic, venerable and wise? What if it meant writing the novel you've always wanted to write, or painting, or singing, or teaching, or traveling to a place you've always dreamed of? In gOld, Harry J. Getzov introduces us to many of the extraordinary senior citizens he has interviewed from all walks of life as part of the Eldercation project he created to promote the concept of positive aging. These folks talk freely about lessons learned and wisdom gained and share their feelings about aging, demonstrating that life after 65 can, indeed, be passionate and beautiful. A precious treasure lies hidden within our older population waiting to be revealed. gOld opens the door to its revelation and suggests that it is time to change the way we think about aging and about our elder citizens.
