Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six million people in the UK, often unnoticed by the rest of us, provide unpaid care for disabled or elderly relatives, friends or neighbours. Their job is long, lonely and hard, yet there is limited support and no formal training. As a result, carers suffer frequent damage to physical and mental health. Oddly, though carers by definition are anything but selfish pigs, they are liable to feelings of guilt, probably brought on by fatigue and isolation. So Hugh Marriott has written this book for them - and also for the rest of us who don't know what being a carer is all about. His aim is bring into the open everything he wishes he'd been told when he first became a carer. And he does. The book airs such topics as sex, thoughts of murder, and dealing with the responses of friends and officials who fail to understand. This is a must-read for anyone involved with caring.

This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the human story of care with its representation in film, fiction and memoir, this book combines an analysis of care narratives to inform and inspire ideas about this major role in life. Alongside analysis of narratives drawn from literature and film, the author sensitively interweaves the story of his wife's illness and care to illuminate perspectives on dealing with human decline. Examining texts from a diverse range of authors such as Leo Tolstoy, Edith Wharton and Alice Munro, and filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman and Michael Haneke, it addresses questions such as why caregiving is a dangerous activity, the ethical problems of writing about caregiving, the challenges of reading about caregiving, and why caregiving is so important. It serves as a fire starter on the subject of how we can gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of caregiving through the creative arts.

Book excerpt: The book "Guinea Pig Care 101" is written by keeping the practical aspect of caring for our guinea pigs in mind. We have owned guinea pigs for several years now and we understand how hard it can be for a new owner to get it right! We never knew if the cage we are keeping them in is of right size or not? Can I use cat litter or aspen bedding? We were unsure! What would be the ideal diet? We used to think hay & pellets are all they need! What are the common health problems and how can we deal with them? We really had no idea. But with years of learning and gathering experience we have come to this point where we feel whatever we have learned should be shared with other owners out there. Thus, we have created this wonderful guide where we have covered all the practical aspects of owning a guinea pig and keeping them safe and healthy. We have tried to cut out all the crap and have kept only the best information for you! I bet you will learn a lot and be a good Guinea pig Mommy/Daddy!
