It's time to empower yourself and just say no to giving birth passively. This is the book that has revolutionized childbirth, turning birthing mothers from subdued and passive "patients" to active and empowered owners of their childbirth experience. Janet Balaskas started a movement of women who refused to give birth lying down and she has been teaching women about "active birth" ever since. She emphasizes the importance of movement during labor, the wide range of options and positions for delivery itself, and the many natural alternatives to heavy sedation and other medical interventions. Her book is eminently useful whether you are planning to give birth in a hospital, a free-standing birth center, or at home. If such options as water birth or hypno-birthing are appealing to you, this is an essential book; at the same time, it is non-judgmental and encourages you to give birth in whatever manner and position you see fit. It covers: Exercises for pregnancy, to prepare you optimally for childbirth Massage and yoga during labor Labor and birthing positions that maximize your comfort and encourage efficient contractions Essential tips for birth partners, spouses, doulas, and other attendants Relaxation and recovery exercises, for the postpartum period Janet Balaskas shows you how to prepare for and experience a truly natural, joyful, and empowering birth.
An up-to-date Catalan language resource for students and travelers to Barcelona and other cities in the Pyrenees region. Catalan is a romance language named after the autonomous province Catalonia in Spain and spoken by well over 9 million people worldwide. It is also the national and only official language of Andorra. Most Catalan speakers, however, reside in Spain's Catalonia and Valencia provinces. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish, but a language that developed independently from Vulgar Latin during the Middle Ages around the Pyrenees region. During the 19th century and the rise of a nationalist cultural movement in Catalonia, the language was revived as a literary language. Since the 1980s, Catalan has been the language used in state schools, and thus most residents of Catalonia are bilingual in Catalan and Spanish. Ideal for businesspeople, travelers, and students, this dictionary features over 16,000 word-to-word entries, including common words as well as technical, legal, business and locally-specific terms (key cities, foods, and cultural terms). It also includes a comprehensive pronunciation guide and a concise discussion of the basics of Catalan grammar.

Diese Neuauflage des Tobabataksch-Deutschen Worterbuchs von Wameck (Landsdrukkerij, Batavia 1906) unterscheidet sich in den folgenden Punkten vom ersten Druck: 1. Die umfangreichen Ergiinzungen von Dr. med. J. Winkler wurden hinzugefUgt; hierzu gehoren auch seine Bibelstellen.Nachtriige, die aus Winklers Hand. exemplar des Neuen Testaments stammen und mir von Professor Dr. L. Schreiner freundlicherweise iiberlassen wurden. ' 2. Winkler hat Wamecks Worterbuch an zahlreichen Stellen verbessert; diese Verbesserungen wurden iibemommen. 3. Die Buchstaben B, D, E, I, 0 und U erscheinen hier in Wamecks eigener Neu bearbeitung, deren Endredaktion von Marcks stammt. 4. Eine Anzahl von Stichworten, vor allem solche mit liingerem Text, wurden neu bearbeitet und systematischer geordnet, wobei danach getrachtet wurde, den urspriinglichen Inhalt soweit wie moglich zu erhalten. 5. Neu ist ein Register Deutsch-Batak. 6. Weggelassen wurde der Anhang iiber Ableitung und Zusammenhang der Batak Stiimme. Vermutlich sieht das Werk in dieser Form nun vollig anders aus als Wameck selbst sich eine neue Ausgabe vorgestellt hatte. Wameck hatte vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sein Worterbuch fUr einen Neudruck iiberarbeitet. Das Manuskript fUr diese Neuauflage sollte van O. Marcks, der in sein Handexemplar des ersten Drucks des Worterbuchs von Wameck viele Ergiinzungen eingetragen hatte, nachgesehen und ergiinzt werden. Marcks starb jedoch 1937, noch ehe er die Revision des Batak Worterbuches abschliessen konnte." |
