Spanning the years 1930 to 1989, this is a highly practical and enjoyable puzzle book. It covers events, people, entertainment and everyday life and is designed to encourage group participation to recall and discuss their own personal experiences. It is fully adaptable according to the needs and abilities of the individuals within the group.

This book is designed to be used by anybody working with older adults in residential, nursing and day care facilities. It provides a wealth of reminiscence material which can be used in a number of ways to rekindle memories and provide stimulating activity such as quizzes and discussion. Each year covered in the book is divided into the sections 'Major events', 'On the home front', 'Music', 'Television', 'Screen and page', 'Sport' and 'Do you remember?'. Many sections can be easily turned into quizzes and it would be simple to form a quiz from each year's material. One cannot cover all that happened in these years nor highlight all the associations each event or fact triggers, so the material is intended to be expanded on by the memories it triggers in clients during discussion. So, for example, where a film title is mentioned ask if people can recall the stars of the film, its plot and how it ended. The 'Major events' section will trigger lots of opinions too as it covers the political events of the decades so try to get the groups to discuss the ethical and moral dilemmas these posed at the time. The book is intended for use with individuals and groups but you will discover that in a group one persons memories will trigger another's and so what seems like a small topic can last for the whole session as we all try to tell our personal tales. While the content has a UK bias, it also covers the major world events of the decades but I have included a blank page for each year for you to record your own personal landmarks and achievements and also those of your local town or community.specialising in older adults mental health to a deeper level.

'Back to the Fifties' examines the explosion of Fifties nostalgia in Hollywood film and popular music from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. It both complicates and transcends standard diagnoses of the political function of nostalgia in popular media, and sheds new light on a crucial and underexamined period in American politics and culture. By closely examining the ways that 'the Fifties' were remade and recalled in films and in pop music, the book notes the importance of 'the Fifties' to a generation of Americans and explores the ways popular culture facilitates cultural memory.

This book is a compendium of short stories of my youth growing up in the island of Trinidad in the 1950s and 60s. My 32 Chevy The year was 1961, and I was still in high school. I lived in Trinidad at the time. This 32 Chevy was the apple of my eye. Trinidad was a British colony, and all we had were English cars. An American car was a luxury, and a 32 Chevy was a rarity. I would dream about this car. I would picture myself sitting behind the steering wheel cruising up High Street (the main drag in San Fernando, my hometown). My friends would be envious, and the girls would dote over me for having such a cool car. Some time passed, and I stopped seeing this car on the road. The Racing Bike I got my first bike at the age of twelve. In Trinidad in the 1950s, a bicycle was an essential means of transport. Few people could afford cars. The bicycle was the dependable machine that took you everywhere on the island: to work, to school, to the beach, across town to visit friends and relatives, to the shop to buy goods, and downtown to hang with the boys. A Memorable Tobago Adventure The first time I visited Tobago was in 1963. I went with my best friends Wahid, Bissoon, Karl, George, and Hamid (Wahids younger brother). It was Easter, and we had carefully planned this adventure to see the famous Tobago crab races and attend other Easter boat races and sport festivities on the beach. Fondest Memories of Christmases Past Christmas is the happiest time of the year for mealways was and always will be. Growing up in Trinidad, Christmas was celebrated by everyone. The whole island celebrated Christmas. Christmas was spree time. Every house stocked up with sweet drinks (Coca Cola, Pepsi, Solo, Red Spot, and Cannings), Fernandes Rum, babash (homemade rum), Cherry Brandy, Guinness, Mackeson XXX Stout, and Carib beer to offer friends, relatives, and neighbors who could drop in at any time for a Christmas toast. An Avocado Story The avocado fruit is native to Central and South America and has been around in these areas since 8000 BC. It was introduced to the Caribbean (Jamaica) in the mid-seventeenth century and the Tropical Asian regions in the mid-1800s. The avocado arrived in the United States in the early twentieth century, specifically in California and Florida.

A real life adventure along historic Route 66 in a 40-year-old convertible helps us see that 'road trip' is a metaphor for life's 'dash.' It does matter what we believe. We cannot mesh in worldly values with Christ's purity. Our relationship with God is reflected through our relationship with others while on this life's journey. Our travelers' goal of making it home seemed implausible, but our God makes all things possible. Our final destination is certain when we walk with Him. They said it couldn't be done, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Casey Stengel Dr. R.M. Shuffett's interest in travel and adventure dates back to childhood dreams of becoming an Indy Car driver while pushing the lawn mower around 'laps'- or the 'Lone Ranger' while riding his Shetland pony, mentally transported to cowboy and Indian 'badlands.' He was inspired by a locomotive ride. And a road trip vacation to Washington, D.C. forged an excitement to seek out more of the unfamiliar road ahead Dr. Shuffett is a Christian veterinarian (DVM, Auburn 1980), faithful husband to wife Ruthie, and dad to Hilary, Jessica, Brian, and John. He is a member and trustee of the Greensburg, Kentucky Church of the Nazarene. He considers himself fortunate to be able to travel scenic rural central Kentucky roads daily seeing God's creation and his myriad animal patients!
