New condition maroon boards, dark gray spine, and black spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments and Notes. "From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a probing look at the struggles of America's white working class through the author's own story of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town. Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of poor, white Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for over forty years, has been reported with growing frequencey and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. In Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hanging around your neck. The Vance family story began with hope in postwar America. J.D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love" and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation of the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - You don't need to move fast to get stronger. Sometimes, the most effective thing you can do is simply hold still - with intention.Isometric training is one of the gentlest, most joint-friendly forms of strength work available, and it's exactly why physical therapists and geriatric specialists recommend it so often for older adults. Unlike traditional exercise that relies on repetitive motion through a joint's full range, isometric holds build real, measurable strength while your joints stay completely still - making it one of the safest paths back to strength for anyone managing arthritis, joint replacement recovery, osteoporosis, or general age-related stiffness.Isometric Exercises for Seniors is a complete, illustrated home program built entirely around this principle - no equipment beyond a wall, a sturdy chair, and a doorway required.Inside, you'll discover: - What actually makes a hold 'isometric,' and how your muscles respond to sustained contraction differently than to movement-based exercise- Why stillness protects aging joints - and who benefits most from this approach- A complete Safety Self-Assessment and Intensity Scale, so you always train at a level appropriate to your body today- Over 60 illustrated static-hold exercises across upper body and arm strength, shoulder and neck stability, core and posture, lower body strength, and dedicated balance and fall-prevention holds- Specific exercises like the Wall Push Hold, Chair Stand Hold, Single-Leg Balance Hold, and Bridge Hold - every one with clear setup, hold-time guidance, and modifications- How to set up a safe home training space, including guidance on mobility aids and building a consistent routine that actually sticks- Realistic expectations for your first month, plus troubleshooting for the common early setbacks most beginners faceThis book is for you if: - You're managing arthritis, a joint replacement, osteoporosis, or general joint sensitivity and need training that works with your body, not against it- You want real strength gains without repetitive motion or high-impact movement- You're new to structured exercise and want a program that starts with genuine self-assessment, not assumptions- You want a home program requiring no equipment beyond a wall, chair, and doorway- You're ready to build lasting independence and confidence, one held position at a timeThis book is educational and is not a substitute for medical care. Always consult your physician or a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise program, especially if you have a heart condition, joint replacement, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, or any chronic illness.Scroll up and begin today - real strength often starts with simply holding your ground.…
