You're Doing it Wrong!: Mothering, Media, and Medical Expertise
by Bethany L. Johnson Margaret M. QuinlanNew mothers face a barrage of confounding decisions during the life-cycle of early motherhood which includes... Should they change their diet or mindset to conceive? Exercise while pregnant? Should they opt for a home birth or head for a hospital? Whatever they “choose,” they will be sure to find plenty of medical expertise from health practitioners to social media “influencers” telling them that they’re making a series of mistakes. As intersectional feminists with two small children each, Bethany L. Johnson and Margaret M. Quinlan draw from their own experiences as well as stories from a range of caretakers throughout. You’re Doing it Wrong! investigates the storied history of mothering advice in the media, from the newspapers, magazines, doctors’ records and personal papers of the nineteenth-century to today’s websites, Facebook groups, and Instagram feeds. Johnson and Quinlan find surprising parallels between today’s mothering experts and their Victorian counterparts, but they also explore how social media has placed unprecedented pressures on new mothers, even while it may function as social support for some. They further examine the contentious construction of prenatal and baby care expertise itself, as individuals such as everyone from medical professionals to experienced moms have competed to have their expertise acknowledged in the public sphere. Exploring potential health crises from infertility treatments to “better babies” milestones, You’re Doing it Wrong! provides a provocative look at historical and contemporary medical expertise during conception, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and infant care stages.

You’re Wrong, I’m Right
by Corey S. Scher Anna Clebone Sanford M. Miller J. David Roccaforte Levon M. CapanThis text covers the major controversies and "myths" in each of the major anesthesia subspecialties. You're Wrong, I'm Right is designed to be an easy and engaging evidence based read that offers the fast-paced give-and-take of a debate between two experts at the top of their game--capturing their full argument, including expressions of humor and displays of temper. Each point of contention begins with a real case, carefully selected to encapsulate the argument. One author then argues the "pro" side and another the "con. " Sometimes a single author may argue both sides. In doing so, the authors highlight the newest evidence and remind us of classic principles that have stood the test of time. At the end of the debate, readers can determine which argument they will use in their clinical practice, and may also consult a final "Consensus" section that identifies the editors' and contributors' "picks" of the one best practice in a range of different situations.

Youth Offending in Transition: The Search for Social Recognition
by Monica BarryTaking a new approach to youth crime, this book argues that the transition from childhood to adulthood can be an isolating and disempowering experience for young people. Children and young people are inherently vulnerable because of their age and status – they are a minority group, with the potential for being exploited, discriminated against, dominated and disrespected by adults. Youth Offending in Transition explores how their treatment by adult society may lead young people to resort to crime as a means of gaining respect from their peers. Using concepts of capital and the narratives of young offenders themselves, this book is based on original research into the reasons why young people start and stop offending. It discusses the following topics: criminal theory and the significance of youth transitions to the ‘age-crime curve’ social identity and reputation amongst young people social inequalities and their influence on youth transitions the criminalization and discrimination of young people by adults the importance of social recognition in reducing offending.
Youth Participation and Community Change
by Barry CheckowayEmpowered youth CAN and DO make a difference!Young people become empowered by their participation in the institutions and decisions that affect their lives-which in turn can lead to real positive change in the community. Youth Participation and Community Change presents leading authorities providing the latest research and effective approaches on how young people can be drawn to participate in organizations and communities. The diverse perspectives discuss youth participation in today&’s society, the models and methods of its practice, the roles of youth and adults, and the future of youth participation and community in a diverse democracy. Approaches include those which promote participatory community-based research and evaluation, and involve youth groups in poor and racially segregated areas.The mainstream view of much of today&’s youth is that of being victims of society rather than a being a possible positive influence on society as a whole. Youth Participation and Community Change seeks to shift the viewpoint from youth as being problems to empowering them to enact positive social change. The book explores community agency efforts to involve young people, and the process by which youth civic engagement promotes empowerment. Social work and public health approaches are examined, with cogent discussions on conceptual and theoretical issues. Empirically based case studies illustrate best practices and interdisciplinary work that draws upon psychology, sociology, social work, public health, education, and related academic disciplines and professional fields.Topics in Youth Participation and Community Change include: key dimensions of critical youth empowerment a case study of youth leadership development in Hawaii-the Sariling Gawa Youth Council the Lexington Youth Leadership Academy-a leadership development and community change program a new model for youth civic engagement in Hampton, Virginia three projects that engage urban youth in community change through participatory research youth engagement strategies and the benefits of youth participation in health research ten projects which used photovoice to represent, advocate, and enhance community health a participatory action research process with youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina the Growing Up in Cities project of UNESCO training students as facilitators for the Youth Empowerment Strategies (YES!) project four characteristics of engagement in the research literature and a school-community-university project differences in developmental outcomes among youth organizing, identity-support, and traditional youth development agenciesYouth Participation and Community Change is thought-provoking, enlightening reading that is perfect for organizers, planners, policymakers, advocates, youth service workers, agency administrators, educators, students, and professionals in psychology, sociology, social work, urban planning, public policy, and public health.
Youth Participation and Learning: Critical Perspectives on Citizenship Practices in Europe (Young People and Learning Processes in School and Everyday Life #7)
by Zulmir Bečević Björn AnderssonThis book contributes to the studies on learning processes occurring outside “traditional” socialization settings such as family and school, by analysing civic and political participation and learning experiences.

Youth, The 'Underclass' and Social Exclusion
by Robert MacdonaldThe idea that Britain, the US and other western societies are witnessing the rise of an underclass of people at the bottom of the social heap, structurally and culturally distinct from traditional patterns of `decent' working-class life, has become increasingly popular in the 1990s. Anti-work, anti-social, and welfare dependent cultures are said to typify this new `dangerous class' and `dangerous youth' are taken as the prime subjects of underclass theories. Debates about the family and single-parenthood, about crime and about unemployment and welfare reforms have all become embroiled in underclass theories which, whilst highly controversial, have had remarkable influence on the politics and policies of governments in Britain and the US. Youth, the 'Underclass' and Social Exclusion constitutes the first concerted attempt to grapple with the underclass idea in relation to contemporary youth. It focuses upon unemployment, training, the labour market, crime, homelessness, and parenting and will be essential reading for students of social policy, sociology and criminology.

Zahngesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit: Ein Ratgeber für Ärzte, chronisch Kranke und Spitzensportler
by Meinhard VintlerUnser Gebiss kann bei schlechter Versorgung schnell zur Mülldeponie im Körper werden. Fremdmaterialien, beherdete Zähne und problematische zahnmedizinische und kieferorthopädische Behandlungen setzen dem Körper zu und sind mitverantwortlich für die Entstehung von chronischen Erkrankungen und Leistungsschwächen. Das Buch setzt sich fundiert mit dem Zusammenhang von Zahngesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit auseinander und erläutert auch für Laien verständlich, wie die neueste labor- und systemmedizinische Forschung zu einer Verbesserung in der Diagnose und Behandlung sowohl von chronischen als auch von Sport-Erkrankungen beiträgt. Beide Patientengruppen verbindet das gleiche Problem: Bislang unentdeckte Stressoren, die sich zwar individuell unterscheiden, aber in ihren Auswirkungen sehr ähnlich sind, blockieren die Regenerationsprozesse im Körper. Die neuen Therapieansätze sind für Profisportler von großem Interesse, da sich Leistungssteigerungen erzielen lassen, die bereits im Promillebereich entscheidend sein können. Chronisch Kranke erfahren durch eine systemische Behandlung, die die Zähne wesentlich einbezieht, eine ungeahnte Besserung ihrer Beschwerden.Wie tiefgreifend die jüngsten Erkenntnisse die medizinische Praxis verändern können, soll dieses Buch deutlich machen. Es richtet sich an Mediziner aus allen Fachbereichen, die ihr Bewusstsein für Zusammenhänge im Organismus erweitern wollen. Aber auch Sportler und deren Betreuende in Training, Management und Physiotherapie werden ebenso wie Eltern von Sporttalenten angesprochen und nicht zuletzt alle, die an einer chronischen Erkrankung leiden und für die alternativmedizinische Ansätze oft der einzige Hoffnungsschimmer sind.
