Moiste “kasvatushirm”, nagu seda uldiselt kasutatakse, viitab paanikale (mis on vastsete lapsevanemate seas tavaline), et see muutiline teadmuse late mingil pohjusel ei vallandugi. Raamatu keskne eeldus on, et paljud nuudisaja uhiskonna lastekasvatusstrateegiad annavad tegelikult tagasilooke – kuna olulised teaduslikud teekaanakud on jaetud kahe silma vahele. Sellest tulenevad vaarad eeldused laste arengu kohta on moonutanud lastekasvatamise tavasid, koolide oppekavasid ja sotsiaalpoliitikat. Kaesoleva raamatu eesmark ei ole hairekella luua, vaid opetada meid lastest teistmoodi, sugavamalt ja selgemalt motlema. Raamatus kasitletud teemad on laiahaardelised, puhendatud vordsetes osades aju ehitusele ja moraalsetele toekspidamistele. Need seostuvad igas eas lastega, mudilastest teismelisteni. Autorid on puhendanud eraldi peatukid laste enesekindlusele, oounele, valetamisele, rassistlikele hoiakutele, intelligentsusele, odede-vendade konfliktile, teismeea massule, enesekontrollile, agressioonile, tanulikkusele ja keeleoskuse omandamisele.

The keys to better business from a thriving group of business owners-the Amish Business can be discouraging. According to US Department of Labor figures, only 44 percent of newly-opened firms will last four years. Amish firms, on the other hand, have registered a 95% survival rate over a five-year period. And in many cases, those businesses do remarkably well-as Donald Kraybill writes: «the phrase 'Amish millionaire' is no longer an oxymoron.» Success Made Simple is the first practical book of Amish business success principles for the non-Amish reader. The work provides a platform of transferable principles–simple and universal enough to be applied in the non-Amish world, in a wide variety of business and management settings. Learn how to develop profitable and fulfilling enterprises as Amish explain how to build fruitful relationships with customers and employees, prosper by playing to strengths, and create an effective marketing story Includes interviews with over 50 Amish business owners outline the role of relationships in business and the importance of the big picture-taking in long-term goals, the welfare of others, and personal integrity Offers ideas on practical application of Amish business practices to non-Amish businesses, with bullet summaries at the end of each chapter reviewing the most important take-away points With a focus on relationship-building and the big picture, Success Made Simple offers business owners everywhere the tools for better, smarter, more successful enterprises.

The role of the community midwife differs dramatically from that of a hospital based practitioner but many midwifes entering this area of practice may not feel well equipped for this diverse experience. Community Midwifery Practice is the first text specifically tailored to meet the needs of community midwives, providing a practical, skills-based guide to improving and underpinning their day-to-day practice with an emphasis on ‘normal’ birth and the importance of developing relationships with the women they are charged with helping. This accessible text includes information on the broad range of skills required by midwives working in community settings, providing practical guidance on issues such as supporting women with HIV/AIDS, issues surrounding domestic abuse, perinatal mental health, and pelvic girdle pain. Community Midwifery Practice will provide all midwives who work in community placements with a comprehensive, accessible tool designed to assist them in all aspects of their practice.

Praise for previous editions: “An excellent resource for both student midwives and qualified staff alike.” (Alison James, Midwifery Lecturer, Plymouth University) "A lovely book with a lot of practical advice and easy to navigate. (Jayne Samples, Midwifery Lecturer, University of Huddersfield) This fully revised and updated third edition of The Midwife’s Labour and Birth Handbook is a practical and accessible guide to midwifery care. It addresses important questions such as: Why are women being pressured into caesarean section for breech presentation when the evidence is equivocal? If a baby needs assisted ventilation breaths at birth, why not bring the ambubag to the baby and leave the cord intact so the baby can benefit from the extra maternal oxygen supply? Why is skin-to-skin contact at birth so rarely offered to preterm babies when there is evidence of benefit? This well-regarded text promotes normality and woman-centred care, using research, evidence-based guidelines and anecdotal accounts from women. It challenges practice and guidelines which are biased or based on poor evidence. Guidance is offered on how to deal with difficult, sometimes controversial, situations. The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook 3rd edition is an essential guide for both student midwives and experienced practising midwives. New to this edition: Full colour photographs including a kneeling breech birth Suturing diagrams to assist left-handed midwives. Expanded chapters on slow progress in labour and malposition/malpresentations, including a rare photograph of a face presentation birth.
