Jane Miller Bücher

'Falls jemand daran zweifelt, dass Altsein tatsächlich interessant sein kann, ist dies das Buch für ihn.' 'The Observer', 29.08.2010 Kann Altsein Spaß machen? Wenn man dieses Buch liest, wünscht man sich zuweilen, es wäre endlich so weit: endlich Zeit und Muße für Dinge, die man schon immer tun wollte, befreit von quälenden Leidenschaften, hochfliegenden Wünschen, Rivalitäten und Versagensängsten. Wer das Alter nicht erlebt, verpasst den besten Teil des Lebens, glaubt Jane Miller. 'Ich habe die Hoffnung, dass man im Alter neue Arten von Zeit, Vergnügen, vielleicht sogar Vitalität entdeckt; dass man trotz Vergessens, Verschusselns und Sich-Verhörens manche Dinge zum ersten Mal versteht.' Mit Charme und Humor erzählt die sechsfache Großmutter von ihrem Leben als alte Frau - und beweist dabei, dass das Alter die erfüllendste Zeit des Lebens sein kann.

Sixty per cent of teachers in Britain are women: 74 per cent of primary school teachers and 45 per cent of secondary teachers. This text proposes that behind the familiar image of the woman teacher lies a curiously neglected history. Drawing on both published and unpublished material, including teachers' own autobiographical writing, this book examines the current state of educational provision and its surrounding debates.

In this remarkable book, Jane Miller writes about the experience of being a daughter and a sister, about the intensities of family life and the illuminations that come from the last days of parents.

The Yellow Wave is an invasion like no other.
