The Routledge Handbook of Anthropology and Reproduction is a
comprehensive overview of the topics, approaches, and trajectories
in the anthropological study of human reproduction. The book brings
together work from across the discipline of anthropology, with
contributions by established and emerging scholars in
archaeological, biological, linguistic, and sociocultural
anthropology. Across these areas of research, consideration is
given to the contexts, conditions, and contingencies that mark and
shape the experiences of reproduction as always gendered, classed,
and racialized. Over 39 chapters, a diverse range of international
scholars cover topics including: Reproductive governance,
stratification, justice, and freedom. Fertility and infertility.
Technologies and imaginations. Queering reproduction. Pregnancy,
childbirth, and reproductive loss. Postpartum and infant care.
Care, kinship, and alloparenting. This is a valuable reference for
scholars and upper-level students in anthropology and related
disciplines associated with reproduction, including sociology,
gender studies, science and technology studies, human development
and family studies, global health, public health, medicine, medical
humanities, and midwifery and nursing.
Inspired and written by breast cancer patients and survivors, and
the mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends that surround them,
Pink Prayer Book is deeply personal, yet universally evocative.
From the first realization of diagnosis through treatment,
recovery, and the hope of lasting remission, this book offers
prayers for the journey into healing. Incorporating Scriptures and
Psalms, this book offers support in a joyous healing network.
Introduced by Patricia Corrigan, these wonderfully personal prayers
lift hearts and voices to ask for
God's healing and never-ending love.
In this witty and uplifting book Parisian blogger Mylene Desclaux

herself and for the other women in her entourage. Mylene assures us
that we are still 'young women' in our fifties - but with more
opportunities. 'By the time we're fifty, we've generally done all
the important things - career, family. Now we can re-centre and
discover a new energy within ourselves. It's our time to blossom -
to reprogramme gently. To revitalise. We realise that we are the
mistresses of our own lives... The desire to do battle disappears.
We feel calm. And we know we're going to have time to make the most
of it.' With acerbic French humour she distils the essence of
getting the most out of your middle age and gives advice on
everything from: * Relationships * Sex * Fashion * Dating *
Skincare * Friendships * Kids * Beauty In WHY FRENCH WOMEN FEEL

things in life and how to make the most of your fifties, the
Parisian way.
An authoritative guide to understanding and navigating the hormonal
changes and health issues women experience in midlife and beyond,
from one of the leading medical experts in the field. The physical
changes that occur after women turn forty are unavoidable-and can
be unnerving. Menopause affects every aspect of life-from sex and
sleep to mood and mental clarity to weight and body temperature.
While there are a number of resources available, many are confusing
and contradictory. Now, Manhattan gynecologist Dr. Tara Allmen, an
experienced, nationally board-certified menopause practitioner and
the recipient of the 2015 Doctor's Choice National Award for
Obstetrics & Gynecology, shares her knowledge to help women be
their happiest and healthiest, and turn this challenging time into
an exciting one. Written in her effervescent yet assured voice,
Menopause Confidential provides simple strategies and cutting-edge
information on: * hormonal changes and the symptoms of
perimenopause and menopause;* the health risks associated with
midlife-from cutting through the conflicting opinions and advice
about health screenings (Do I really need a colonoscopy? How often
should I get a mammogram?) to common medical conditions, such as
osteoporosis;* various remedies, both allopathic and natural, to
combat symptoms and empower women to make the best choices for
their individual needs;* practical tips and resources for
mitigating the effects of menopause. Fifty-one-year-old Dr. Allmen
knows firsthand what women are going through, and shares stories of
her own personal travails and solutions. Women can't turn back the
clock, but they can take control of their health and flourish in
midlife. Menopause Confidential encourages them to be informed, be
proactive, and be their greatest selves.
Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgical procedure
performed on women in the United States. For some women, the
decision to have a hysterectomy is an easy one; for others, it is a
difficult choice associated with concerns about risks, discomfort,
and female identity. Yet many disorders of the uterus-fibroid
tumors, uterine and cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease,
endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine prolapse-may require
surgical treatment. In this thoroughly updated edition of
Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, gynecologists Edward E.
Wallach, Esther Eisenberg, Isabel Green, and Stacey A. Scheib
describe and explain every aspect of the procedure, including,
Symptoms of gynecological disorders that may require uterine
fibroid removal or hysterectomy; the full range of diagnostic and
therapeutic imaging techniques, including MRI-focused ultrasound;
thorough explanations of specific alternative measures that may be
used to avoid the need for hysterectomy; the various techniques for
hysterectomy, including single-incision surgery and robotic
hysterectomy; how to prepare for surgery and what to expect while
in the hospital; details on the surgery and postoperative recovery,
including information about pain medications, when to resume daily
activities, how sexual function may be affected, future
reproductive possibilities, and the benefits and risks of hormone
replacement therapy. Included in this compassionate, comprehensive
guide to treatment and recovery for women having - or deciding
whether to have - a hysterectomy are stories of women whose own
experiences with hysterectomy offer useful advice for anyone
considering the procedure.
