THE AMERICAN WAY of BIRTH
by Jessica Mitford

Mitford's probe into American obstetrics as well as the hospitals, clinics, and welfare agencies that supervise the prenatal care and births of American babies results in an indictment of the medical practices surrounding something that should not make us sick--giving birth.

She shows us how and in what circumstances Americans give birth. At the start, she knew no more of the subject, and not less, than any mother does. Recalling her experiences in the 1930s and 1940s of giving birth - in London, in Washington, D.C., and in Oakland, California - she observes, "A curious amnesia takes over in which all memory of the discomforts you have endured is wiped out, and your determination never, ever to do that again fast fades." But then, years later in 1989 - when her own children were adults, and birth a subject of no special interest to her - she meet a young woman, a midwife in Northern California who was being harassed by government agents and the medical establishment. Her sympathies, along with her reportorial instincts, were immediately stirred. There was a story there that needed to be explored and revealed. Far more than she anticipated then, she was at the beginning of an investigation that would lead her over the next three years to the writing of this extraordinary book. This is not a book about the miracle of life. It is about the role of money and politics in a lucrative industry; a saga of champagne birthing suites for the rich and desperate measures for the poor. It is a colorful history - from the torture and burning of midwives in medieval times, through the absurd pretensions of the modest Victorian age, to this century's vast succession of anaesthetic, technological, and "natural" birthing fashions. And it is a comprehensive indictment of the politics of birth and national health. Jessica Mitford explores conventional and alternative methods, and the costs of having a child. She gives flesh-and-blood meaning to the cold statistics. Daring to ask hard questions and skeptical of soft answers.

What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About PREMENOPAUSE
Balance Your Hormones and Your Life from Thirty to Fifty
by John R. Lee, M.D. and Jesse Hanley, M.D. and Virginia Hopkins

Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause. John Lee, M.D., is a well-known advocate of the benefits of natural progesterone and the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Jesse Hanley, M.D., adds sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of premenopause. The authors recommend natural progesterone cream to balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better. They also discuss the dangers of xenohormones--substances not found in nature that have hormonal effects--frequently found in pesticides, solvents, plastics, and hormone-treated meat. The book presents common symptoms of premenopause with suggested natural treatments (progesterone cream, diet, vitamins, and herbs) and substances to avoid, plus additional chapters on diet and exercise. Many case studies help to bring the information into perspective. If you are premenopausal (or close to someone who is), this is a valuable resource

GROWING UP
by Karl de Schweinitz

How was I born?
Where do babies come from?

The story of how we become alive, are born, and grow up...

There is no more interesting story than how human beings and animals begin their lives. What starts us living? How are we born? These are two of the questions every parent, sooner or later, has to answer.

...explains to children directly, simply, the facts of procreation, birth and early; growth....Illustrations supplement the text and increase its readability.

...places the story in life itself with people and animals in their likenesses and differences - courtship in animals, love with man and woman.

ALL GROWN UP and NO PLACE TO GO: Teenagers in Crisis
by David Elkind (author of The Hurried Child)

All Grown Up and No Place to Go spotlights the pressures on teenagers to grow up quickly. The resulting problems range from common alienation to self-destructive behavior. Quoting teenagers themselves, Elkind shows why adolescence is a time of "thinking in a new key," and how young people need this time to get used to the social and emotional changes their new thinking brings. Many of his ideas, such as the "imaginary audience" that makes teens so self-conscious, have become seminal in adolescent psychology. In this thoroughly revised edition, Elkind also explores the "post-modern family" in which teenagers are growing up. He helps parents and those who work with youth understand teens in crucial ways, because the root of so many adolescent frictions is the gap between what teenagers need and what our culture provides.

BREASTFEEDING YOUR BABY
Includes Practical Advice from over 200 Women
by Jane Moody, Jane Britten and Karen Hogg

More and more evidence is confirming that "breast is best" for both baby and mother. Increasing numbers of women are choosing to breastfeed, yet sometimes "the natural thing to do" can present difficulties.

What's special about breast milk?

This book is written by three breastfeeding counselors and draws on the experience of the National Childbirth Trust—which handles more than 114,000 inquiries a year—to answer the questions parents have about breastfeeding.

How does breastfeeding work?

Nearly 200 women contributed their experiences to the authors of this book. They talk about their experience breastfeeding, from the first few days when they are learning with their baby, through to becoming confident together, returning to work and weaning.

Can I breastfeed twins?

Women describe feeding twins, premature babies and older babies. They talk about how they coped with problems such as soreness, growth spurts, colicky babies and feeding a baby with special needs.

Will I enjoy breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding Your Baby supplies the facts and the figures, along with detailed information boxes to get you off to a good start. Breastfeeding Your Baby won't tell you the right answers—but it will help you decide what's best for you and your child.

"Parents share their experiences about what having a baby is really like—a real plus."

COMPLETE BOOK OF PREGNANCY & BABY'S FIRST YEAR
The Ultimate Guide for Expectant Parents!

"Summoning information from the Mayo Clinic's expert staffs in obstetrics, pediatrics, family medicine and parent education, this detailed companion for prospective parents and the parents of very young children offers more than ample guidance on what seems an almost infinite range of subjects and important decisions facing parents. Though focusing for the most part on basic prenatal, birthing and developmental counseling, the book goes well beyond the minimum standard expected. For example, in the chapter ``Pregnancy and Ongoing Medical Conditions,'' the contributors discuss the effects of AIDS and herpes on pregnancy; an entire chapter is devoted to the medical, psychological and bureaucratic aspects of adoption; another counsels mothers on when and how to return to their jobs after childbirth."

- Normal and High-Risk Pregnancies.
- All Aspects of Birth Preparation.
- The Birth Experience.
- Details on Baby Care and Development.
- Practical Guide to Infant Illnesses, Medical Problems and Emergencies.
- Complete Information on Women's Health During the Year After Childbirth.
- Special Chapters for Fathers, Working Parents, Adoptive Parents, Parents of Premature Babies and Twins.

ONE TINY HOPE
A Journal to My Adopted Child
by Kari Gilliam Palmer

Moving memoir offers insight into emotions surrounding adoption.

From the very first page, this compelling exploration of infertility and adoptions issues captivates readers. In journal style addressed to her future adopted child, Palmer writes candidly about her experiences and feelings while traveling the often rough road from infertility to adoption.

Although there are many books available that explain the adoption process, this one explores instead the emotional issues prospective adoptive parents must face. It is not a how-to for adoption, but rather a story of how one woman deals first with infertility and it's impact on her marriage, then with the pursuit of adoption, despite overwhelming odds.

In this book, you'll learn:
- About the dark side of the adoption world and how to avoid it.
- Some of the myths surrounding birth mothers.
- That carrying a baby to term does not necessarily equate to love for a child.
- How important perseverance and hope are go the adoption process.

SURVIVING CHILDHOOD CANCER
A Guide for Families
by Margot Joan Fromer

This book is intended for children who have the disease and for their families. Not just mothers and fathers, but brothers and sisters too, for they are as severely affected - in a different way - as the patients themselves. It is also for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. The outlook for children with cancer has improved greatly in the past several decades. Still, cancer in a child is an overwhelming experience for a family. Surviving Childhood Cancer: A Guide for Families describes the illness, its treatment, and how it changes the lives of both the child with cancer and his or her family. Although there is no simple recipe for survival, there are ways to make the experience of cancer more bearable. Written with great sensitivity and understanding, this book provides practical advice about how to cope with emotions and stress; how to handle communication about the illness with the child as well as with family members, friends, classmates, employers, and others; where to obtain information and help; and how to develop honest and trusting relationships with medical caregivers. Interwoven throughout the text are many insightful and inspirational stories of those who have faced and survived cancer; through these, the reader learns how others have not only gotten through the ordeal but also emerged from it stronger and more aware of what is truly important in life.

THE MOZART EFFECT
Tapping the power of music to heal the body, strengthen the mind, and unlock the creative spirit.
by Don Campbell

Anyone who has ever seen a two-year-old start bouncing to a beat knows that music speaks to us on a very deep level. But it took celebrated teacher and music visionary Don Campbell to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect. Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body, the mind, and the soul. Campbell shows how modern science has begun to confirm this ancient wisdom, finding evidence that listening to certain types of music can improve the quality of life in almost every respect. Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and even mental illness. Always clear and compelling, Campbell recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow exercises to raise your spatial IQ, "sound away" pain, boost creativity, and make the spirit sing!

THE NURSING MOTHER'S COMPANION
by Kathleen Huggins

Most books about breastfeeding are heavy on nursing's mystical rewards and light on actual technique. Huggins, a maternal nurse and professional lactation consultant, corrects the imbalance with a lucid, trouble-shooting guide, in which she points out that while nursing is unquestionably the healthiest, most natural way to feed babies, it is not always blissful for the mother. The author tackles various common and uncommon complaints about breastfeeding from inadequate milk supply, breast pain, engorgement and fussy babies to infections, allergies and breast-milk jaundice that could affect the child. In a chapter on nursing mothers who work outside of the home, Huggins offers an instructive review of breast pumps. Her reassuring, practical suggestions make this book an excellent informational companion.
