The first 40 days after the birth of a child offer an essential and
fleeting period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on
author Heng Ou's own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi, a set
period of "confinement," in which a woman remains at home focusing
on healing and bonding with her baby, The First Forty Days revives
the lost art of caring for the mother after birth. As modern
mothers are pushed to prematurely "bounce back" after deliver ing
their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and
emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first
forty days provide a lifeline-a source of connection, nourishment,
and guidance. The book includes 60 simple recipes for healing
soups; replenishing meals and snacks; and calming and
lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support the unique needs
of the new mother. In addition to the recipes, this warm and
encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help
during the post partum period, navigating relationship challenges,
and honoring the significance of pregnancy and birth. The First
Forty Days, fully illustrated to feel both inspiring and soothing,
is a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and
mothers-to-be-the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new
baby.

Treatment of Psychological Disorders has been a trusted resource
for instructors and students. Known for its comprehensive coverage
of current research, the book consists of a balance and blending of

America, Africa, and Asia Pacific which present a more encompassing
view of the clinical context for the theories and research that
occupy most of our attention in the book.

This timely book examines how nonprofits can prepare for and
respond to serious threats, such as pandemics, economic recessions,
terrorist attacks and other potentially catastrophic events.
Reliant on donors, regulators, government funders and dedicated
staff and volunteers, nonprofits are often vulnerable and
unprepared to navigate such crises. Making a frank assessment of
the risks these organizations face and how to enable them to become
more resilient, Dennis Young and Elizabeth Searing develop
multifaceted strategies involving balance sheets, cost and income
structures, human resources, networks, technology,
entrepreneurship, and information systems. Practical
recommendations based on research are offered to managers for
assessing risk and developing resilience strategies appropriate to
their own organizations. The innovative use of templates for
executive briefings, dashboards, and stress tests are included in a
new management paradigm for building healthier and more effective
nonprofit organizations for the future. The insights and tools on
how to develop and manage resilient organizations makes this an
excellent resource for nonprofit managers and trustees, foundations
and government funders. Researchers, teachers, and students will
also gain a greater understanding of how current research drives
the resiliency paradigm and how to move research on nonprofit
resilience forward.
