Masters of the Living Energy: The Mystical World of the Q'ero of Peru
by Joan Parisi WilcoxAn intimate glimpse into the world of ancient Peruvian spiritual practice and cosmology• Reveals the mysteries of the world of living energy (kawsay pacha) through intensive in-depth interviews with six Q’ero mystics• Explores the energetics, spirits, tools, and practices of Andean mysticism--the real story behind the fictionalized accounts in The Celestine Prophecy Known as the “keepers of the ancient knowledge,” the Q’ero Indians of Peru are the most respected mystics of the south-central Andes. In 1996 Joan Parisi Wilcox traveled to the Andes and was able to record the mysteries of kawsay pacha, the multidimensional world of living energy, through more than 40 hours of intensive interviews with six Q’ero paqos, masters of the ancient spiritual traditions of Peru. The Q’ero are known for having preserved the Inca spiritual tradition more purely than any other indigenous population in the Andes. The in-depth interviews presented in this book recount the direct words of these masters so readers can discover for themselves the mind and heart space of these people. Four new chapters of this revised edition focus on the work of the mesa, the Andean form of a spiritual medicine bundle, and its use as a conduit for the healing energies of nature. The mesa is called the “heart’s fire” because it represents the finest energy--the energy of compassion--that a paqo cultivates while walking the sacred path. Wilcox provides instructions on how to make, activate, and work with a mesa, as well as other practical exercises showing how we can use the power of the Andean spiritual tradition in our own lives.

Match Analysis: How to Use Data in Professional Sport
by Daniel MemmertMatch analysis is a performance-diagnostic procedure, which can be used to carry out systematic gaming analysis during competition and training. The analysis of team and racket sports, whether in competition, for opponent preparation (match plan), follow-up, or training is nowadays indispensable in many sports games at different levels. This analysis nevertheless presents many open questions and problem areas: Which data should be used? Who manages the data? Who provides whom with which information? How is this information presented, digested, and applied? The more complex and anonymous the data management is, the more commercial, expensive, and uncontrollable information management and provision becomes. Match Analysis: How to Use Data in Professional Sport is the first book to examine this topic through three types of data sets; video, event, and position data and show how to interpret this data and apply the findings for better team and individual sport performance. This innovative new volume is key reading for researchers, students, and practitioners alike in the fields of Coaching, Performance Analysis, Sport Management, and related specific sport disciplines.

Material Mystery: The Flesh of the World in Three Mythic Bodies
by Karmen MacKendrickMaterial Mystery considers three apparently anthropocentric myths that are central to Abrahamic religions—those of the primal human, the incarnated and possibly divine redeemer, and the resurrected body. At first glance, these stories reinforce a human-centered theology and point to a very anthropomorphic God. Taking them seriously seems to ignore the material turn in the humanities entirely, with the same sort of willful ignorance that some of our politicians show in declaring that their myths count as facts, or that the point of the rest of the world is to further human consumption. But it is possible, Karmen MacKendrick shows, to read these figures through a particular tradition that emerges from the Hebrew Bible, the tradition of Wisdom as a creative force. Wisdom texts are common across the ancient Near East. As the idea of creative Wisdom develops from antiquity into the middle ages, it gathers philosophical influences from a range of philosophical traditions. This exuberantly promiscuous impurity—intellectual, artistic, and theological—generates new interpretive possibilities. In these interpretations, each human-like figure opens up onto the world''s matter, as an interdependent part of it, and matter is thoroughly mixed with divinity. Such mythic readings complement our factual, scientific understanding of the material world, to engage wider kinds of knowing and affective attention—particularly Wisdom''s combination of care and delight.

Maternal Death and Pregnancy-Related Morbidity Among Indigenous Women of Mexico and Central America: An Anthropological, Epidemiological, And Biomedical Approach (Global Maternal and Child Health)
by David A. SchwartzThis ambitious sourcebook surveys both the traditional basis for and the present state of indigenous women’s reproductive health in Mexico and Central America. Noted practitioners, specialists, and researchers take an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the multiple barriers for access and care to indigenous women that had been complicated by longstanding gender inequities, poverty, stigmatization, lack of education, war, obstetrical violence, and differences in language and customs, all of which contribute to unnecessary maternal morbidity and mortality. Emphasis is placed on indigenous cultures and folkways—from traditional midwives and birth attendants to indigenous botanical medication and traditional healing and spiritual practices—and how they may effectively coexist with modern biomedical care. Throughout these chapters, the main theme is clear: the rights of indigenous women to culturally respective reproductive health care and a successful pregnancy leading to the birth of healthy children.A sampling of the topics: Motherhood and modernization in a Yucatec village Maternal morbidity and mortality in Honduran Miskito communities Solitary birth and maternal mortality among the Rarámuri of Northern Mexico Maternal morbidity and mortality in the rural Trifino region of Guatemala The traditional Ngäbe-Buglé midwives of Panama Characterizations of maternal death among Mayan women in Yucatan, Mexico Unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and unmet need in GuatemalaMaternal Death and Pregnancy-Related Morbidity Among Indigenous Women of Mexico and Central America is designed for anthropologists and other social scientists, physicians, nurses and midwives, public health specialists, epidemiologists, global health workers, international aid organizations and NGOs, governmental agencies, administrators, policy-makers, and others involved in the planning and implementation of maternal and reproductive health care of indigenous women in Mexico and Central America, and possibly other geographical areas.
Maternal Health and American Cultural Values: Beyond the Social Determinants (Global Maternal and Child Health)
by Barbara A. Anderson Lisa R. RobertsThis book uniquely explores American cultural values as a factor in maternal health. It looks beyond the social determinants of health as primarily contributing to the escalating maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States. The United States is an outlier with poor maternal health outcomes and high morbidity/mortality in comparison to other high-resource and many mid-level resource nations. While the social determinants of health identify social and environmental conditions affecting maternal health, they do not answer the broader underlying question of why many American women, in a high-resource environment, experience poor maternal health outcomes. Frequent near-misses, high levels of severe childbearing-related morbidity, and high maternal mortality are comparable to those of lower-resource nations. This book includes contributions from recognized medical and cultural anthropologists, and diverse clinical and public health professionals. The authors examine American patterns of decision-making from the perspectives of intersecting social, cultural, and medical values influencing maternal health outcomes. Using an interdisciplinary critical analysis approach, the work draws upon decision-making theory and life course theory. Topics explored include: Cultural values as a basis for decision-makingSocial regard for motherhoodImmigrants, refugees and undocumented mothersCultural conflicts and maternal autonomyHealth outcomes among justice-involved mothers Maternal Health and American Cultural Values: Beyond the Social Determinants is an essential resource for clinical and public health practitioners and their students, providing a framework for graduate-level courses in public health, the health sciences, women’s studies, and the social sciences. The book also targets anthropologists, sociologists, and women studies scholars seeking to explain the links between American cultural decision-making and health outcomes. Policy-makers, ethicists, journalists, and advocates for reproductive health justice also would find the text a useful resource.
Maternal Mortality, Human Rights and Accountability

As well as revised and updated conference papers, this volume includes a rich collection of additional resource material on maternal mortality, human rights and accountability.

Maternal-Fetal Nutrition during Pregnancy and Lactation
by Michael E. Symonds Margaret M. RamsayImproving clinicians' understanding of effects nutrition can have on maternal health and fetal and neonatal development can have considerable impact on achieving a healthy pregnancy and reducing childhood morbidity. This book defines the nutritional requirements with regard to each stage of fetal development and growth, placing scientific developments into a clinical context. Clinicians and scientists discuss: how the fetus grows and what macro- and micronutrients it requires; what happens when there is nutrient deficiency and when placental development is abnormal; aspects of infant feeding, both with breast milk and formula milk. Specific problems encountered in pregnancy that pose a nutritional challenge are also considered, including pregnancy in teenagers, multiple pregnancies and pregnancy in those who are vegetarians or vegans. All doctors, health-care workers or scientists who either care for women, their newborn and growing infants, or who are involved in research in these areas, will find this to be essential reading.
Maternar consciente: Entiende tus emociones para cuidar de ti y de tu bebé
by Ester López Turrillo«El libro que todas las madres necesitamos leer».Sonia Encinas Un libro que te ayudará a poner palabras a tus emociones —a aquello que sientes y te cuesta reconocer— para que puedas vivir tu maternidad en plenitud. Durante el embarazo, el parto y el posparto, experimentamos cambios que van más allá de lo puramente físico. Cambiamos por fuera, pero también por dentro... Nos han enseñado que debemos huir de las emociones incómodas, pero ¿cómo evitarlas en un proceso de transformación tan intenso como es la maternidad? Hemos creado un imaginario sobre la experiencia materna en el que solo cabe la felicidad, pero la realidad es bien distinta: sentir miedo, tristeza, culpa e, incluso, frustración es mucho más habitual de lo que imaginas. No eres la única que lo siente. No estás sola. Nos faltan espacios en los que las madres podamos nombrar todo lo que nos pasa, las luces y las sombras de la maternidad, y toda la gama de matices que hay en medio. Este libro es un recorrido honesto por las emociones que acompañan al embarazo, al parto, al posparto y también a los posibles duelos. Desde mi propia experiencia maternando a dos niñas y acompañando a madres en terapia, mi intención es que encuentres alivio, que entiendas un poco más tus emociones, que no las silencies, que no te juzgues por sentir. Ojalá que con esta lectura aprendas a acompañarte y a aceptarte en medio de tanta transformación. Reseñas:«Un libro para liberarte de esas falsas expectativas sobre la maternidad que te llevan directamente a la culpa. Un libro para reconciliarte con tus propias maneras, para entenderte y acompañarte en la experiencia brutal que es la maternidad».Sonia Encinas, comunicadora, sexóloga y madre «Desde que conocí a Ester, la hermosura de sus textos y su peculiar manera de escribir, cálida y sensible, me atrapaban en cada una de sus publicaciones. No me cabe duda de que con este libro atrapará de principio a fin a muchísimas madres que se verán reflejadas al leerlo».Sonia Dabalsa @criaramando_amarcriando, consultora de maternidad y crianza «Ser madre es un viaje de aprendizaje, de catarsis y de sanación con nuestras propias heridas. En esa revolución personal que es la maternidad, muchas de nosotras nos encontramos solas ante un montón de preguntas para las que nunca se nos ha ofrecido respuesta. Ester, con una manera de narrar cercana y honesta, valiéndose de su experiencia como psicóloga y, sobre todo, como (bi)madre, te habla en este libro como una amiga dispuesta a acompañarte en cada paso del camino de la maternidad».Marta Cabrera @redwoodbird, creadora digital, productora de cine y madre de dos hijas«Qué suerte tenemos las mujeres al contar con las palabras de Ester… Este libro es un rayo de luz sobre la realidad, hermosa y cruda, de la maternidad, pero también de su magia. Un relato que nos recuerda la necesidad de que la mujer salvaje que llevamos dentro salga y ocupe el espacio que merece».Anna Ruiz @menta_ycanela, médico de familia
