Safer Childbirth?: A critical history of maternity care
ISBN: 9780412337406 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. All industrialized countries, in the last 50 years, have seen both an improvement in the safety of childbirth and the completion of a revolution in maternity care. This book aims to show that rather than being an advance in human welfare through the application of scientific knowledge to improve the natural process of birth, evidence shows that obstetric intervention only rarely improves the natural process.

Faulkner\'s Families
ISBN: 9781496845863 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contributions by Josephine Adams, Jeff Allred, Garry Bertholf, Maxwell Cassity, John N. Duvall, Katherine Henninger, Maude Hines, Robert Jackson, Julie Beth Napolin, Rebecca Nisetich, George Porter Thomas, Jay Watson, and Yuko Yamamoto If it seems outrageous to suggest that one of the twentieth century’s most important literary cartographers of the private recesses of consciousness is also among its great novelists of family, William Faulkner nonetheless fits the bill on both counts. Family played an outsized role in both his life and his writings, often in deeply problematic ways,...

Dying in Prison: Deaths from Natural Causes in Prison Culture, Regimes and Relationships
ISBN: 9783031271021 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book uses empirical data gathered using ethnographic methods in two contrasting prisons to provide a rare insight into death and dying in prisons in the UK.

It...

ISBN: 9780774867405 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The paradigm of family has shifted rapidly and dramatically, from nuclear unit to diverse constellations of intimacy.

This tension between transformation and stasis in family arrangements has an impact on economic, emotional, and legal aspects of daily life. House Rules critically explores the intertwining of norms and laws that govern familial relationships. This incisive collection provides tools to analyze those difficulties and, ultimately, to...
