First published in 1992, this book explores the efforts to counteract the high maternal and infant death rates present between the end of the nineteenth century and the Second World War. It looks at the problem in five different continents and shows the varying approaches used by the governments, institutions and individuals in those countries. Contributors display how policy and practice have been shaped by the structure of maternity services, nationalism, the conflict of colonization and cultural factors. In doing so, they illustrate how welfare policy and funding were moulded throughout the world in the times considered.
Everyone knows something of the sonnets of William Shakespeare - even if they have never read Shakespeare. Allusions are all around in song lyrics, TV shows, and news headlines. The 154 poems Shakespeare wrote in sonnet form and published in 1609 are referenced in so much popular culture, yet unless you are a student of English literature you may not have ever tried reading them. Now you don't have to. In this book, all the 154 original poems are included and paired with a Twitter version. That's right, every one of the sonnets has been reduced to a message of fewer than 140-characters. This is an experiment in making 400-year-old poetry work in the age of social media, but it is also a continuation of the sonnet traditions. Sonnets are very structured, short poems anyway. Poets needed to follow strict rules to make a sonnet work, to convey meaning within a set number of lines. In this book, the sonnets have been reduced to individual tweets - but they still retain the essence of each poem.
Mark Hillary has worked on words for astronauts, ambassadors, politicians and business leaders. In particular, his expertise in blogging has been utilized by several Chief Executives across the world. They want to be seen on the social networks, blogging and creating great content for their business, but they don't have the time. In this book, Mark recounts the failures and successes of working with many of these senior executives on what has now become known as 'content marketing' - or ghost-blogging for CEOs. Mark uses social networks and interesting content as tools to help executives reach the influencers and customers in their line of business. Based on years of personal experience, Mark outlines what works and doesn't work when executives start blogging and how marketing teams can create an effective blogging strategy for their executives. He also explores how blogs have become an important part of what we used to call 'the news' and therefore are more important than ever.
