Somos la leche: Dudas, consejos y falsos mitos sobre la lactancia
by Alba PadróAlba Padró, desde su experiencia como madre y consultora de lactancia, te ofrece en Somos la leche las claves para conseguir que la lactancia sea un acto placentero para ti y tu bebé. La maternidad es una etapa desconocida, llena de mitos y miedos, si eres madre primeriza. Y si quieres amamantar a tu bebé, debes saber que se puede aprender a dar el pecho, que no es un acto instintivo. Disponer de información y apoyo es vital para poder decidir sobre cada aspecto de la lactancia. Somos la leche responde a las preguntas más frecuentes que se puede hacer una madre primeriza: ¿Cómo me preparo para la lactancia? ¿Qué pasa si mi bebé no se agarra bien o no gana peso? ¿Hasta cuándo debo dar el pecho y cuándo se recomienda el destete? ¿Cómo compatibilizo la lactancia materna con la vuelta al trabajo? ¿Qué cacharros necesito realmente para dar de mamar? Este libro también da respuesta a otras muchas cuestiones no tan comunes, como son las complicaciones que pueden surgir durante la lactancia, las distintas fases por las que pasa el bebé desde su nacimiento hasta el destete, la donación de leche materna y los grupos de apoyo, cómo inmunizarse ante las críticas del entorno o cómo superar el duelo y la culpabilidad que se siente con el destete o cuando no se puede amamantar con leche materna. Alba Padró es clara en este punto: lo más importante es que la mamá y el bebé se sientan bien.

Somos lo que comemos: Verdades y mentiras de la alimientación
by Mónica KatzMónica Katz nos introduce en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación. ¿Qué es lo que en verdad consumimos cada vez que comemos? Comer es imprescindible para vivir, pero también comemos para obtener placer, por aburrimiento, para calmarnos, para no pensar, para reunirnos con amigos y familia, para celebrar, para seducir. Y vivimos rodeados de estímulos que incitan a comer: programas de TV, publicidades, restaurantes, bares, kioscos y comercios con góndolas rebosantes de alimentos y bebidas, al alcance de nuestra mano. En ese sentido, la industria ha logrado producir alimentos a gran escala, procesados y especialmente diseñados para el consumo, a tal punto que no siempre sabemos qué es lo que en verdad consumimos cada vez que comemos. Mónica Katz nos introduce en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación y descompone en todas sus facetas el prisma de esa actividad humana. ¿Por qué nos gustan tanto ciertas comidas y por qué rechazamos otras? ¿Qué función cumplen los sentidos en la selección y el consumo? ¿Cómo utiliza la industria esos conocimientos? ¿Qué responsabilidad tiene el Estado en el control y la producción de alimentos? ¿Cuáles son beneficiosos para nuestro organismo, cuánto debemos consumir y cómo tenemos que hacerlo para lograr, sin recurrir a ninguna dieta, disfrutar de la comida y ganar en salud?

The Son Of Someone Famous
by M. E. KerrThough to Brenda Belle Blossom's mother he is just "that boy . . . tying those beer cans to the Christmas tree," sixteen-year-old Adam is really the son of a famous movie star who hobnobs with royalty while jetting all over the world. Smarty Brenda Belle Blossom, horrified by fuzz on her upper lip, cracks jokes to avoid the bummer of her teeny Vermont hamlet and ladylike mother. When Adam is expelled from his last boarding school, he washes up in Vermont to stay with his irascible, alcoholic grandfather, and meets Belle at the drug store. Soon they are going steady, calling each other "darling," and dedicated to helping other misfits achieve "Nothing Power"--until Brenda realizes there's more to the "ordinary" Adam than it seems.M.E. Kerr is the winner of the 1993 Margaret Edwards Award for her lifetime achievement in writing books for young adults. She has been described by the New York Times Book Review as "one of the grand masters of young adult fiction." She lives in Long Island, New York.
Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues
by Barry Neil KaufmanThis is an expansion of the author's book Son-Rise, which appeared in the 1970s. The author recounts how he and his wife learned that their son Raun had autism, how they became disenchanted with the services of professionals, and how they ultimately developed a radical new method for working with their son at home. Rather than attempting to suppress Raun's autistic behaviors, they joined him in twirling objects, rocking, and hand-flapping as a way of relating to him. In this way they were able to build Raun's trust, with astounding results. Kaufman describes several other children who have benefited from this approach.
Son Rise: The Miracle Continues
by Barry Neil KaufmanIn 1979, the classic bestseller Son Rise was made into an award-winning NBC television special, which has been viewed by 300 million people worldwide. Now, Son Rise: The Miracle Continues presents not only the expanded and updated journal of Barry and Samahria Kaufman's successful effort to reach their "unreachable" child but goes beyond to include a sensitive portrayal of how that singular event has become a worldwide phenomenon. When their son Raun was a year old, he began to withdraw from human contact. Diagnosed as autistic, Raun tested with an I.Q. of under 30. Experts offered no hope and advised institutionalizing him. Barry and Samahria refused to accept this prognosis. For several years they worked with Raun in a program of their own design, based on unconditional love and acceptance. By age three and a half, Raun was functioning above his age level — a bright and curious little person. The story of the Kaufmans' experience to this point makes up Part I of Son Rise: The Miracle Continues. Part II continues Raun's story and describes the intervening years as the Kaufmans offered hope and healing to thousands of families with special-needs children. At age twenty, Raun attended a top university, and displayed a near-genius I.Q. Today, he shows no trace of his former condition. Part III of the book highlights the moving stories of five families who, guided by the Kaufmans and the Son-Rise Program, have created "rebirths" for their own special children.

A Song Called Home
by Sara ZarrFrom award-winning author Sara Zarr comes a story of the small moments that show us who we are, and how family is not just something you’re part of, but something you make.Lou and her family don’t have much, but for Lou it's enough. Mom. Her sister, Casey. Their apartment in the city. Her best friend, Beth. It would be better if Dad could stop drinking and be there for her and Casey, and if they didn't have to worry about money all the time. But Lou doesn’t need better—she only needs enough.What’s enough for Lou, however, is not enough for Mom. Steve, Mom's boyfriend, isn’t a bad guy, he's just…not what Lou is used to. And now, he and Mom are getting married, and that means moving. Packing up life as they’ve known it and storing it in Steve’s garage. Lou will be separated from everything in her small but predictable life, farther from Dad than ever.Their last night in the city, Lou receives a mysterious birthday gift: A guitar, left for her by their front door. There’s nothing saying who left it, but it must be from Dad. And as she leaves the only place she’s ever known, she starts to believe that if she can learn how to play it, maybe she can bring a piece of him, and of her old life, home.
The Song of Our Scars: The Untold Story of Pain
by Haider WarraichA doctor&’s personal and unsparing account of how modern medicine&’s failure to understand pain has made care less effectiveIn The Song of Our Scars, physician Haider Warraich offers a bold reexamination of the nature of pain, not as a simple physical sensation, but as a cultural experience.Warraich, himself a sufferer of chronic pain, considers the ways our notions of pain have been shaped not just by science but by politics and power, by whose suffering mattered and whose didn&’t. He weaves a provocative history from the Renaissance, when pain transformed into a medical issue, through the racial legacy of pain tolerance, to the opiate epidemics of both the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, to the cutting edge of present-day pain science. The conclusion is clear: only by reckoning with both pain&’s complicated history and its biology can today&’s doctors adequately treat their patients&’ suffering.Trenchant and deeply felt, The Song of Our Scars is an indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body.
Song of the Dark Man: Father of Witches, Lord of the Crossroads
by Darragh Mason• Explains the Dark Man phenomenon through centuries-old folklore and mythology, testimony from British witch trials, and modern accounts• Challenges the simplistic concept of the Devil as &“evil,&” explaining how encounters with this entity can reveal one&’s life purpose and how the Dark Man can be an initiator into witchcraft• Presents interviews with those who have witnessed the Dark Man firsthand, offering insights into how he can serve as a guide to a more positive lifeFrom the fortean phantoms that terrorized Victorian England to the haunted crossroads of the Irish hinterlands, the Devil—also known as the Dark Man—has found countless novel ways to influence culture and bring us face to face with our fears. Tracing this enigmatic entity through the centuries via mythology, folklore, occult writings, and modern accounts, Darragh Mason shows how the Dark Man is more than just a myth: he is a real presence in our world.Drawing on Irish manuscripts dating back to the 12th century, testimony from 17th-century Scottish witches, his own experiences, and interviews with contemporary witches and mystics, Mason builds the case for the pattern of the Dark Man phenomenon, showing what his presence can mean, what it&’s like for those who experience him, and how his appearance serves as a calling to the path of witchcraft. In doing so, Mason challenges conventional understandings of the Dark Man as an evil presence, emphasizing his role in questioning authority and liberating individuals from the confines of strict social convention. He shows how the Dark Man&’s presence serves as a potent illustrator of the battles between light and dark.But, Mason emphasizes, these stories of the Dark Man are not necessarily just folktales. Sharing a series of interviews with contemporary figures, including Orion Foxwood and Peter Grey, who speak of the nature of this spirit and their experiences with him, the author illustrates how encounters with the Dark Man can challenge you to make changes—often painful ones—and how if you meet his challenges, you may be bestowed with mystical gifts and initiated into witchcraft. Ultimately, Mason shows how the Dark Man may be a liberating figure: if one faces him and moves beyond the fear, he can open the door to a richer, more fulfilling, and more magical life.
