Couple Sexuality After 60 Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying

Couple Sexuality After 60 Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying

Confronting taboos and misunderstandings about sexuality and aging Couple Sexuality After 60: Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying motivates couples to embrace sex and sexuality in their 60s 70s and 80s. The book busts two extreme myths—that people over 60 cannot and should not be sexual and that the best way to be sexual is to emphasize eroticism using sex toys and kinky sex. Using a variable flexible approach to couple sexuality based on the Good Enough Sex (GES) model this book places the essence of sexuality in pleasure-oriented touching not individual sex performance. Barry and Emily McCarthy introduce a new sexual mantra of desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction with the goal of presenting a healthy model of sexuality to replace the traditional double standard that couples learn in young adulthood. Specific chapters focus on important areas like coming to terms with the new normal female–male sexual equity satisfaction being about more than intercourse and orgasm valuing synchronous and asynchronous sexuality psychobiosocial approaches to sexuality and more. In addition to aging heterosexual couples single individuals and queer couples will find this book interesting. Additionally sexual health clinicians and sex therapists with clients over the age of 60 will find this a fascinating read. | Couple Sexuality After 60 Intimate Pleasurable and Satisfying

Acclaimed Boston photographers Lou Jones Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski guide you through the technical and creative aspects of how to get the most out of these powerful tools in this indispensable guide packed full of inspirational images and comprehensive diagrams of the lighting set ups used to capture them. They are significantly more advanced lighter and considerably cheaper than a standard flashgun and have many advantages. They are small (and cheap) enough that a number can be carried in your kit and they can be used in combination triggered wirelessly. They use through-the-lens (TTL) metering which allows you to use the in-camera LCD and histograms to calculate the required power/direction rather than havng to use a light meter or trial and error. They use proprietary dedicated technology (from Canon and Nikon) that means there are no compatability issues. Getting the most out of them however remains a mystery - most photographers still just use their speedlights in the same way as a standard flash gun. This is where this book comes in. | Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

Parking and the City

Parking and the City

Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars encourage sprawl degrade urban design prohibit walkability damage the economy raise housing costs and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy examines the multidisciplinary overlap between the spatial disciplines and the studies of science and technology through a comparative study of four of the world’s most important radio telescopes. Employing detailed analysis historical research interviews personal observations and various conceptual manoeuvres Guy Trangoš reveals the depth of spatial process active at these scientific sites and the territories they traverse. Through the conceptual frameworks of territory hyper-concentration and contingency Trangoš interprets the telescope as exploded across space and time present in multiple connected sites simultaneously and active in the production of space. He develops a historiographic and contemporary analysis of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA Chile); the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST China); the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico); and the MeerKAT/SKA (South Africa). These case studies are global exemplars of the different spatial transformations that occur through science. Their relationships to surrounding communities and landscapes reveal deeper constitutional processes embodied in each institutional and spatial form. This book spans the modern history of architecture and science the studies of science technology and society and urban theory. It is of specific interest to architects and designers expanding their analysis of spatial production scholars in the study of geography landscape science technology and astronomy and people fascinated with how these radio telescopes were conceptualised built and operate today.
