Download or read book Pea in a Pod Third Edition written by Linda Goldberg and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​*** OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD *** Pregnancy and childbirth are not what they used to be. Back in the good ol’ days, mothers-to-be visited their obstetricians once a month, did exactly what they were told, and gave birth while heavily sedated or anesthetized. Their partners paced nervously in the waiting room, barred from the inner sanctum of the labor and delivery rooms. Although some expectant parents still stand on the sidelines, more choose to be active players. If you want to be a participant rather than a spectator in the birth of your baby, Pea in a Pod, Third Edition is your playbook. Up-to-date and complete, Pea in a Pod is a “one-stop-shopping” guide that provides a wealth of pertinent, accurate information for expectant parents. With topics that begin with fertilization and continue through pregnancy, childbirth, and baby’s first year, this comprehensive work could easily be called Absolutely Everything You Need to Know About Pregnancy, Birth, Breastfeeding, and the Newborn. After presenting a general overview of available birthing options and caregiver choices, the book offers a detailed description of conception and fetal development, along with the physical and emotional changes to expect during pregnancy. It provides important nutritional guidelines; exercise plans for the mother-to-be, new mother, and cesarean mother; information on prenatal tests and procedures; and a wealth of hints for the father-to-be, labor partner, and new father. Also included is a variety of effective relaxation techniques and breathing methods to help manage the work of labor. And since every labor is different and may not necessarily go “by the book,” labor variations are discussed along with the most common interventions and medications. The final chapters focus on the basics of infant care, detailing such topics as breastfeeding, childhood immunizations, and infant massage. Clear, step-by-step instructions for handling emergencies such as choking are presented, as well as directions for performing infant CPR. The birth of a baby is one of the most significant events in a parent’s lifetime. Whether this is your first birth or your first “prepared” birth, Pea in a Pod will help make the journey from pregnancy to parenthood both memorable and rewarding.

Download or read book The World According to Color written by James Fox and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A kaleidoscopic exploration that traverses history, literature, art, and science to reveal humans' unique and vibrant relationship with color. We have an extraordinary connection to color—we give it meanings, associations, and properties that last millennia and span cultures, continents, and languages. In The World According to Color, James Fox takes seven elemental colors—black, red, yellow, blue, white, purple, and green—and uncovers behind each a root idea, based on visual resemblances and common symbolism throughout history. Through a series of stories and vignettes, the book then traces these meanings to show how they morphed and multiplied and, ultimately, how they reveal a great deal about the societies that produced them: reflecting and shaping their hopes, fears, prejudices, and preoccupations. Fox also examines the science of how our eyes and brains interpret light and color, and shows how this is inherently linked with the meanings we give to hue. And using his background as an art historian, he explores many of the milestones in the history of art—from Bronze Age gold-work to Turner, Titian to Yves Klein—in a fresh way. Fox also weaves in literature, philosophy, cinema, archaeology, and art—moving from Monet to Marco Polo, early Japanese ink artists to Shakespeare and Goethe to James Bond. By creating a new history of color, Fox reveals a new story about humans and our place in the universe: second only to language, color is the greatest carrier of cultural meaning in our world.
