The Afterlife Is Where We Come from: The Culture of Infancy in West Africa
ISBN: 9780226305028 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Mother-Infant Bonding: A Scientific Fiction
ISBN: 9780300060515 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two decades ago two pediatricians published a series of articles and books arguing that mothers and their infants must be physically close immediately after birth in order for their future relationship to develop properly. Their studies were inspired by research on animals--especially goats--showing that they reject their offspring if they have been separated even briefly right after birth. Some child care experts expanded on this idea and proclaimed that mother-infant bonding should be continued for the first year of a child's life. In spite of the fact that the research findings on bonding...
