Traditionally, the most preferred social research methods in dementia studies have been interviews, focus groups and non-participant observations. Most of these methods have been used for a long time by researchers in other social research fields, but their application to the field of dementia studies is a relatively new phenomenon.A ground-breaking book, Social Research Methods in Dementia Studies shows researchers how to adapt their methods of data collection to address the individual needs of someone who is living with dementia. With an editorial team that includes Ann Johnson, a trained nurse and person living with dementia, this enlightening volume mainly draws its contents from two interdisciplinary social research teams in dementia, namely the Center for Dementia Research [CEDER] at Linköping University in Norrköping, Sweden and the Dementia and Ageing Research Team [DART] at The University of Manchester in Manchester, UK. Case examples are shared in each of the main chapters to help ground the social research method(s) in a real-life context and provide direction as to how learning can be applied to other settings. Chapters also contain key references and recommended reading.This volume will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as: Research Methods, Qualitative Methods and Dementia Studies.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Selection series comes this sweeping standalone fantasy romance. A girl with a secret. The boy of her dreams. An ocean between them. Throughout the ages, the Ocean has occasionally rescued young women from drowning. To repay their debt, these young women must serve for 100 years as Sirens, remaining young and beautiful and using their deadly voices to lure strangers into watery graves. To keep their true nature secret, Sirens must never speak to humans, and must be careful never to stay in the same place for too long. But once her century of service is over, each Siren gets a chance to start over - a chance to live the mortal life that was almost stolen from her. Kahlen became a Siren after her family died in a terrible shipwreck, decades ago. And though a single word from her can kill, she can't resist spending her days on land, watching ordinary people and longing for the day when she will be able to speak and laugh and live freely among them again. Kahlen is resigned to finishing her sentence in solitude...until she meets Akinli. Handsome, caring, and kind, Akinli is everything Kahlen ever dreamed of. And though she can't talk to him, they soon forge a connection neither of them can deny...and Kahlen doesn't want to. Falling in love with a human breaks all of the Ocean's rules, and if the Ocean discovers Kahlen's feelings, she'll be forced to leave Akinli for good. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart.

Come può essere un quartiere di Torino che si chiama Barriera di Milano? Un avamposto verso il resto del mondo. Infatti, da roccaforte operaia si è trasformato in una babele multietnica. È qui, in una lavanderia a gettoni gestita da un magrebino, che Contrera riceve i suoi clienti. Accanto a un piccolo frigo pieno di birre che provvede a svuotare sistematicamente. I suoi quarant'anni li ha trascorsi quasi tutti per quelle strade. Faceva il poliziotto ma si è fatto cacciare per una brutta storia di droga, ora fa l'investigatore privato senza ufficio ma non senza fantasia. Ha una Panda Young da un quinto di secolo: e quello è «il rapporto più duraturo che abbia mai avuto nella vita». La sua ex moglie lo detesta e la figlia adolescente si rifiuta di rivolgergli la parola. Ad amarlo restano giusto la sorella e i due nipoti, divertiti dalla sua eccentricità. Quando Mohamed, il proprietario della lavanderia, gli chiede di aiutare un ragazzo che si è indebitato con una banda di albanesi, Contrera non può certo tirarsi indietro. Ma come in ogni poliziesco che si rispetti, le cose sono molto più complicate di quanto sembri a prima vista: e quando salta fuori il primo cadavere, Contrera capisce di essersi ficcato in un pasticcio nel quale finirà per rischiare non solo la pelle.

Nella quiete sorniona di un sabato mattina in ufficio, mentre Matera si prepara al rituale dello struscio pomeridiano, una telefonata raggiunge il Sostituto Procuratore Imma Tataranni. 'Pensò immediatamente a Valentina, che doveva essere appena uscita da scuola e in quei giorni stava piantando una grana. Invece le dissero che avevano ucciso un ragazzo, a Nova Siri'. Imma per mestiere ha a che fare abitualmente coi morti ammazzati, ma se a morire è un coetaneo di sua figlia, a poco a poco la madre e il procuratore si scopriranno facce della stessa medaglia che finiranno per confondersi e alimentarsi l'un l'altra. L'indagine del procuratore - con le sue tecniche, le sue dinamiche, le rivalità antiche e nuove - pagina dopo pagina assume infatti i contorni del viaggio di una madre alla scoperta di un mistero più importante e profondo: chi sono i nostri figli, che cosa vogliono, che possibilità hanno di questi tempi? In una comunità chiusa del Mezzogiorno italiano, fra dicerie superficiali e misfatti sepolti dalla terra arsa dal sole, Imma scruta, interroga, immagazzina dati: qualche volta inciampa, come sugli irrinunciabili tacchi alti, qualche volta, proprio come con quelli, riesce a ergere lo sguardo oltre l'apparenza dei fatti.
