Underground cities : mapping the tunnels, transits and networks underneath our feet / by Ovenden, Mark,1963-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 218-219) and index.With over 60 per cent of the world's population living in cities, the networks beneath our feet - which keep the cities above moving - are more important than ever before. Yet we never truly see how these amazing feats of engineering work. Just how deep do the tunnels go? Where do the sewers, bunkers and postal trains run? And, how many tunnels are there under our streets? Each featured city presents a 'skyline of the underground' through specially commissioned cut-away illustrations and unique cartography. Drawing on geography, cartography and historical oddities, Mark Ovenden explores what our cities look like from the bottom up.

The unexpected journey of caring : the transformation from loved one to caregiver / by Thomson, Donna,1955-author.(CARDINAL)787959; White, Zachary,author.(CARDINAL)805183; Woodruff, Judy,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)332292;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-239) and index.I'm (not) a caregiver : disorientation: from loved one to caregiver -- Living in-between scripts -- A hyper-intolerance of others -- Audience betrayal -- Who am I becoming and why am I so hard on myself? -- When 'getting through' isn't good enough : Re-orientation and advocacy -- Making meaning that matters now -- Begin with the basics : what is my role at home,what do I want it to be? -- It takes a village: revealing hidden assets in the neighborhood -- Navigating the rough waters of transition -- Not a social network, but a care network -- How to know what you want and get what you need -- Power and love = empowerment -- Cultivating connection.With a foreword by Judy Woodruff, The Unexpected Journey of Caring is a practical guide to finding personal meaning in the 21st century care experience. Informed by original caregiver research and proven advocacy strategies, this book speaks to caregiving as it unfolds, in all of its confusion, chaos, and messiness. Readers won't find well-intentioned clichés or care stereotypes in this book. There are no promises to help caregivers return to a life they knew before caregiving. No, this book greets caregivers where they are in their journey--new or chronic--not where others expect (or want) them to be.
