Book excerpt: An era has ended. The political expression that most galvanized evangelicals during the past quarter-century, the Religious Right, is fading. What's ahead is unclear. Millions of faith-based voters still exist, and they continue to care deeply about hot-button issues like abortion and gay marriage, but the shape of their future political engagement remains to be formed. Into this uncertainty, former White House insiders Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner seek to call evangelicals toward a new kind of political engagement -- a kind that is better both for the church and the country, a kind that cannot be co-opted by either political party, a kind that avoids the historic mistakes of both the Religious Left and the Religious Right. Incisive, bold, and marked equally by pragmatism and idealism, Gerson and Wehner's new book has the potential to chart a new political future not just for values voters, but for the nation as a whole.

Download or read book Becoming Brazilians written by Marshall C. Eakin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the rise and decline of Gilberto Freyre's vision of racial and cultural mixture (mestiçagem - or race mixing) as the defining feature of Brazilian culture in the twentieth century. Eakin traces how mestiçagem moved from a conversation among a small group of intellectuals to become the dominant feature of Brazilian national identity, demonstrating how diverse Brazilians embraced mestiçagem, via popular music, film and television, literature, soccer, and protest movements. The Freyrean vision of the unity of Brazilians built on mestiçagem begins a gradual decline in the 1980s with the emergence of an identity politics stressing racial differences and multiculturalism. The book combines intellectual history, sociological and anthropological field work, political science, and cultural studies for a wide-ranging analysis of how Brazilians - across social classes - became Brazilians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several reasons why a consolidation of recent advances in our understanding of the interaction of diarrhea and malnutrition is indi cated and timely. It is now widely recognized that diarrhea is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children of poor countries. Due to recent advances in laboratory and field diagnostic techniques, many of the previously unrecognized etiologic agents responsible for diarrhea have been identified, thereby providing new scientific knowledge for rational control strategies. Increasingly these advances suggest that the morbidity burden of diarrhea may be of equal, if not greater, public health consequence than mortality. Diarrhea only rarely causes disease severe enough to require institutionalized medical care. The vast major ity of diseases are of mild or moderate severity, and because of high prev alence, diarrhea imposes an enormous morbidity burden and exerts a sig nificant negative impact on child growth and development. Moreover, the effects of successive episodes of diarrhea are likely to be cumulative. In contrast to several other childhood infections, the treatment of the diarrheal diseases is feasible because it uses simple, effective, and low cost medical technologies. Within the context of these developments, there has been a major resurgence of international interest in, and commitment to, the control of the diarrheal diseases. The World Health Organization recently has launched a global program for the control of diarrhea, and simulta neously, an independent international research center on diarrhea has been established in Bangladesh.

Book excerpt: L'allaitement maternel est la forme d'alimentation la plus adaptée pour les nourrissons et les jeunes enfants. Pourtant, la durée de l'allaitement en France est particulièrement courte par rapport à celle de la plupart des pays développés et ne répond pas aux recommandations. Si la lactation est naturelle et physiologique, l'allaitement n'est pas instinctif. La perte de la modélisation de l'allaitement dans notre société et donc la perte des repères engendrent une diminution de confiance des mères dans leur capacité à nourrir leur(s) bébé(s). La méconnaissance de la physiologie et de nombreuses idées reçues peuvent être alors à l'origine de conseils et de conduites inadaptés conduisant rapidement à l'arrêt de la lactation chez des mères désireuses de poursuivre leur allaitement. Nous proposons dans cet ouvrage illustré de répondre à 100 questions, de la mise en place de l'allaitement à sa poursuite chez l'enfant devenu plus grand, tout en détaillant la physiologie de la lactation, les idées reçues et les cas particuliers pour la mère et l'enfant. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux parents qui souhaitent s'informer sur l'allaitement ainsi qu'aux professionnels de santé susceptibles d'accompagner les jeunes parents dans leur projet d'allaitement.
