Sommario/riassunto |
|
Globalization and the Internet are smothering cultural regionalism, that sense of place that flourished in simpler times. These two villains are also prime suspects in the death of reading. Or so alarming reports about our homogenous and dumbed-down culture would have it, but as Regionalism and the Reading Class shows, neither of these claims stands up under scrutiny-quite the contrary. Wendy Griswold draws on cases from Italy, Norway, and the United States to show that fans of books form their own reading class, with a distinctive demographic profile separate from the general public. This reading class is modest in size but intense in its literary practices. Paradoxically these educated and mobile elites work hard to put down local roots by, among other strategies, exploring regional writing. Ultimately, due to the technological, economic, and political advantages they wield, cosmopolitan readers are able to celebrate, perpetuate, and reinvigorate local culture. Griswold's study will appeal to students of |

Sommario/riassunto |

This book explores the transformative potential of digital technologies to achieve more effective and integrated health care for older adults. It examines the biological and social processes of aging through personas and scenarios, highlighting their impacts on current and future health care delivery systems. It provides a global perspective on the development of health care systems, discussing barriers and opportunities for reform and innovation within the context of policymaking and health technology assessment. Focusing on home care, rehabilitation, long-term care, and primary care, the book offers insights and tools to enhance these services for older adults. It addresses the critical adoption of standardized electronic health records, emphasizing their importance for accessibility and interoperability within health care systems. Readers are introduced to conceptual models and ethical considerations that frame the challenges and opportunities in health care. The book showcases various AgeTech innovations, pilot projects, and initiatives that can address the health care needs of older adults, improving their independence and quality of life. Additionally, it identifies key areas for future research and innovation in AgeTech, encouraging readers to engage with questions and issues that promote continuous thinking about health care reform and AgeTech integration. Targeting a diverse audience, the book aims to inspire and mobilize business leaders, educators and trainees, researchers, innovators, policymakers, health care providers, and citizens—especially older adults. By presenting evidence and practical strategies, it underscores AgeTech’s role in creating a continuous, integrated, and learning-oriented health care delivery system. |
