They are as diverse as America. Young and old. Of color and white. Urban and rural. Immigrants and native born. They are students and teachers. Athletes and artists. Lawyers, doctors, politicians, farmers, architects, novelists, and more. Names familiar and unfamiliar. Superheroes, figuratively...and in one case real! They have founded major corporations and grassroots organizations or struck out on their own. They are institutionalizes and agitators. And in some cases both! But as diverse a lot as they may be, the people who tell their stories on these pages share one thing in common. Each is committed to fighting inequality and injustice. Each, too, can pinpoint a moment when they were moved to action, when it became impossible to sit on the sidelines and just watch: when the teacher uttered racial slurs, when no one in the college club looked like they did, when the city was on the brink of disaster, when the authorities came for their undocumented mother, when they discovered their ancestors had owned slaves, when the cop stopped them in their own driveway, when there was no fresh food in their community, when their right to vote was threatened. In The Moment, New York Times bestselling author Steve Fiffer presents an oral history from today's social justice activists-many of them still under 30-that is pitch perfect for these dissonant times. First person accounts that will inspire us to act, offer a blueprint for making change, and perhaps, most importantly, give us hope for the future.

Feeding problems in children are relatively common, and often resolve themselves with little need for intervention. However, some categories of feeding problem are severe, persistent, and may be life-threatening without skilled involvement by professionals, including medical and surgical intervention. This revised and expanded Second Edition of Feeding Problems in Children deals with these severe and persistent problems, summarising the different kinds of work undertaken with children and their families in a number of countries. It first discusses the theoretical frameworks and perspectives, before moving on to explore clinical and applied research aspects of children's feeding. Finally, a comprehensive Clinical Practice Toolkit has been added to this edition, providing clinical models, checklists, model forms and reports. Featuring contributions from well-known international experts in the field, comprehensive and fully referenced, this book continues to be essential reading for all those practising or training in paediatrics in primary or secondary care, including paediatricians, GPs, gastroenterologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, paediatric nurses, health visitors and allied health professionals. 'Given the multi-cultural composition of today's communities, the decision by Drs Southall and Martin to include a chapter on cultural aspects to feeding was most insightful. This book, with its comprehensive coverage of the issues and a practical Toolkit with examples of materials from a multi-disciplinary practice, makes an essential contribution to the education of frontline clinicians dealing with feeding problems in young children.' - from the Foreword by William B Crist From reviews of the First Edition: 'A detailed guide, extensively referenced' FAMILY MEDICINE 'A useful addition to a hospital library or multi-disciplinary paediatric library' PHYSIOTHERAPY JOURNAL
