In the United States alone, roughly 1% of all births take place every year at home or at a birthing center. While this percentage may not seem significant, it does, however, represent a very real shift in the minds of more and more women away from conventional thought which tries to dictate that hospitals are the only safe places to give birth.
This book is my attempt to raise the level of awareness of home births in order that women may have a safer, less invasive, and more personal childbirth experience. From my journey, countless other women have been inspired to take their own.

Автор: Alexander Samuel Wilkinson, Alejandra Ulla Lorenzo Название: A Maturing Market: The Iberian Book World in the First Half of the Seventeenth Century ISBN: 9004340378 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004340374 Издательство: Brill Цена: 159390.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Within just a generation or two of its arrival, print had become a ubiquitous and spirited part of Spain and Portugal’s urban cultures. It serviced an ever-expanding reading public, as well as many and varied practical quotidian needs. Its impact on society was multi-dimensional and complex, and its social reach far broader than the civic or ecclesiastical elites were ever to be entirely comfortable with. This cross-disciplinary volume of essays focuses on the maturing marketplace for print in the first half of the seventeenth century, shedding new light on some important transformations, with authors and publishers seizing opportunities available to them – negotiating the regulatory efforts of the censors, and scrambling to reconfigure their relationship with their readers.

Автор: Maria Alejandra Caporale Madi Название: Private Equity Globalisation: Ethical Business Challenges ISBN: 1536150436 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536150438 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 89750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book aims to fill a gap in existing literature in order to contribute to the understanding of the main features and outcomes of the private equity business model that has already been spread around the world. Private equity funds have been drivers of the financialisation of the global economy. Lying at the juncture of the real economy and the shadow banking system, private equity funds draw upon capital and debt to acquire stakes in companies that are intended to be sold for profit after a number of years. Indeed, these institutional investors have a key role in the diversification of global investments. Although US private equity firms are still dominant, the global private equity industry has been mainly moving toward Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The process of financialisation has contributed to unprecedented social, political, and environmental challenges. In this setting, the complexity of social and economic policy problems of the 21st century requires the recognition of the role of private equity globalization in the selection of investments and in the creation of new business structures. The shifts in corporate ownership, trough waves of mergers and acquisitions, have created new business structures where companies are considered bundles of assets and liabilities to be traded in order to get short-term returns. Indeed, new investment and portfolio management practices have been overwhelmed by the financialisation of wealth and "short-termism" in American and European business. While private equity investors aim to maximize their short-term returns, private equity funds turn to be major transnational employers. The outcomes of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008 made clear the need to redress and redesign business models and re-balance corporate power in order to broaden the dialogue on social responsibility. Maria Alejandra Madis book aims to foster a deeper understanding of the ethical challenges related to the private equity financial engineering model. In short, the book aims to prepare the reader for participating in a fruitful debate. The main target is the transformation of the global economy to a more just and sustainable one. This book is recommended for a broad interdisciplinary audience. Not only students in economics, management and international business, but also policy makers, regulators, managers and investors. Reading this book will benefit all those who seek to better understand the complex stakes in the evolution of the capitalist system, in the tensions between short-term profit targets, regulatory policies, and participatory openings in governance and social inclusion.

Описание: The idea that monotheistic religions have aggravated the problem of violence in public life has gained ground during the last decades. It is currently said that whoever claims to be convinced of a truth on a subject as significant as religion, runs the risk of trying to impose it on society, disregarding certain rights such as freedom of thought and of religion. It is held, moreover, that there is an intrinsic correlation between monotheism and violence and that monotheistic religions have resulted in the rise of a new type of violence, a religious one. In this book, the authors (Christians, Jews and Muslims) affirm that religions -- and particularly the Abrahamic monotheisms, are in themselves sources of peace. Although there have certainly been many cases of violence perpetrated "in the name of God", this is neither restricted to monotheism nor exclusive to it. On the other hand, there have been many historical accounts of peace and harmony in monotheistic societies. These facts require an analysis of the internal logic of monotheisms to see up to what point they lead to one type of conduct or another. This is the challenge that this book addresses.
