Now, in this pioneering work, Dr Mui Hing June Mak shows us how a Good Death expresses itself in Hong Kong, and also how this ideal varies and is modified in other Asian societies as this is observed in their own, often inaccessible literature. The author offers a comprehensive review of the literature on dying conduct and needs from several Asian perspectives, and also provides a perceptive analysis of the lessons to be learnt from her qualitative study which employed a 'Grounded Theory' methodology to understand the experiences and end-of-life needs of cancer patients in hospice care in Hong Kong. A relation-based theory, Harmonious Death, is developed. She also makes several suggestions to translate these theoretical concepts into practice. Dr Mak brings to her words not only the disciplined eye of a hospice clinician and academic but also a compassionate insight derived from her direct personal experiences. Close, personal relationship with three dying people were formative of her current research and professional interests, and also the driving concern in ensuring that the voices of all the participants in her study are heard clearly, sympathetically, and poignantly. Audience: The book will be of interest to teachers, students and professionals across the whole range of health and social care and social work, particularly those in palliative or hospice settings, as well as well as those with an interest in behavioural and social sciences, anthropology, philosophy, thanatology, not to mention the humanities.

They are a resource that will be sorely needed as boomers reach retirement and the traditional pipeline of 17 - 23 year olds falls short of filling our growing workforce needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough these nontraditional students can potentially meet our future workforce demands, and although half of them enter post-secondary education, half of those who do so drop out of college for lack of basic support systems - often at the very same institutions that provided programs of retention while they were earning their GED and completing basic Adult Education classes. Yet national data collected by the National Center for Educational Statistics reveals that GED certificate holders who persist to their second year of community college studies accumulate grade point averages equal to high school graduates, refuting widely held beliefs that GED earners are not capable of rigorous academic work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first book to remedy the dearth of data on this forgotten population, to present original research on these students, describing their characteristics and motivations, and to provide proven models for identifying, retaining and graduating this under-counted and underestimated cohort. It addresses the issue of the pipeline from GED centers to postsecondary education, and includes first-person narratives that offer vivid insights into GED earners' resilience and needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs this book reveals, more than 40 percent of community colleges responding to a 2010 ACT survey have no one responsible for coordinating retention efforts; and more than half have no goals for first-year student retention; and estimates that community colleges are cumulatively foregoing over $1.5 billion in revenues as the result of failing to retain their GED populations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a comprehensive resource for college administrators, and for educational policy makers and researchers, offering both broad policy recommendations and tested ideas and models that can be implemented at the state and institutional level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49842336596241,"sku":"DVDB00T5DM876VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53478423855377,"sku":"CINB00T5DM876G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00T5DM876.jpg?v=1750809701"},{"product_id":"road-between-dlx-cd-0050087308308","title":"Road Between (Dlx)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50838591111441,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50838592094481,"sku":"DVDB00K1YBSH4VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00K1YBSH4.jpg?v=1750809331"},{"product_id":"the-hating-game-dvd-0843501037522","title":"The Hating Game","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51595757781265,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51595758010641,"sku":"DVDB09M2SBX26VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53422104510737,"sku":"CINB09M2SBX26G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B09M2SBX26.jpg?v=1750840951"},{"product_id":"the-hating-game-dvd-0843501037515","title":"The Hating Game","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53219261088017,"sku":"CINB09M2V4JJLA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/843501037515.jpg?v=1772847869"},{"product_id":"blumhouse-s-truth-or-dare-dvd-0191329053140","title":"Blumhouse's Truth Or Dare","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53219320529169,"sku":"CINB07CBLSGJDVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0191329053140.jpg?v=1772848065"},{"product_id":"son-of-the-south-dvd-0031398325673","title":"Son of the South","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53422119616785,"sku":"CINB08TZBTXMBVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53427923812625,"sku":"CINB08TZBTXMBG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0031398325673.jpg?v=1776378861"},{"product_id":"son-of-the-south-dvd-0031398325659","title":"Son of the South","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423951184145,"sku":"CINB08TZK8R5CG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0031398325659.jpg?v=1776385685"},{"product_id":"road-between-dlx-cd-0050087284244","title":"Road Between (Dlx)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53424663724305,"sku":"CINB00HG0G164G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0050087284244.jpg?v=1776388386"},{"product_id":"a-nice-girl-like-you-dvd-0031398321231","title":"A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53558096724241,"sku":"CINB08BRLN7QZG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0031398321231.jpg?v=1778720418"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-lucy-hale.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
