Boston University School of Medicine and Vice Chair of Academics in the OB/GYN department at Boston Medical Center, combines the latest medical research with the information you need—the facts and the forecasts, the hand-holding and the hope—when you experience a pregnancy loss.Miscarriage affects almost 1 million women in the United States every year. Yet each person experiencing a pregnancy loss often feels alone and full of questions about the process and the aftermath. And today&’s health care system is simply not designed to shepherd you and your family through the loss with the information and understanding you need. Dr. Kate provides an experienced hand to help guide you through this painful experience. Dr. Kate&’s book provides women and their families with the two things sorely missing from their experience: detailed answers to their questions about miscarriage, and support and guidance through the healing process. Your Guide to Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss takes readers through the journey of miscarriage diagnosis and treatment. It addresses all types of pregnancy loss—like ectopic and molar pregnancies, as well as ones that are often overlooked by the media and other books. Filled with accessible information, frequently asked questions and answers, and methods for coping with grief, the book empowers women undergoing pregnancy loss to take control over their experience. Written from the perspective of a medical professional who has cared for women having miscarriages for more than 20 years and a woman who has experienced two miscarriages herself, Dr. Kate&’s Your Guide to Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss is an earnest conversation between doctor and reader that provides compassion and guidance, as well as hope for a woman&’s future pregnancy efforts. &“The Miscarriage Guide lays out the paths of all kinds of miscarriages, helping women understand what&’s happening and how they can move forward toward healing.&” -- Dr. Beri Ridgeway, Chief of Staff, Former Chair, Department of OB/GYN and the Women&’s Health Institute, Cleveland Clinic &“A delicate and expert mix of medical knowledge, emotional intelligence, and individual clinical guidance. This book provides that in a way that is wise, comprehensive, and sympathetic.&” -- Dr. Jeffrey Ecker, Chief, Department of OB/GYN Massachusetts General Hospital Professor, Harvard Medical School &“Finally, a book about miscarriages written in clear, simple language, filled with understanding and human kindness.&” - Dr. Eve Espey, Professor and Chair, Department of OB/GYN, University of New Mexico &“The emotional turmoil of miscarriage makes it impossible for the current healthcare system to provide the necessary support so desperately needed. By empowering women to control their experience, Dr. Kate creates a space for understanding, healing, and most importantly hope.&” --Dr. Amy Murtha, Professor and Chair, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California San Francisco &“This book answers all of the questions my own patients ask me in the office, as well as the ones they are afraid to ask. A must-have resource for anyone who has been touched by miscarriage.&” -- Dr. Angela Dempsey, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Associate Dean for Curriculum, Clinical Sciences, Department of OB/GYN, Medical University of South Carolina &“If you&’ve ever experienced a pregnancy loss or know someone who has, this book is for you. If you&’ve ever faced a difficult decision after receiving unexpected results on fetal testing, this book is also for you. Dr. White speaks from the heaSilly Jokes About Food (Silly Joke Books)

Parir (edición actualizada): El poder del parto
By Ibone Olza. 2017
Parir no es un manual médico, sino un ensayo sobre la experiencia más vital por la que pueda pasar una…
mujer desde el punto de vista de ella y del bebé. Un análisis de lo que pensamos del parto, lo que sabemos, lo que históricamente ha sido y qué significa en el imaginario colectivo. «Es interesante preguntarse el porqué de todo esto. ¿Por qué el parto tiene semejante intensidad psíquica? ¿Por qué las hormonas que lo dirigen son las mismas que producen la vivencia amorosa? Quiero pensar que la respuesta está ahí, en el amor. El amor entre madres e hijos o hijas, el amor como base de toda la evolución social y comunitaria que ha permitido el fabuloso desarrollo cerebral que produce el lenguaje y la inteligencia humana.Esta es mi propuesta: comprender el parto desde la psicología y las neurociencias. Partiendo de lo que cuentan las mujeres, integrar los relatos de las vivencias del parto con la ayuda de la psicología, la neuroendocrinología o incluso la neuroimagen. Intentemos integrar los datos y profundizar en el sentido último o evolutivo de lo que observamos.»Ibone Olza «Creo que con su excelente libro Ibone arroja luz sobre un tema complicado y controvertido. Y que va a ayudar no solo a las mujeres y a los profesionales de la salud a revisar la aproximación que hacemos al parto, sino que también ayudará en la tarea de recuperar el parto como algo que nos concierne, definitiva y profundamente, a las mujeres.»Del prólogo de Icíar BollaínThe Sunday Times Bestseller: A heartwarming memoir about a man at the mercy of his unpredictable, demanding and endlessly lovable…
cats.Meet THE BEAR - a cat who carries the weight of the world on his furry shoulders, and whose wise, owl-like eyes seem to ask, Can you tell me why I am a cat, please?Like many intellectuals, The Bear would prefer a life of quiet solitude with plenty of time to gaze forlornly into space and contemplate society's ills. Unfortunately he is destined to spend his days surrounded by felines of a significantly lower IQ . . .RALPH: handsome, self-satisfied tabby, terrified of the clothes horse.SHIPLEY: mouthy hooligan and champion mouser, rendered insensible by being turned upside-down.ROSCOE: fiercely independent kitten, tormented by her doppelganger in the mirror. And then there's Tom, writing with his usual wit and charm about the unexpected adventures that go hand in hand with a life at the beck and call of four cats . . . or three cats and a sensitive poet who just happens to be a foot high and covered in fur.David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall

By Malcolm Castle. 2012
Nothing about the county fire service was quite what Malcolm expected when he joined the watch in Shrewsbury. As the…
newest member of the service he was first in line when swans terrorised the high street - and when a flock of owls got stuck on the roof of his local pub. Eighteen years old and more than ready to rush into burning buildings to save fair damsels in distress, young Malcolm soon realised he was more likely to be jumping into slurry pits and rivers to rescue any number of unfortunate animals. But for all the embarrassing situations Malcolm found himself in there were heart-stopping dramas too - and tragic farm and house fires. As he learns on the job and begins to win the respect of the old-timers, Malcolm starts to feel that maybe, one day, he just might make it as a fireman. But first he has to catch the eye of the smiley secretary in the office opposite the station ... Funny, moving and gloriously nostalgic, All Fired Up paints a unique portrait of rural Britain - and shows just how surprising a fireman's life can be.Read by Dean Williamson(p) 2012 Isis Publishing LtdThe Gospel According to Paul

state. There are people living in this country who have never seen true political leadership, having been governed in recent times by the dullest, most sanctimonious, hypocritical choir of patsies. This book will give them a woefully overdue idea of what a real leader looks like.Leadership is not like a can of Popeye's spinach - you have to earn it. And earn it I did. And I am going to tell you how.In The Gospel According to Paul, writer and satirist Jonathan Biggins draws on his award-winning play to harness the eviscerating wit, wisdom and confidence of Keating, showing us the evolution of Paul John Keating, from Bankstown to the Lodge and beyond. Almost the autobiography Keating said he would never write, it is a timely reminder of the political leadership we are sorely missing.KSI: I Am a Bellend

David Sedaris (Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt)Anyone who has heard David Sedaris speaking live or on the radio will tell you that a collection from him is cause for jubilation. A move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious pieces, including 'Me Talk Pretty One Day', about his attempts to learn French from a sadistic teacher who declares that 'every day spent with you is like having a caesarean section'. His family is another inspiration. 'You Can't Kill the Rooster' is a portrait of his brother, who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers of food and cashiers with six-inch fingernails.Readers say:'Fantastically funny book which gets better and better''Oh how I loved this book. David Sedaris and his adventures in learning to speak French made me cry with laughter, especially the terrifying teacher at the language classes''Why have I not discovered him before'My Madder Fatter Diary

school. But how the hell can she concentrate on that when it looks like the love of her life, Haddock, may be about to seriously do it with her? The thing is... is she ready? What if she's actually meant to be with Battered Sausage? And are either of these boys really that interested in her at all? She's certainly not getting any thinner; in fact, she's getting fatter. Every time she thinks of her final exams, she has to have another biscuit. Or five. And it's very difficult to concentrate on anything when her mum's Moroccan boyfriend is singing along to the radio in Arabic...(P)2015 Hodder & StoughtonLove...From Both Sides: Book 1 in the Love...Series (Love... #1)

Tolkien fans in the US for more than40 years.Pulling in references to popular culture and fantasy literature as a whole, this is a killingly effective parody of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. From the dreary Goddamn (Gollum) to the feckless Arrowroot (Aragorn), the bungling Goodgulf (Gandalf) to the timid, mean-minded boggies Frito (Frodo) and Dildo (Bilbo), no character is safe. Fleeing the Nozdrul, bored by acid-casualty Tim Benzedrine and harassed throughout by the minions of Sorhed, the fellowship move through a Middle Earth like no other. Short, sharp and very much to the point, even Tolkien would be hard-pressed to surpress a giggle at BORED OF THE RINGS.Read by Rupert Degas. Rupert Degas has narrated over 100 audiobooks. He has recorded a diverse range of authors, from Andy McNab, James Patterson, Wilbur Smith, and Chris Ryan to children's authors such as Derek Landy, Darren Shan, Jamie Rix, and Philip Pullman.

Trillin on Texas (Bridwell Texas History Series)
By Calvin Trillin. 2011
Articles and comic verse about the Lone Star State from the Thurber Prize winner: &“What&’s not to love?&” —Texas Monthly…
Whether reporting for the New Yorker, penning comic verse and political commentary, or writing his memoirs, Calvin Trillin has bumped into Texas again and again. He insists it&’s not by design—&“there has simply been a lot going on in Texas.&” Astute readers will note, however, that Trillin&’s family immigrated to America through the port of Galveston, and, after reading this book, many will believe the Lone Star State has somehow imprinted itself on his imagination. Trillin on Texas gathers some of his best writing on subjects near to his heart—politics, true crime, food, and rare books among them—that also have a Texas connection. Indulging his penchant for making &“snide and underhanded jokes about respectable public officials,&” he offers his signature sardonic take on the Bush dynasty and their tendency toward fractured syntax; a faux but quite believable LBJ speech; and wry portraits of assorted Texas county judges, small town sheriffs, and Houston immigration lawyers. He takes us on a pilgrimage to the barbecue joint that Texas Monthly named the best in Texas, and describes scouting for books with Larry McMurtry. He tells the stories of two teenagers who dug up half a million dollars in an ice chest, and of rare book dealer Johnny Jenkins, who was found floating in the Colorado River with a bullet wound in the back of his head. And he recounts how redneck movie reviewer &“Joe Bob Briggs&” fueled a war between Dallas&’s daily newspapers and pays tribute to two courageous Texas women who spoke truth to power: Molly Ivins and Sissy Farenthold. Sure to entertain both Texans and non-Texans, Trillin on Texas proves again that Trillin is one of America&’s shrewdest and wittiest observers.Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy

By Aileen Weintraub. 2022
A laugh-out-loud memoir about a free-spirited, commitment-phobic Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living in a rickety…
farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids. Aileen Weintraub has been running away from commitment her entire life, hopping from one job and one relationship to the next. When her father suddenly dies, she flees her Jewish Brooklyn community for the wilds of the country, where she unexpectedly falls in love with a man who knows a lot about produce, tractors, and how to take a person down in one jiu-jitsu move. Within months of saying &“I do&” she&’s pregnant, life is on track, and then wham! Her doctor slaps a high-risk label on her uterus and sends her to bed for five months. As her husband&’s bucolic (and possibly haunted) farmhouse begins to collapse and her marriage starts to do the same, Weintraub finally confronts her grief for her father while fighting for the survival of her unborn baby. In her precarious situation, will she stay or will she once again run away from it all? Knocked Down is an emotionally charged, laugh-out-loud roller-coaster ride of survival and growth. It is a story about marriage, motherhood, and the risks we take.F*ck Off, Chloe!: Surviving the OMGs! and FMLs! in Your Media Career
