"How useful is this book? I have referred to it often, and found myself quoting information and models of care from it. I lent it to a colleague to prepare a presentation on 'challenging behaviour' to our local carers' group and he thought it was an excellent resource. It is key reading for any mental health professional with an interest in improving the quality of life of people with dementia. I would recommend that all community teams have a copy." Dementia
 "Overall, this book is useful. It is well-indexed and has helpful summaries and sections on lessons for practice. It is to be hoped that the title will not deter clinicians other than nurses from reading it, as it will be of interest and of use to them too." mentalhealth today
 "This is an excellent reader aimed at a wide readership. I believe it is particularly appropriate for qualified staff in CMHTs, but also for mental health, occupational therapy and social work students as a comprehensive introductory text for mental health for older people in community settings." Mark Vincent, University of Northampton, UK
 "A very useful foundation book for those wishing to understand the challenges of dementia care. " Anthony Fraher, University of the West of England, UK

Partnerships in Community Mental Health Nursing & Dementia Care: Practice Perspectives

"Never was a book like this more urgently needed. Its combination of authority and experience makes it especially valuable. Its wisdom is based on the knowledge and understanding of how growing frail really afflicts older people. We who have known independence and freedom need to have our lives respected. This book makes a good case for encouraging older people to enjoy as much autonomy as possible and to collaborate with their carers in keeping well. Those who nurse older people will find much sound help within these pages." Broadcaster and writer Dame Joan Bakewell "I am delighted to commend this book to you. Putting older people at the centre of their care and support is central in all good nursing care. However, this publication clearly demonstrates the changes to nursing practice that are needed to make this a reality for individual older people. At a time when the number of older people in our society is growing and, when their care is often unfavourable under the spotlight, this publication will provide an invaluable resource for nurses." Dame Christine Beasley, DBE, Chief Nursing Officer for England "Nurses have always known the importance of including the consumer’s voice into practice; however, this text takes this view to additional heights and incorporates the voice of the older person in true partnership as a book editor. This text makes an extraordinary contribution to scholarship and practice and is sure to be on most undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students “must have” list of texts."  Wendy Moyle, PhD, RN Director, Research Centre for Community Practice Innovation, Griffith University, Australia "A great book: giving a comprehensive insight in the fundamentals of working with older people and key issues in nursing older people... The voice of older people is vividly written in many examples and scenarios given. I recommend this book to nurses, care staff, all who are in the education and qualification sector and other stakeholders in elder care." Professor Dr. Barbara Klein, Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main - University of Applied Sciences, Germany "This is exactly the book to choose when looking for a straightforward study book, and is particularly good for students and newly qualified nurses. The chapters are easy to dip into and the language is in layman’s terms. The further resources in the back of the book have some great links to specialist sites. Staff on the ward also found it useful despite their years of experience. I would strongly recommend this book." Susan Doyle, Student Nurse, Bangor University Wales, UK This timely textbook aims to provide adult nurses with the principles and practice insights needed to deliver exceptional care in partnership with older adults. Written by a world renowned author team and includes contributions by older people, ensuring their needs and concerns about nursing care are reflected across the book. This important book:  Considers the social perspectives, wider issues and themes, such as ageism, policy, services and demographics  Evaluates daily activities and needs, including: mobility, nutrition, communication, sexuality and leisure  Features scenarios based on real situations and narratives from older people  Examines the use of affirmative language to promote wellbeing and dignity when nursing older adults Nursing Older Adults will help nurses to better appreciate the experiences and strengths of older people. The book emphasises the importance of undertaking a collaborative approach when shaping the care that older people receive in a variety of healthcare settings.

Science teaching in England is increasingly driven by the KS2 SATs, where the children are required to know key facts and words and be able to interpret experimental data presented as a table or graph. The children need to be able to use specific scientific language-rambling descriptions do not get marks! Also, teachers are seeking to integrate aspects of science, literacy and maths as timetabling is made increasingly difficult due to the demands of the NLS and NNS. Each fully photocopiable book in the DEVELOPING SCIENCE LANGUAGE series will be split into around ten 6-8 page 'units', each hitting a significant science curriculum topic. Content will include aspects of all the UK curricula, with references indicating which topics occur in which documentation. Each unit will comprise of: a piece of non-fiction/information text pitched to the younger reading age prescribed (ie 6/8/10 year olds), with key vocabulary highlighted-two comprehension activities based on the text (broadly equivalent to one activity differentiated by the two age groups) - optionally, one or more language-based or 'Visual' activities using or accessing the text or related knowledge'DSL: PHYSICAL PROCESSES 10-11' will address the 'physics' topics covered by theUK curricula at KS2/P4-7, using the QCA 'Science Scheme of Work' units for Y5 and Y6 as a more detailed guide. To this will be added appropriate content from the other UK science curriculum documments, in particular the new Scottish 5-14 guidelines on Environmental Studies. 'DSL:PHYSICAL PROCESSES 10-11' units will include 'changing circuits', Gravity and air resistance' or 'Reflection and seeing', for example.; Photocopiable science information texts appropriate to target age group.; Differentiated comprehensions-credible literacy.; Fully-photocopiable activities to develop science literacy: comprehension tasks and word games.; Highlights and teaches key science vocabulary in context.

Everyday Citizenship and People with Dementia prioritises the ordinary lives of people with dementia, and thereby broadens the agenda towards everyday citizenship.&nbsp; The contributors bring to the fore the idea that a person living with dementia has multiple opinions, identities and a stake in society.&nbsp; The notion of everyday citizenship is used to shift the focus away from care settings and diagnostic and post-diagnostic support - all of which are important, of course - to the 'normal' everyday routines and settings of a person's life.&nbsp; The notion of citizenship is mobilised within a range of contexts from dealing with the welfare system to living and being a part of a neighbourhood.&nbsp; Each chapter focuses on everyday citizenship from the perspective of people living with dementia and shows how citizenship is a necessity for a vibrant, inclusive society.&nbsp; The discussion is informed by empirically based work and authored by experts from different parts of the world, including Canadian and Scots citizens who are living with dementia.&nbsp; The stress, throughout the book, is that the everyday and mundane is not only important in a practical sense but also in a political one. The book is thus for all interested in current debates about equality and the rights of people with dementia.
