Discover 'Past Caring?', a compelling paperback that delves into the critical role of care in New Zealand's social fabric. This insightful volume of 286 pages, expertly edited by Barbara Brookes, Jane McCabe, and Angela Wanhalla, explores the often-overlooked topic of care, which is essential to both individual well-being and social relationships. Care permeates the core of New Zealand's key social institutions, including family and state welfare systems, yet it frequently goes unrecognized and unrewarded. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, this book addresses profound questions about gender, justice, and morality, highlighting how care shapes our lives on both philosophical and practical levels.Understand care's significance through personal narratives, such as that of a M?ori grandmother, or the dedication of a Rarotongan leader. The volume weaves in memories from North East India and critiques from New Zealand cinema, which challenge the prevailing notion of ‘man alone’ by showcasing the everyday experiences of sole-carer mothers. Dive deep into case studies that unveil the multifaceted nature of care in various contexts—domestic, institutional, and political. With a publication date of February 1, 2019, 'Past Caring?' is a must-read for anyone interested in gender studies, social justice, and the critical importance of care in our interconnected lives.

Are women past caring? Care is essential to social relationships and individual well-being. It is woven into New Zealand’s key social institutions, such as the family, and is also embedded in societal expectations around state provision of health and welfare. Care is so vital, in fact, that it is often taken for granted and goes unnoticed and unrewarded. Historical and philosophical enquiry have largely ignored the issue of care, yet it raises profound questions about gender, justice and morality. The essays in this volume raise those questions directly – at the level of abstraction where prominent New Zealand women philosophers grappled with the political implications, and on the ground at the level of family relationships. Understanding the history of care requires attention to personal narratives, such as a M?ori grandmother’s story, a Rarotongan leader’s concept of duty to her people, or the sense of service that drove a long-term social worker. Memories of childhood night-time care are carried across the ocean from North East India. The depiction of sole-carer mothers in New Zealand film suggests a â€caring’ alternative to the celebrated concept of â€man alone’. The case studies examined focus on the everyday nature of care operating across domestic, institutional and political spaces, and build upon areas of strength in women’s history with its interest in family, motherhood, health, welfare, educa

A Must-Have for any Final Fantasy Fan
Format: Hardcover
GeminiGeek's Honest Review!
If I had to review this Ultimania Volume 1 with a single word, I'd simply say: "FANTASTIC!". This first volume of the Final Fantasy Ultimania books covers the first six Final Fantasy games, and has an enormous amount of details and content. Each game has it own individual section, complete with images of each character's classic sprites, and even their official Yoshitaka Amano art work as well. Aside from being visually appealing, the book is overflowing with unique story details, character bios, and even an encyclopedia of items and monsters! This volume of the Ultimania series is thick, it is huge, but not to the point of being a pain to carry around or hold. If you enjoy any of the six Final Fantasy games that this volume covers, you'll find something to love in this book, there is just so much information and artwork contained within this tome.
This is a must-have for anyone who enjoys the Final Fantasy series, I can't recommend it enough. As a long-time Final Fantasy fan myself, I love this book, and I can't wait for Volume 2 to come out this fall.

This is the book I've been waiting for!!!
Format: Hardcover
This book has a ton of great information for fans of the first 6 Final Fantasy games. It includes artwork, sketches, maps, computer renderings, and more! Check out the video flip through of the book that I added. If you are a fan, you won't be disappointed!
Note: many characters, monsters, and locations are shown with Japanese language (Katakana or Hiragana most often - sometimes Kanji) with a Romaji translation (such as Kokaturisu for Cockatrice) and a final English translation. Note that much of this book is based off multiple versions of the games - often the PSP / PS1 versions for 1, 2, 4, 5 and DS for 3. Just a note because translations are different for each version. Also some of the sprites shown in character models are from later releases, not original. But it is certainly forgivable since they often show the sprites for multiple versions.
I am just pawing through it non-stop. I feel like a kid when I got the first Final Fantasy and literally wore out the map/monster chart that was included!

Great gift for Final Fantasy Enthusiasts
Format: Hardcover
My brother in law has played many of the original Final Fantasy games and has always enjoyed the art style. My husband purchased this book for him as a birthday gift and my brother in law has thoroughly enjoyed flipping through this book. The hardback cover is very sturdy and the entire book is beautiful with interesting character facts throughout.

Even better than expected
Format: Hardcover
This is a really good quality book both in form and content. Its pretty big both in size and thickness, its actually taller than i thought and is very well made with beautiful print. If you are a fan of Final Fantasy or a fan of videogame artwork its a great item to add to your collection. I'd love to get the other two volumes as well.
