Go the F**k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the
real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't
always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland.
Profane, affectionate and refreshingly honest, it captures the familiar and
unspoken tribulations of putting your child to bed for the night.
Colourfully illustrated and hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant*.
(*You should probably not read this to your children.)
This 100 percent, kid-friendly, G-rated version of the #1 "New York
Times" bestseller lets kids relish their own mischievousness,
recognize their own tactics, and allows both children and parents
to joke with one another about one of the most stressful elements
of a parent's life. Full color.

"No matter what the country or the language, parents all over the
world--loving, frustrated, exhausted parents--know what Adam
Mansbach means. Since 2011, his comically obscene picture book has
sold more than 1.5 million copies in dozens of languages from
Afrikaans to Japanese to Nynorsk. And later this year, his little
book will venture into new territory with a Jamaican patois
translation: 'Go de R-s to Sleep.'"
--"The Washington Post"/Style Blog
Praise for "Go the Fuck to Sleep"
"A new Bible for weary parents."
--"New York Times"
"Incredibly appealing."
--"NPR"
"A parenting zeitgeist...A phenomenon that has stunned the
publishing world and may just redefine the modern 'parenting'
market."
--"Washington Post"
"Delightfully obscene."
--"Newsweek"
"Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which
is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this
deranged book."
--"New Yorker"
The best-selling "Go the F*** to Sleep" has been translated into
over thirty languages worldwide. Now it is finally translated for
Jamaican and other Caribbean parents of the world. Given how many
West Indians live in the US and Canada, the market for this book
should be broad, but focused mainly on areas with a large Caribbean
community.
"Go de Rass to Sleep" is a bedtime book for parents who live in the
real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't
always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane,
affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning
author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar--and
unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the
night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting,
granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at
their absurdity.
With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, "Go de Rass to Sleep" is
beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for
parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to
your children.
This is a compelling account that combines US political and
corporate history with narrative illustration, as Cortes tells in
words and pictures how one of the biggest companies in the world
continues to bypass an international ban on coca.
El corazon ha sido poco estudiado en pacientes con VIH. El Doppler
tisular es mas eficaz que el transmitral para evaluar funcion
diastolica del VI, ya que no se ve influido por la precarga,
poscarga y la frecuencia cardiaca. Se determino la prevalencia de
disfuncion diastolica del VI en un grupo de pacientes VIH positivo
sin sintomas ni antecedentes de enfermedad cardiaca en relacion a
un grupo control sano, y se analizo su relacion con niveles de CD4
y carga viral. Se encontro una asociacion estadisticamente
significativa entre la infeccion por el VIH y la disfuncion
diastolica del VI y con el recuento de linfocitos CD4. Finalmente
se realiza una actualizacion de todas las acciones del virus sobre
vasos sanguineos, corazon y metabolismo."
Prevenir los factores de riesgo cardiovascular desde la ninez es
trascendental pues cuidamos el futuro de las arterias de todo el
organismo. Con ello evitaremos patologias como infarto de
miocardio, accidente cerebrovascular y otros sindromes isquemicos
que incrementan los costos de internacion e intervenciones como
angioplastias, cirugia de revascularizacion miocardica, etc.
Considerar desde la mas temprana edad la dieta, actividad fisica,
factores de riesgo psicosociales (depresion, estres), evaluar
concentraciones de lipidos y glucemia, pueden permitirnos modificar
significativamente patologias que tienen alto impacto en el adulto.
La prevencion de enfermedades como diabetes tipo 2, estimulando la
dieta saludable, y el abandono del sedentarismo, nos ayudara a

Uno de los procedimientos mas complicados en Rehabilitacion Oral
tiene que ver con las Relaciones Craneo Mandibulares y la
determinacion de la Dimension Vertical de Oclusion (DVO),
especialmente en pacientes desdentados totales. Existen diversos
metodos para determinar DVO, que utilizan tanto medidas
cefalometricas y craneometricas en tejidos blandos y en
Telerradiografias de Perfil. Por otro lado, las Radiografias
Panoramicas son utilizadas como un util herramienta diagnostica de
diversas patologias orales y es una radiografia de uso obligatorio
previo a la rehabilitacion de pacientes desdentados totales. Este
libro tiene por objetivo proponer, en forma de estudio piloto,
metodos de determinacion de DVO a traves de radiografias
panoramicas, comparando dichas mediciones con las encontradas en
Telerradiografias de Perfil, para el uso en Rehabilitacion Oral de
pacientes desdentados totales."

comes to all parents who weary of ever getting their darling(s) to
sleep and briefly resuming the illusion of a life of their
own."
