Nesting: It’s a Chick Thing
Check it out–the Chicks are back. Authors of It’s a Chick Thing, with 110,000 copies in print–“A must book for the reader who knows that chicks rule” (Publishers Weekly), “a smart and sassy compilation” (Chicago Tribune)–Ame Mahler Beanland and Emily Miles Terry celebrate chicks nesting, or what it means to have a home filled with laughter, good friends, lovingly prepared foods and crafts, all with personal style.
Seasoned with attitude and packed with stories, history, how-tos, quips, advice, recipes, folklore, and crafts, Nesting is all about finding personal style and showing it off, putting an entirely fresh, it’s-a-chick-thing spin on entertaining, decorating, cooking, and gardening. In “Chicks and Chow,” the food chapter, there are unexpected stories by M.F.K. Fisher, Ruth Reichl, and Erma Bombeck; a Spice, Spice Baby! guide to spices; sixteen recipes for great Chicktails; and Towels That Snap Back (how to make personalized dish towels). “Flocking Together {hen parties and sassy soirees}” has Sally Quinn on being a guest while in labor; Ina Garton’s “The Worst Party I Ever Had”; the How to Be a Hostess Cupcake guide to party girl preparedness; Upper, Lower, and No-Crust hors d’oeuvres; Monotony Killers; and decorating inspiration from Elsie de Wolfe: “I believe in plenty of optimism and white paint.”
Nesting is totally un-Martha in its approach–it’s easy, it’s light, it’s like your best friends hanging out and offering advice with a quip–and it’s illustrated throughout with hilarious retro photos and illustrations.

The Caregiving Wife’s Handbook
A month after proposing marriage, Diana Denholm’s husband was diagnosed with colon cancer and later congestive heart failure. Following a heart transplant several of her husband’s body systems began failing forcing Diana to become his primary caregiver for more than a decade. The Caregiving Wife’s Handbook is a step-by-step communication guide to help women maintain emotional, physical and financial health in their unique role as caregivers to their dying husbands.
Women are suffering physical, emotional and financial burnout as the United States’ leading caregivers. Of the 65 million caregivers in the U.S., 66% are women, and these numbers will only increase as the population ages. And while statistics and resources abound for caregivers in general, very little exists for women in their unique role as caregivers to their dying husbands.
Traditionally, caring for a dying husband has been seen as a “wifely duty.” Most wives donât label themselves, and arenât labeled by others, as caregivers. But advances in medical technology are making this distinction an imperitive since women are under more stress as caregivers than at any other time in history. Although there are generic similarities in caretaking, caregiving for a dying husband is distinctly different, and the longer the dying process, the more complex the problems.
When a husband is in the process of dying for many months or years the experience is quite different than a husband’s sudden death. On top of dealing with the tragedy, the wife must figure out how to make life work. Sometimes a woman is married to the love of her life and sometimes not. Some marriages strengthen, while others disintegrate. Some women are in abusive relationships and find the abuse continues, and even increases, during these times, while others find, much to their surprise, that they become the abusers. Still some will start or increase substance abuse and others will have affairs to get by.
The Caregiving Wife’s Handbook aims to help women get through their husbands’ illness and death with compassion, emotionally whole and without regret by helping them communicate clearlyâand in stepsâabout issues affecting this unique caregiving relationship.
Without specific direction, many women find themselves over the top with stress as their lives change radically. As a board certified medical psychotherapist and primary caregiver, Diana Denholm recognized the need for a step-by-step process to help women communicate with their husbands to avoid irreparable damage and regret.
In The Caregiving Wife’s Handbook, you will learn:
To ask questions you may not realize you need to ask
The issues that bother you and a method for categorizing them
What you should and shouldn’t discuss with your husband
How to make and prepare for a date to talk about difficult topics
What to do if your husband won’t talk
To create “understandings” with your husband
How to deal with his family
You will also learn survival tips from the case histories of Joyce, Fran, Tina, Jean, Susan, and Mary. Their experiences will help you:
Choose roles you should take and those you should avoid
Understand what is ânormalâ in what youâre experiencing and feeling
Take care of yourself so you can survive and even have fun
Implement doâs and avoid donâts to make your life simpler
Balance with greater ease
Other topics addressed are:
Sex life/intimacy
Current and future finances
Fatigue
Sleep
Household duties
Job responsibilities
Irresponsible behaviors
Unrealistic expectations…
The challenges of this time are endless and extreme and the reality often isnât the beautiful and revered journey often portrayed. When a husband is dying of a long-term illness, the gift of time can allow us to prepare and say all the loving things we need to say, but it can also provide a lot of time for severe stressors and problems to develop. These problems and stressors can be debilitating for the caregiver and provide too many opportunities to say and do things we might regret. The Caregiving Wife’s Handbook will give you the tools and support needed to get through your husbands’ illness and death with compassion, emotionally whole and without regret.
Let The Caregiving Wife’s Handbook support you amidst the griefâall the way through the Final Chapter.

Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships
In today’s world, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with that freedom, and learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we are denying ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else.
Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other. Is it possible to be alone and not lonely? Where are the boundaries that define “lust” versus “love”…and can lust ever grow into love? In Love, Freedom, Aloneness you will find unique, radical, and intelligent perspectives on these and other essential questions. In our post-ideological world, where old moralities are out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. We have the chance to start afresh with ourselves, our relationships to others, and to find fulfillment and success for the individual and for society as a whole

Gender and Ageing
This book is a follow-up to Arber and Ginn’s award winning “Connecting Gender and Ageing” (1995). It contains original chapters from eminent writers on gender and ageing, addressing newly emergent areas within gender and ageing, including gender identity and masculinity in later life. Early work on gender and ageing was dominated by a focus on older women. The present collection breaks with this tradition by emphasizing changing gender roles and relationships, gender identity and an examination of masculinities in midlife and later life. A key theme running through the book is the need to reconceptualize partnership status, in order to understand the implications for women and men of widowhood, divorce and new forms of relationships, such as Living Apart Together (LAT-relationships). Another is the influence of socio-economic circumstances on how ageing is experienced and transitions are negotiated.
The book illustrates new ways of thinking about old age and indicates policy implications, especially concerning the nature of service provision for older people. It will change the ways in which social scientists conceptualize later life.
Written with undergraduate students and researchers in mind, “Gender and Ageing: Changing Roles and Relationships” will be an invaluable text for those studying social gerontology, sociology of later life, gender studies, health and community care and social policy.
