Nani always took Raina's side when she tried to push past the traditional expectations of their tight-knit Indian-immigrant community, but now she's ambushing Raina with a list of suitable bachelors. Is it too much to ask for a little space? Besides, what Nani doesn't know won't hurt her... As Raina's life spirals into a parade of Nani-approved bachelors and disastrous blind dates, she must find a way out of this modern-day arranged-marriage trap without shattering her beloved grandmother's dreams.

Material de construcción
by Eider Rodríguez«Una poética implacable contra el dolor, una mirada al mundo que redefine el pasado, un modo de entender la literatura fuera de la norma».Pol GuaschEn esta novela hay veranos, cigarrillos, piscinas, hospitales, caballos, azulejos, cemento, arena, cartas, plantas, fuego, vacaciones, amores, mentiras, verdades, vergüenzas... y también alcohol, que lo impregna todo, estropeándolo y deformándolo. Porque el padre es alcohólico. Y ella, la hija de un alcohólico. Pero ¿qué más hay detrás de ese hombre que vendía materiales de construcción y fabricaba muebles reciclando palés?A pesar de haber vivido en la misma casa durante muchos años, padre e hija apenas tienen trato. No se hablan ni se tocan, pero las miradas, los olores y los sonidos les sirven de vínculo. Y el silencio, eso que no se quiere y no se puede decir, es más un campo de batalla que una fortaleza.En su primera novela, Eider Rodríguez ha recogido los fragmentos de un padre para reconstruir, desde diferentes perspectivas y con un estilo brutal y descarnado, el relato de una familia, de una época y de un lugar, sacando a la luz los cauces subterráneos por los que circulan el amor y la vida dentro de los estrechos márgenes del entorno familiar. La crítica ha dicho:«La prosa de Eider Rodríguez, deslumbrante y afilada, nos ayuda a imaginar, pensar y sentir nuestra propia relación con la violencia no desde la denuncia moral o la ideología, sino desde espacios afectivos de incomodidad e incertidumbre».Edurne Portela«Una prosa inteligente, precisa, sin concesiones».Kirmen Uribe«Una maravilla. Una carta al padre, honesta y dolorosa, a corazón abierto. Una excavación y una construcción escrita con mucha inteligencia y valentía».Sara Mesa«La literaturasirve para desentrañar y comprender, y Material de construcción, escrito desde una honestidad incondicional, responde a ese objetivo desdeelconvencimiento de que algunas cosas solo se pueden entender si se escriben».Natxo Velez, EITB Radio Televisión Pública Vasca«Eider Rodríguez vuelve con una obra que resultará ser una marca de agua nueva e importante tanto en su trayectoria como en la memoria de sus lectores. Se trata de un libro intenso, profundo y al mismo tiempo valiente, de una honestidad salvaje. Literatura con letra mayúscula, urgente y necesaria. Desconcertará, turbará y conmoverá a quien lo lea».Harkaitz Cano«Un hermoso trabajo literario que llevará al lector a esa zona brumosa situada entre la desesperación y el recuerdo. Escritura contenida y calibrada. Un estilo excepcional. Es conmovedor presenciar de qué manera influyó la muerte del padre en la protagonista. Un desnudo psicológico profundo. Quizá algunos lectores definan este libro como la protagonista define a su padre: salado y agrio. Sin lugar a dudas, una obra maestra».111 Akademia«Este libro es un ejercicio de memoria, de duelo, y al mismo tiempo una carta de amor».Amaia Álvarez«Un libro que genera estupor».Mikel Asurmendi

Maternal Desire: On Children, Love, and the Inner Life
by Daphne de MarneffeEsteemed pscyhologist Daphne de Marneffe examines women’s desire to care for children in an updated reissue of her “fascinating analysis that’s a welcome addition to the dialogues about motherhood” (Publishers Weekly).If a century ago it was women’s sexual desires that were unspeakable, today it is the female desire to mother that has become taboo. One hundred years of Freud and feminism have liberated women to acknowledge and explore their sexual selves, as well as their public and personal ambitions. What has remained inhibited is women’s thinking about motherhood. Maternal Desire is the first book to treat women’s desire to mother as a legitimate focus of intellectual inquiry and personal exploration. Shedding new light on old debates, Daphne de Marneffe provides an emotional road map for mothers who work and mothers who are at home. De Marneffe both explores the enjoyment and anxieties of motherhood and offers mothers in all situations valuable ways to think through their self-doubts and connect to their capacity for pleasure. Drawing on a rich tradition of writers, such as Simone de Beauvoir, Adrienne Rich, Carol Gilligan, and Susan Faludi, as well as her experience as a psychologist and mother of three, de Marneffe illuminates how we express our desire to care for children. By treating maternal desire as a central feature of women’s identity—rather than as an inconvenient or slightly embarrassing detail—we can look with fresh insight at controversial issues, such as childcare, fertility, abortion, and the role of fathers. An “absorbing look at the enormous personal pleasure that women derive from mothering….Maternal Desire is a stirring book that celebrates women’s love for their children and mothering while also supporting their interest in careers and other pursuits” (Booklist).
Maternal Desire: On Children, Love, and the Inner Life
by Daphne De MarneffeThis is an important and exciting addition to the debate about children, love and the inner life.Does identifying and talking about maternal desire feed old notions about women's nature and justify restrictions of their rights? Or is it an opportunity to understand women more deeply? Maternal Desire shows that the iconic images of motherhood - from the sacrificial mother to the supermum - and the endless debates about what's best for children, obscure the profound meaning of mothering - and the desire to mother. Here is a book that gives a common voice to mothers and examines motherhood as an active and transforming experience.
Maternal Effects in Mammals
by Dario Maestripieri Jill M. MateoEvolutionary maternal effects occur whenever a mother's phenotypic traits directly affect her offspring's phenotype, independent of the offspring's genotype. Some of the phenotypic traits that result in maternal effects have a genetic basis, whereas others are environmentally determined. For example, the size of a litter produced by a mammalian mother--a trait with a strong genetic basis--can affect the growth rate of her offspring, while a mother's dominance rank--an environmentally determined trait--can affect the dominance rank of her offspring. The first volume published on the subject in more than a decade,Maternal Effects in Mammalsreflects advances in genomic, ecological, and behavioral research, as well new understandings of the evolutionary interplay between mothers and their offspring. Dario Maestripieri and Jill M. Mateo bring together a learned group of contributors to synthesize the vast literature on a range of species, highlight evolutionary processes that were previously overlooked, and propose new avenues of research. Maternal Effects in Mammalswill serve as the most comprehensive compendium on and stimulus for interdisciplinary treatments of mammalian maternal effects.
The Maternal Factor: Two Paths to Morality
by Nel NoddingsIn this provocative new book, renowned educator and philosopher Nel Noddings extends her influential work on the ethics of care toward a compelling objective--global peace and justice. She asks: If we celebrate the success of women becoming more like men in professional life, should we not simultaneously hope that men become more like women--in caring for others, rejecting violence, and valuing the work of caring both publicly and personally? Drawing on current work on evolution, and bringing concrete examples from women's lived experience to make a strong case for her position, Noddings answers this question by locating one source of morality in maternal instinct. She traces the development of the maternal instinct to natural caring and ethical caring, offering a preliminary sketch of what a care-driven concept of justice might look like. Finally, to advance the cause of caring, peace, and women's advancement, Noddings urges women to abandon institutional, patriarchal religion and to seek their own paths to spirituality.
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.
Maternal Hemodynamics
by Christoph Lees Wilfried GyselaersDiscover new concepts in cardiovascular and hemodynamic functionality during pregnancy, with international experts in feto-maternal medicine. During the early stages of pregnancy, the maternal heart and circulation are subject to major gestational adaptive changes that allow for a normal course and outcome for both mother and baby. Any disruption to these processes can precipitate the onset of severe maternal and fetal complications such as preeclampsia, or intrauterine growth restriction. This invaluable reference work provides a comprehensive discussion of each aspect of the circulation. With a focus on the physiologic and pathophysiologic aspects of maternal cardiovascular function, this guide supports non-invasive assessment, management and prevention techniques for cardiovascular disease, for all stages of fetal and neonatal life. This text supports researchers and specialists in maternal-fetal medicine, whilst providing a key grounding in the topic, for trainees wishing to be at the cutting edge of theories and research.
Maternal Megalomania: Julia Domna and the Imperial Politics of Motherhood
by Julie LangfordHow the maternal image of the empress Julia Domna helped the Roman empire rule.Ancient authors emphasize dramatic moments in the life of Julia Domna, wife of Roman emperor Septimius Severus (193–211). They accuse her of ambition unforgivable in a woman, of instigating civil war to place her sons on the throne, and of resorting to incest to maintain her hold on power. In imperial propaganda, however, Julia Domna was honored with unprecedented titles that celebrated her maternity, whether it was in the role of mother to her two sons (both future emperors) or as the metaphorical mother to the empire. Imperial propaganda even equated her to the great mother goddess, Cybele, endowing her with a public prominence well beyond that of earlier imperial women. Her visage could be found gracing everything from state-commissioned art to privately owned ivory dolls. In Maternal Megalomania, Julie Langford unmasks the maternal titles and honors of Julia Domna as a campaign on the part of the administration to garner support for Severus and his sons. Langford looks to numismatic, literary, and archaeological evidence to reconstruct the propaganda surrounding the empress. She explores how her image was tailored toward different populations, including the military, the Senate, and the people of Rome, and how these populations responded to propaganda about the empress. She employs Julia Domna as a case study to explore the creation of ideology between the emperor and its subjects.
The Maternal Mindset: A journal for all mums going through the postnatal journey
by Annie HumphrisA journal for all mums going through the postnatal journey Conceived and compiled by new mum Annie Humphris, The Maternal Mindset is a journal for anyone navigating the trials and tribulations of motherhood. It aims to create a safe space for readers to release their thoughts and feelings without any judgement. Simple to read and to navigate, this book uses minimalist graphics and limited colours to avoid overwhelming even the most burnt-out or sleep-deprived mum. As well as offering advice and support on topics such as Overwhelm, Burnout, Expectations vs Reality and Identity, The Maternal Mindset includes many contributions from ‘Real Life Mums’.
Maternal Subjectivity: A Dissociated Self-State
by Ellen L.K. TorontoIn this book, Ellen Toronto reveals the dissociation of maternal subjectivity from human experience and provides a psychoanalytic exploration of the (non-)history of motherhood to make possible an understanding and appreciation of maternal worlds. The persistent patriarchal order acknowledges the mother’s existence largely as a ‘womb’, a bearer of children, and although her role is essential in the service of the species, we know very little of her story as a person. The absent presence of the mother as an individual subject and collective ignorance about her experiences has constituted an existential trauma, that is, a trauma of non-existence, and it is only by revealing this dissociation, Toronto argues, that we can begin to excavate the stories of individual mothers as they have borne and raised the world’s children, and at last realise that the burdens they carry belong to us all. As a fulsome account of the maternal perspective, which draws from a variety of sources - including historical research, mythological stories and clinical case material – this book will be significant for students of psychoanalysis, feminism and history, as well as psychoanalysts in training and in practice who seek a richer understanding of maternal being.
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

Maternidad sin filtros: Las luces y sombras en mi historia como madre primeriza
by Ruxanda Ghemis«Convertirme en madre ha sido la experiencia más revolucionaria de mi vida y quiero compartirla contigo, como si una amiga te estuviera contando su historia.

Es un relato natural, honesto y a corazón abierto que habla sin edulcorantes del desafío de ser padres primerizos, de la incertidumbre, de las maternidades y partos difíciles que se invisibilizan, de la violencia obstétrica, de la soledad y el desconocimiento en el posparto de los que nadie habla, de las hormonas y la falta de sueño que te ponen la vida del revés… pero también de resiliencia e ilusión sin límite, de la sensación indescriptible de ver a tu bebé por primera vez y de todas las maravillosas primeras veces que vienen después.

Math Mind: The Simple Path to Loving Math
by Shalinee SharmaBust the math myths that are holding you and your kids back and learn the importance of numeracy with this one-of-a-kind resource for parents, educators, and policymakersShalinee Sharma is one of the world&’s top experts on math learning, but when she was in school, she sat in the back row, unsure if she could ever master the subject. Many of us buy into the idea that some people are innately good at math and others just won&’t ever succeed at it—but it&’s not true, and numeracy is as important as literacy when it comes to opening doors in life.Sharma shows how complex problem solving and puzzle solving, abstract and logical thinking, developing fluency with numbers, and cultivating persistence in math are crucial skills for success that can be taught to everyone and how math, far from being a dry, dull exercise, shares common ground with art and creativity. She also debunks the myths that prevent us from learning and enjoying math, with chapters dedicated to the three roadblocks that discourage adults and kids from learning.With instructive line drawings throughout, Sharma explains the math instinct that all humans have from birth, and better, more intuitive ways to solve math problems that are both rigorous and accessible. For anyone who has ever thought you&’re &“bad at math&” but wants to get good—for your children and for yourself—Math Mind contains the guidance, takeaways, and specific approaches you need to learn to love numbers.
