Childbirth guru Dr Gowri Motha, who practises with Dr Yehudi Gordon – author of Birth and Beyond – shows women how her revolutionary method helps women carry the baby to full term, have less intervention in the birth; feel less pain in labour, and feel happy and in control. ? The Gentle Birth method is a concise pregnancy programme combining diverse therapies such as ‘creative healing’ massage, a simple diet, self-hypnosis, reflexology and affirmation techniques ? The method was created by Dr Gowri Motha as an alternative to conventional obstetric practise, when she became alarmed at the increasing number of women needing intervention during their births. It teaches expectant mothers how to train their bodies and minds in order to reduce or prevent complications during pregnancy and labour. ? This book outlines the Method, with a month-by-month programme explaining how to rebalance the body and tailor it to the optimum condition for the birthing process. It includes guides to treating problems such as: – back pain – nausea – heartburn – fluid retention – stretch marks ? The programme offers women a formal framework in which to prepare their bodies and so avoid facing a labour that is unnecessarily long, arduous and traumatic, with significantly lower uptakes of pain relief.

A F?ld más tájain is élnek tépázott idegzet? és gondterhelt szül?k – err?l hajlamosak vagyunk megfeledkezni, mik?zben probléma- és pelenkahegyeken verekedjük át magunkat nap mint nap… Szül?k, akik pont ugyanannyit aggódnak és bosszankodnak, és persze ugyanolyan büszkék is szemük fényére, mint mi!

Hipermodern tudományos módszerek és ?si rítusok, divattrendek és hagyományok ? mindenki másképp csinálja!

Mikor mondhatjuk, hogy kapcsolatunk kiegyensúlyozott a gyerekünkkel? Ha minden kérésünket szó nélkül teljesíti? Ha nem dacol, és az iskolában sincs rá panasz? De mi t?rténik, ha egy nap rossz jegyet hoz haza, ha duzzogva kivonja magát a házimunkából, ha nem tartja be nekünk tett ígéretét, s?t nem mond igazat? Akkor kevésbé fogjuk szeretni? Alfie Kohn, a gyermeknevelés elismert szakért?je határozottan állítja, hogy a kérdés komolyabb, mint el?sz?r gondolnánk. A gyermekek jelent?s részének komoly szorongást okoz, ha úgy érzi, nem ? maga, hanem a viselkedése számít. Mindegy, hogy büntetünk vagy jutalmazunk, az üzenet ugyanaz: csak akkor állunk ki mellette, ha azt csinálja, amit elvárunk t?le. Holott minden gyereknek alapvet? és legfontosabb igénye, hogy a szülei feltétel nélkül szeressék! Akkor is, ha nem fogad szót. Akkor is, ha csúnyán beszél, verekszik, vagy egyszer?en csak lustálkodni szeretne tanulás helyett… A Szül?k feltétel nélkül állításait komoly kutatások támasztják alá, és rengeteg gyakorlati tanáccsal látja el a hagyományos fegyelmezés ?rd?gi k?réb?l kit?rni vágyó szül?ket. Kerüljünk k?zelebb gyermekeinkhez! Ha nem rekesztjük ki ?ket saját életükb?l, ha engedjük ?ket d?nteni, és azt is tiszteletben tartjuk, ha d?ntéseik ellentétesek a mieinkkel, egy napon észre fogjuk venni, hogy már nemcsak terelgetjük ?ket – hanem együtt haladunk velük.Alfie Kohn Amerika-szerte ismert szakért?, tizennégy gyermeknevelési k?nyv szerz?je, egyetemek és konferenciák népszer? el?adója, televíziós m?sorok visszatér? vendége.

". . . aphorism are seldom couched in such terms, that they should be taken as they sound precisely, or according to the widest extent of signification; but do commonly need exposition, and admit exception: otherwise frequently they would not only clash with reason and experience, but interfere, thwart, and supplant one another." ? ? ? ? Issac Barrow "The very essence of an aphorism is that slight exaggeration which makes it more biting whilst less rigidly accurate." ? ? ? ?—Leslie Stephen There are of course, girls and girls; yet at heart they are pretty much alike. In age, naturally, they differ wildly. But this is a thorny subject. Suffice it to say that all men love all girls-the maid of sweet sixteen equally with the maid of untold age. There is something exasperatingly something-or-otherish about girls. And they know it—which makes them more something-or-otherish still:—there is no other word for it. A girl is a complicated thing. It is made up of clothes, smiles, a pompadour, things of which space and prudence forbid the enumeration here. These things by themselves do not constitute a girl which is obvious; nor is any one girl without these things which is not too obvious. Where the things end and the girl begins many men have tried to find out. Many girls would like to be men—except on occasions. At least so they say, but perhaps this is just a part of their something-or-otherishness. Why they should want to be men, men cannot conceive. Men pale before them, grow hot and cold before them, run before them (and after them), swear by them (and at them), and a bit of a chit of a thing in short skirts and lisle-thread stockings will twist able-bodied males round her little finger.It is an open secret that girls are fonder of men than they are of one another—which is very lucky for the men. Girls differ; and the same girl is different at different times. When she is by herself, she is one thing. When she is with other girls she is another thing. When she is with a lot of men, she is a third sort of thing. When she is with a man. . . But this baffled even Agur the son of Jakeh.As a rule, a man prefers a girl by herself. This is natural. And yet is said that you cannot have too much of a good thing. If this were true, a bevy of girls would be the height of happiness. Yet some men would sooner face the bulls of Bashan.Some foolish men—probably poets—have sought for and asserted the existence of the ideal girl. This is sheer nonsense: there is no such thing. And if there were, she could not compare with the real girl, the girl of flesh and blood—which (as some one ought to have said) are excellent things in woman. Other men, equally foolish, have regarded girls as playthings. I wish these men had tried to play with them. They would have found that they were playing with fire and brimstone. Yet the veriest spit-fire can be wondrous sweet.Sweet? Yes. On the whole a girl is the sweetest thing known or knowable. On the 6 whole of this terrestrial sphere Nature has produced nothing more adorable than the high-spirited high-bred girl.—Of this she is quite aware—to our cost (I speak as a man). The consequence is, her price has gone up, and man has to pay high and pay all sorts of things—ices, sweets, champagne, drives, church-goings, and sometimes spot-cash.

Evolutionary maternal effects occur whenever a mother's phenotypic traits directly affect her offspring's phenotype, independent of the offspring's genotype. Some of the phenotypic traits that result in maternal effects have a genetic basis, whereas others are environmentally determined. For example, the size of a litter produced by a mammalian mother-a trait with a strong genetic basis-can affect the growth rate of her offspring, while a mother's dominance rank-an environmentally determined trait-can affect the dominance rank of her offspring. The first volume published on the subject in more than a decade, Maternal Effects in Mammals reflects advances in genomic, ecological, and behavioral research, as well new understandings of the evolutionary interplay between mothers and their offspring. Dario Maestripieri and Jill M. Mateo bring together a learned group of contributors to synthesize the vast literature on a range of species, highlight evolutionary processes that were previously overlooked, and propose new avenues of research. Maternal Effects in Mammals will serve as the most comprehensive compendium on and stimulus for interdisciplinary treatments of mammalian maternal effects.

Stuart just wanted his father to love him, but he was made to believe he was too naughty to be loved. Finally David Howarth was sent to prison for abusing Stuart's young sisters. Nobody knew the truth about Stuart's abuse until one fateful day when his father tried it again and Stuart fought back in the only way he knew how. Stuart Howarth spent the first thirty years of his life in mental and physical hell. After years of emotional torment and despair, at the age of 32 Stuart felt an overwhelming urge to see his father (who he now knows was actually his stepfather), then living in Wales. Seeking reconciliation, Stuart was only to be met by the same old abusive man. The rage, pain and confusion boiled over in Stuart and he fought back, killing his stepfather. When Stuart's story came to light in the courtroom, it was so terrible that he received the minimum possible sentence for his crime and only served thirteen months in Strangeways prison in Manchester. But while in prison, the cruel system compounded the crimes of his evil abuser, and he suffered at the hands of the prison guards. What happened to him during those months led to him suing the Home Office and Strangeways on his release and winning his case. This is the story of a sweet-natured boy who grew into a brave young man and refused to allow himself to be a victim any longer.

A fabulous new guide to dating co-authored by Greg Behrendt, former writer on Sex and the City, who won women's hearts with his three million copy bestseller He's Just Not That Into You. What ever happened to dating? Used to be that a guy would ask a girl out. He'd pick her up at her house and take her out for dinner, a movie, or a cup of coffee and some conversation.

It's Just a Date gives you tools, not rules that you can use, while also opening you up to new ideas about how to date and who might be right for you. The book shows us how things have changed on the dating scene and what we need to do to adapt, including – ? How the digital age has changed dating, from texting (the new not calling) to online dating. ? The compromise: hooking up, booty calls and quasi dates – was it or wasn't it a date? ? Exit strategies – how to pull the plug when the dating isn't working out. Dating doesn't have to be hard – in fact, if not taken so seriously, it can be seriously fun.
