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

Digital Access and Museums as Platforms

Digital Access and Museums as Platforms

Digital Access and Museums as Platforms draws on interviews with museum practitioners along with a range of case studies from public and private institutions in order to investigate the tensions and benefits involved in making cultural collections available using digital technologies. Taking a media and critical studies approach to the museum and raising questions about the role of privately owned search engines in facilitating museum experiences the book questions who collects what for whom objects are collected and what purpose these objects and collections serve. Connecting fieldwork undertaken in Australia and New Zealand with the global practices of technology companies Wilson-Barnao brings attention to an emerging new model of digital ownership and moderation. Considering the synergising of these institutions with media systems which are now playing a more prominent role in facilitating access to culture the book also explores the motivations of different cultural workers for constructing the museum as a mediatised location. Digital Access and Museums as Platforms will be of interest to academics and students working in the fields of museum studies art culture media studies and digital humanities. Weighing in on conversations about how technologies are being incorporated into museums the book should also be useful to practitioners working in museums and galleries around the world.

The Problem of China

The Problem of China

'China by her resources and her population is capable of being the greatest power in the world after the United States. ' Bertrand Russell The Problem of China In 1920 the philosopher Bertrand Russell spent a year in China as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing (then Peking) where his lectures on mathematical logic enthralled students and listeners including Mao Tse Tung who attended some of Russell’s talks. Written at a time when China was largely regarded by the West as backward and weak The Problem of China sees Russell rise above the prejudices of his era and presciently assess China's past present and future. Russell brings his analytical and insightful eye to bear on some fundamental aspects of China’s history and politics cautioning China against adopting a purely Western model of social and economic development which he regarded as characterized by a combination of greed and militarism. Beginning with an overview of nineteenth-century Chinese history and considering China's relations with Japan and Russia Russell then contrasts Chinese civilization with Western. He devotes a fascinating chapter to the character of the Chinese which he argues is complex but ultimately defined by a ‘pacific temper’. With uncanny foresight Russell predicts China’s resurgence but only if it is able to establish an orderly government promote industrial development under Chinese control and foster the spread of education. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new introduction by Bernard Linsky.
