New Thinking on Improving Maternity Care is the result of years of
comparative international research, with the goal of finding and
generating the best possible evidence across a range of childbirth
practices, contexts, and issues in Europe. There is a general shift
towards a more risk-averse approach to childbirth globally, but
this is occurring at different rates in population attitudes and in
use of childbirth technologies, in different countries. The drivers
to such changes can also vary from country to country, but the
clinical, social and economic consequences are similar. This book
offers a new set of theories to help explain the nature of
maternity care provision across Europe and beyond, including
complexity theory, salutogenesis, and new concepts of
organisational culture. The aim of the book is to examine the
nature of these theories, and to apply them to a range of practical
situations in a number of different countries. A fascinating book,
that will become required reading for European maternity
professionals.
Drawing on examples from British world expressions of Christianity,
this collection further greater understanding of religion as a
critical element of modern children's and young people's history.
It builds on emerging scholarship that challenges the view that
religion had a solely negative impact on nineteenth- and
twentieth-century children, or that 'secularization' is the only
lens to apply to childhood and religion. Putting forth the argument
that religion was an abiding influence among British world children
throughout the nineteenth and most of the twentieth centuries, this
volume places 'religion' at the center of analysis and discussion.
At the same time, it positions the religious factor within a
broader social and cultural framework. The essays focus on the
historical contexts in which religion was formative for children in
various 'British' settings denoted as 'Anglo' or 'colonial' during
the nineteenth and early- to mid-twentieth centuries. These
contexts include mission fields, churches, families, Sunday
schools, camps, schools and youth movements. Together they are
treated as 'sites' in which religion contributed to identity
formation, albeit in different ways relating to such factors as
gender, race, disability and denomination. The contributors develop
this subject for childhoods that were experienced largely, but not
exclusively, outside the 'metropole', in a diversity of
geographical settings. By extending the geographic range, even
within the British world, it provides a more rounded perspective on
children's global engagement with religion.

Music therapists are trained to use their first study instrument in
clinical practice, yet existing literature focuses almost
exclusively on the use of piano, basic percussion and voice. This
illuminating book brings together international music therapists
who use a diverse range of musical instruments in their clinical
work: the clarinet, the piano accordion, the flute, the cello, the
trumpet and flugelhorn, the bassoon, the violin, the viola, the
harp, the guitar, lower brass instruments (the trombone and the
euphonium), the oboe, the saxophone and bass instruments (double
bass and bass guitar). Each therapist reflects on their
relationship with their instrument and the ways in which they use
it in therapeutic settings, discussing its advantages and
disadvantages in a variety of clinical populations: children and
adolescents, adults with learning disabilities, adults with mental
health problems and older people. This will be essential reading
for any music therapist or student music therapist who uses or is
interested in using a musical instrument in their work, and will be
of interest to other caring and healthcare professionals, teachers,
musicians and carers wanting to learn more about instrumental music
therapy.
The Vikings were warlike adventurers with a strong sense of
justice, and the high drama of their myths and legends, retold
through the centuries, are still as vivid and enduring today. The
stories are full of excitement and encompass both broad comedy and
heart-rending tragedy. At the centre of the stories are the thunder
god Thor, and the frost giant, Loki, Odin’s foster brother, who
becomes one of the gods but is never fully accepted by them.
Through the tales the themes of love, betrayal, courage and
compassion are played out from the dawn of time to the end of the
world. Their stories are among the foundation stones of Western
culture, and young readers will enjoy these highly accessible
retelling of the Norse myths, with stories about the adventures of
Odin, father of the gods and his children, the trials and
tribulations of the trickster Loki, the rages of the thunder god
Thor, and Freya, the goddess of fertility, magic and war who
gathers the souls of the warriors slain in battle. Ideal to read
aloud or for older readers to enjoy discovering by themselves,
artist Maryclare Foa’s bold, eloquent paintings capture the
excitement, humour and drama of these powerful stories in strong,
simple images that linger in the mind.

Together we shared a mostly happy journey - facing and
overcoming obstacles, meeting fascinating people wherever we went
while falling completely in love with the people of Kenya. This
book is a tribute to my co-laborers and in writing this book I hope
to show that one does not need to be a hero to step out, take risks
and make the world a better, healthier and happier place. -Jack
O'Leary
An archbishop, an environmentalist and an AIDS activist are only
a few of the heroes, who stood up against a ruthless dictator and
corrupt government, in Jack O'Leary's My Road to Kenya.
My Road to Kenya shines a light on a group of everyday heroes
who believe they were called to make a difference in the lives of
the people of Kenya. Fate and faith led them to the crossroads
where their paths converged. Working together they have built and
supplied hospitals, clinics, schools, churches, and homes for
hundreds of children- many of whom were orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
Through it all they asked for nothing for themselves. Yet in the
end, the collaborations of these everyday heroes resulted in
something invaluable - the forging of deep and long-lasting
friendships.

What is 'performance drawing'? When does a drawing turn into a
performance? Is the act of drawing in itself a performative
process, whether a viewer is present or not? Through conversation,
interviews and essays, the authors illuminate these questions, and
what it might mean to perform, and what it might mean to draw, in a
diverse and expressive contemporary practice since 1945. The term
'performance drawing' first appeared in the subtitle of Catherine
de Zegher's Drawing Papers 20: Performance Drawings, in particular
with reference to Alison Knowles and Elena del Rivero. In this
book, it is used as a trope, and a thread of thinking, to describe
a process dedicated to broadening the field of drawing through
resourceful practices and cross-disciplinary influence. Featuring a
wide range of international artists, this book presents pioneering
practitioners, alongside current and emerging artists. The
combination of experiences and disciplines in the expanded field
has established a vibrant art movement that has been progressively
burgeoning in the last few years. The Introduction contextualises
the background and identifies contemporary approaches to
performance drawing. As a way to embrace the different voices and
various lenses in producing this book, the authors combine
individual perspectives and critical methodology in the five
chapters. While embedded in ephemerality and immediacy, the themes
encompass body and energy, time and motion, light and space,
imagined and observed, demonstrating how drawing can act as a
performative tool. The dynamic interaction leads to a collective
understanding of the term, performance drawing, and addresses the
key developments and future directions of this applied drawing
process.
