Download or read book Sex Love Race written by Martha Hodes and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the colonial era, North America has been defined and continually redefined by the intersections of sex, violence, and love across racial boundaries. Motivated by conquest, economics, desire, and romance, such crossings have profoundly affected American society by disturbing dominant ideas about race and sexuality. Sex, Love, Race provides a historical foundation for contemporary discussions of sex across racial lines, which, despite the numbers of interracial marriages and multi-racial children, remains a controversial issue today. The first historical anthology to focus solely and widely on the subject, Sex, Love, Race gathers new essays by both younger and well-known scholars which probe why and how sex across racial boundaries has so threatened Americans of all colors and classes. Traversing the whole of American history, from liaisons among Indians, Europeans, and Africans to twentieth-century social scientists' fascination with sex between Asian Americans and whits, the essays cover a range of regions, and of racial, ethnic, and sexual identities, in North America"--Back cover

The Stress-Free Pregnancy Guide dispels myths and puts mothers’ endless worries to rest with a healthy dose of reassuring and reader-friendly advice based on renowned obstetrician Carol Livoti’s 30 years of experience in private practice. Expectant moms will discover exactly why their bodies are experiencing certain changes, what else to expect, and how to recognize any rare but real problems should they occur. From before conception through the postpartum period, the authors lead women through every step of their pregnancy with sound, practical medical advice. Filled with useful sidebars that help separate fact from fiction, and delightful anecdotes from Dr. Livoti’s own practice, The Stress-Free Pregnancy Guide shows women that the most exciting time in their lives should not be fraught with unnecessary worry.
Download or read book Preterm Birth written by Felice Petraglia and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-02-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preterm delivery is probably the most important problem in obstetrics, and a major public health concern. Recent developments - such as the preventive use of progesterone, and new data on possible mechanisms of initiation of parturition – have placed the topic at the forefront of the interests and preoccupation of many in maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics. Recent studies have found that preterm deliveries have increased even amongst low risk women. Also shown is that assisted conceptions, multiple pregnancies and elective deliveries are associated with early birth. The impact on society is considerable. Preterm birth can also have considerable impact on long-term health, including severe mental or physical disability. With all this being currently debated, Obstetricians should re-evaluate the risks and benefits of delivering babies earlier. This book, published in collaboration with the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, is a balanced, authoritative, well-referenced work with a rigorous underpinning of basic science and evidence-based clinical guidelines. The Editors have ensured that there is development of modern ideas throughout regarding understanding, research, prevention and treatment of preterm birth. The book will be essential reading for Specialists in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Obstetrics and Perinatology. Since the book also highlights definitions, classifications and management algorithms, it will also be useful to general ObGyns, both in practice and training.
Download or read book The New Rules of Pregnancy written by Adrienne L. Simone and published by Artisan. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 National Parenting Product Award (NAPPA) Winner Finally, a calming pregnancy book that cuts through the noise to tell expectant mothers exactly what they need to know—and what they can stop obsessing about and over-researching. In The New Rules of Pregnancy, two leading OB-GYNs guide you, the modern pregnant woman, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest, compassionate, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby’s development, it’s all about you, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent, busy reader (who, somewhere inside, is shouting, “Just tell me what to do!”). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered—from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues (“What makes it postpartum depression?”). The book also covers that critical “fourth trimester”—“Nursing” and “How to Feel Like Yourself Again”—because once the baby is born, self-care typically goes out the window, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth—two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest, calmest, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book’s voice—motivating, supportive, real—comes from Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health Rules.
