Produktbeschreibung

(Not always recorded) Ella usually begins: Hello Richie.
We often repeat with variations, often not recorded: I love you.
An aged Ella, with life-threatening pneumonia history, will always feel the cold: It's very cold. (In Broad Yorkshire:) It's cawd.
Ella is a fluent (even witty) talker, despite her dementia. Her memory is sometimes jumbled. But that effect, in these transcripts, is more due to my inefficient note-taking than Ellas (vigorous) colloquial sentences.
Ellas memory myths; fabrications of what memories she can access, are fairly stable and intelligible supplies of meaning, to her bewildering losses of a sense of time and place, where and when she is. And her son and home, that the unspeakable authorities have kept her away from, could do more to make her whole again.
All our memories rest on a foundation of habit. The greater the habit, the stronger the foundation. The dementia sufferer has lost the time corrective to memories that are no longer true. And finds it harder to adjust to current realities. Instead of understanding and helping, with home care, officials are taking barbaric advantage of this mental handicap, and degrading it, by forcing helpless ailing elders into institutions.

Autorenporträt

My later years acknowledge the decisive benefit of the internet and the web in allowing me the possibility of publication, therefore giving the incentive to learn subjects to write about them.

While, from my youth, I acknowledge the intellectual debt that I owed a social science degree, while coming to radically disagree, even as a student, with its out-look and aims.

Whereas from middle age, I acknowledge how much I owed to the friendship of Dorothy Cowlin, largely the subject of my e-book, Dates and Dorothy. This is the second in a series of five books of my collected verse. Her letters to me, and my comments came out, in: Echoes of a Friend.....

Authors have played a big part in my life.
Years ago, two women independently asked me: Richard, don't you ever read anything but serious books?
But Dorothy was an author who influenced me personally, as well as from the written page. And that makes all the difference.
I was the author of the Democracy Science website since 1999. This combined scientific research with democratic reform. It is now mainly used as an archive. Since 2014, I have written e-books.
I have only become a book author myself, on retiring age, starting at stopping time!
2014, slightly modified 2022.
