Health status and the experience of working in health care roles are both strongly shaped by gender and, although there have been attempts to incorporate 'gender awareness' in both health and employment policies, the significance of gender in these areas continues to be marginalised within public debates and academic discourses. Taking a social constructionist perspective, Watts considers the ways in which gender impacts upon health in all its elements including access, technology, professionalisation, health promotion and health as an important sector of the labour market. She discusses gender as a developing and diversified category, exploring ideas about masculinity and the fluidity of gender boundaries in determining individual identity. Chapters that follow discuss men's and women's health; ideology of gender and health, specifically exploring different social norms and ideas about male and female health and the dominant ideological association between femaleness and caring; working for health with particular focus on the gendered interplay of caring and curing roles; technology and changes to gender, health and healthcare; health promotion as a gendered activity and, finally, the importance of introducing an intersectional approach beyond gender to articulate a deeper understanding of health in a postmodern context. The concluding chapter draws together these themes to underscore the importance of placing gender at the centre of health and health care delivery to fully take account of both the different life and health experiences of men and women and the gendered dimensions of working in health care.

Despite the general acknowledgment that communication is a process rather than a condition, there has been little systematic examination of dynamic processes within the context of communication studies. Dynamic Patterns in Communication Processes looks at these processes within the field as a whole, drawing from many unexplored connections within the discipline. Using data rather than simulation this work discusses the most timely topics in communication today. The first part of the book focuses on the methodological and theoretical significance of communication events or states that vary regularly or in some distinct pattern over time. The second part is a compilation of current theories and research based on the ideas of cycling and dynamic patterns that occur in diverse communication settings. Scholars and professionals in mass communication and interpersonal communication will appreciate the way this volume addresses topics relevant to both fields. Those in research methods, organizational communication, and psychology will also value the insights this book has to offer.

World Music Pedagogy, Volume I: Early Childhood Education is a resource for music educators to explore the intersection of early childhood music pedagogy and music in cultural contexts across the world. Focusing on the musical lives of children in preschool, kindergarten, and grade 1 (ages birth to 7 years), this volume provides an overview of age-appropriate world music teaching and learning encounters that include informal versus formal teaching approaches and a selection of musical learning aids and materials. It implements multimodal approaches encompassing singing, listening, movement, storytelling, and instrumental performance. As young children are enculturated into their first family and neighborhood environments, they can also grow into ever-widening concentric circles of cultural communities through child-centered encounters in music and the related arts, which can serve as a vehicle for children to know themselves and others more deeply. Centered around playful engagement and principles of informal instruction, the chapters reveal techniques and strategies for developing a child's musical and cultural knowledge and skills, with attention to music's place in the development of young children. This volume explores children's perspectives and capacities through meaningful (and fun!) engagement with music.
