For courses in maternal-child nursing, care of women and children,
and women's health, for both 4-year BSN-level courses and selected
ADN-level (2-year) programs. This is a family-focused text that
provides comprehensive coverage of maternal-newborn nursing and
women's health with special attention to evidence-based practice,
cultural competence, critical thinking, professionalism, patient
education, and home/community care. Accurate, readable, personal,
and engaging, it reflects a deep understanding of pregnancy and
birth as normal life processes, and of family members as partners
in care. This edition includes a deeper discussion of childbirth at
risk; four new nursing care plans; updated coverage of
contraception, complementary/alternative therapies, and much more.
New features include Professionalism in Practice and Health
Promotion Education boxes, Clinical Judgment case studies, and
Critical Thinking questions. This edition also pays special
attention to aligning with the AACN's Essentials of Baccalaureate
Education for Professional Nursing Practice.
Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials
in Food was published. It was arguably considered the "must-have"
reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials
used in foods. In the years since the last edition, the food
industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes
on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of
"natural" and "clean-label" antimicrobials have increased
significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and
potentially hazardous foods, along with a critical need to reduce
food spoilage waste, has increased the need for suitable
antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials
continue to be discovered, and new research has been carried out on
traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the
editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In
the 4th edition, the editors have compiled contemporary topics with
information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities
in their fields. In addition to updated information, new chapters
have been added in this latest release with content on the use of
bacteriophages, lauric arginate ester, and various systems for
antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions
of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally
occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources,
methods for determining antimicrobial activity, new approaches to
multifactorial food preservation or "hurdle technology," and
mechanisms of action, resistance, and stress adaptation are
included. Complementing these topics is new information on
quantifying the capability of "clean" antimicrobials for food
preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and
industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use
in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials,
natural and synthetic, with the latest research on each type
Contains 5,000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial
Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food
products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery
technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with
antimicrobials

The role of disability and deafness in art Distressing Language is
full of mistakes-errors of hearing, speaking, writing, and
understanding. Michael Davidson engages the role of disability and
deafness in contemporary aesthetics, exploring how physical and
intellectual differences challenge our understanding of art and
poetry. Where hearing and speaking are considered normative
conditions of the human, what happens when words are misheard and
misspoken? How have writers and artists, both disabled and
non-disabled, used error as generative elements in contesting the
presumed value of "sounding good"? Distressing Language grows out
of the author's experience of hearing loss in which
misunderstandings have become a daily occurrence. Davidson
maintains that verbal confusions are less an aberration in
understanding than a component of new knowledge. Davidson discusses
a range of sites, from captioning errors and Bad Lip Reads on
YouTube, to the deaf artist Christine Sun Kim's audiovisual
installations, and a poetic reinterpretation of the Biblical
Shibboleth responding to the atrocities of the Holocaust. Deafness
becomes a guide in each chapter of Distressing Language, giving us
a closer look at a range of artistic mediums and how artists are
working with the axiom of "error" to produce novel subjecthoods and
possibilities.
This volume is based on the 10th annual Harvard Symposium for the
Quantitative Analysis of Behavior. The first Harvard Symposium was
devoted to signal-detection analyses of reinforcement and choice
behavior. The present volume reprises the original signal-
detection theme, incorporating additional insights based on
experimental and theoretical analyses undertaken during the years
separating the two conferences. This collection illustrates how
signal-detection theory, first advanced to account for performance
in threshold-level sensory discrimination, has broadened to
encompass a variety of psychological problems involving
discriminations between confusable stimuli. The approach is
quantitative in its emphasis on estimation of independent
parameters of the discrimination process, and analytical in its
efforts to separate the determiners of discriminability and bias
and to identify the mechanisms of their operation. Above all, the
book is broadly integrative in its approach to diverse problems.

Michael Davidson - author of the highly acclaimed Mozart and the
Pianist - casts new light on some of the most masterly sonatas
written for the piano and on the uniqueness of these great
compositions and their composers. Excepting the considerable
literature on Beethoven, few studies are available which explore
the interpretation of this much played repertoire. This study is
not only a detailed look at fourteen sonatas; one can also learn
more about other works by these composers and about aspects of
'style' - that magical quality which differentiates Haydn from
Mozart, Beethoven from Schubert, Liszt from Brahms.
Hot sex is in the eyes of the beholder -- for some, it means doing
it in public, where the risk factor heightens the pleasure
potential. The protagonists of the stories in Exhibitions take that
idea one step further by bringing sex out of the shadows -- brief
yet thrilling encounters in public, from well-known venues such as
the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, and the London
Underground, to a church in Vienna, a nightclub in Seoul, a
steambath in Istanbul, and a night train in New York. These sexy
tales, which feature straight, gay, and pansexual scenes, are
imbued with the exotic sights and sensations of their locales, and
share a belief in the intoxicating power of sex and its various
manifestations. The collection is, above all, an erotic traveller's
guide for tourists and armchair travellers alike, for whom sex is
defined only by its possibilities.
All the sonatas, fantasies, rondi, as well as the most important
variation sets and assorted pieces are included. Michael Davidson
guides us through each composition addressing specific aspects and
problems, offering practical advice and interesting alternatives as
well as historical background and formal analysis when relevant to
interpretation.
The all-in-one resource for maternal-newborn and pediatric nursing
skills Designed for both the nursing student and the practitioner,

serve as both a text companion and an essential reference for
step-by-step procedures in clinical settings. Showcasing more than
150 skills commonly performed on childbearing women, newborns, and
children, this portable reference guides the reader through
protective methods, pain assessment and management, administration
of medicine and irrigation, physical assessment, and other
information crucial to nurses using full-color photographs and
rationales. Throughout the manual, boxes and tables highlight
important safety issues, growth and development considerations,
teaching for families, and clinical tips. Appendices provide
information on growth grids and calculation of body surface area
for medication administration.
