Parenting Culture Studies

By: Ellie Lee,Jennie Bristow,Charlotte Faircloth,Jan Macvarish

Now in its second edition, Parenting Culture Studies seeks to understand how parenting is taken as a particular mode of childrearing that reflects broader social trends. Ten years after the initial volume's groundbreaking publication, the authors once again closely examine how the main aspects of parenting have been established, explored, and critically evaluated. Chapters revisit phenomena such as intensive parenting and politics around parenting, as well as controversial issues including policing pregnant women's bodies and parental determinism. In addition to updates throughout the volume, including those addressing literature that has built from the book’s original publication, the book features a new third part discussing parents dealing with risk assessment, school closures, contradictory care arrangements, and vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prison Segregation

The Limits of Law

By: Ellie Brown

Prison Segregation: The Limits of Law explores the use of segregation in English prisons by examining how law is used and experienced, and how human rights are upheld. It draws on empirical research, through interviews with staff and prisoners, to understand how law ‘works’ (or not) in a site of the prison, which is traditionally characterised by real imbalances of power. The book draws on one of the first research studies of its kind: an in-depth ethnographic study of law, culture and norms within the segregation unit. It adopts a socio-legal perspective to explore: (i) how segregation is and should be used in prisons, and how the law sets the parameters of that usage (in theory); (ii) the complex web of laws and rules, as applies to segregation, and their relationship with the actors responsible for their implementation; (iii) how laws and rules can be undermined by the culture and context within which they are implemented. It relies on the voices of prisoners and staff, as well as observations and descriptions, to bring experiences to life. The accounts from staff and prisoners – sometimes joyous, sometimes harrowing – provide a rich and rare insight into the segregation unit. It provides access to, and insights into, parts of our criminal justice system which are typically impenetrable. Whilst it is an academic study of law and power in segregation units (and prison more broadly), it is also a very human account of lived experiences. The book is multi-disciplinary in nature and will appeal to those with an interest in law, sociology, criminology and psychology. It will also appeal to those seeking to understand socio-legal research methods in the field of criminal justice. However, the book is also pragmatic and has a number of recommendations which would be of interest to practitioners, lawyers, prison managers and policy-makers.

Imagining Bodies and Performer Training

The Legacies of Jacques Lecoq and Gaston Bachelard

By: Ellie Nixon

This book is a practical and theoretical exploration of the embodied imagining processes of devised performance in which the human and more-than-human are co-implicated in the creative process. This study brings together the work of French theatre pedagogue Jacques Lecoq (1921–1999) and French philosopher of science and the imagination Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962) to explore the notion of the imagination as embodied, enactive and embedded in the devising process. An exploration of compelling correspondences with Bachelard, whose writings imbue Lecoq’s teaching ethos, offers new practical and theoretical perspectives on Lecoq’s ‘poetic body’ in contemporary devising practices. Interweaving first-hand accounts by the author and interviews with contemporary international creative practitioners who have graduated from or have been deeply influenced by Lecoq, Imagining Bodies in Performer Training interrogates how his teachings have been adapted, developed and extended in various cultural, political and historical settings, in Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, and North and South America. These new and rich insights reveal a teaching approach that resists fixity and instead unfolds, develops and adapts to the diverse cultural and political contexts of its practitioners, teachers and students.

Postnationalism in Chicana/o Literature and Culture

Postnationalism in Chicana/o Literature and Culture

By: Ellie D. Hernández

In recent decades, Chicana/o literary and cultural productions have dramatically shifted from a nationalist movement that emphasized unity to one that openly celebrates diverse experiences. Charting this transformation, Postnationalism in Chicana/o Literature and Culture looks to the late 1970s, during a resurgence of global culture, as a crucial turning point whose reverberations in twenty-first-century late capitalism have been profound. Arguing for a postnationalism that documents the radical politics and aesthetic processes of the past while embracing contemporary cultural and sociopolitical expressions among Chicana/o peoples, Hernández links the multiple forces at play in these interactions. Reconfiguring text-based analysis, she looks at the comparative development of movements within women's rights and LGBTQI activist circles. Incorporating economic influences, this unique trajectory leads to a new conception of border studies as well, rethinking the effects of a restructured masculinity as a symbol of national cultural transformation. Ultimately positing that globalization has enhanced the emergence of new Chicana/o identities, Hernández cultivates important new understandings of borderlands identities and postnationalism itself.

Nothing Bundt Trouble

A Bakeshop Mystery

By: Ellie Alexander

This time, Torte’s pastry chef and amateur sleuth finds herself coming out of the oven and straight into the fire in Ellie Alexander's Nothing Bundt Trouble: A Bakeshop Mystery. Spring has sprung in Ashland, Oregon, and everything at Torte seems to be coming up buttercream roses. But just when Juliet Capshaw seems to have found her sweet spot—with her staff set to handle the influx of tourists for this year’s Shakespeare festival while she moves back into her childhood home—things take a dramatic turn. Jules discovers a long-forgotten dossier in her deceased father’s belongings that details one of the most controversial cases in Ashland’s history: a hit-and-run accident from the 1980s. Or was it? Now it’s up to Jules to parse through a whole new world of details from another era, from unraveling cassette tapes to recipes for Bundt cakes, before an old enemy brings the Capshaw “pastry case” to a modern-day dead end. The Bakeshop Mysteries are: “Delicious.”—RT Book Reviews “Marvelous.”—Fresh Fiction “Delectable.”—Portland Book Review

We’ve packed this bundle full of mountains, beaches, Hollywood glamour, sunshine, and wine, delivering romance the way only California can. Join these ten couples as they explore love in the state known for its golden dreams. California Sunrise: Dr. Raúl Mendez finds himself drawn to plucky single mother Alicia Fuentes after he diagnoses her young son on the autism spectrum, but their blossoming relationship must withstand the political and very personal battles surrounding immigration. Heart of Design: The tabloids portray flirtatious Ian O’Connor as Hollywood’s latest playboy, but Sophie Hartland is just there to renovate his bedroom, not become another notch on his bedpost. Ian finds her a refreshing change from the actress wannabes. Can Sophie ignore her traitorous libido—and, more importantly, protect her heart in this game of wills? Paradise Point: Liv Barnette needs a new life. So inheriting 50 percent ownership in Paradise Point marina is a lucky break. The sexy downside? Sharing her windfall with Army Ranger Adam Lark, who will go to any extreme to see her gone…or so he thinks. The Very Thought of You: San Francisco builder Nick Mancini has offered the tenants in his newly acquired apartment house a good deal: twenty-five grand to vacate the premises so he can demolish it for his next project. Molly Hewitt is rallying everyone to hold out for a hundred. Surely he can flirt his way out of this roadblock—or are the stakes too high this time? Urgent: One Nanny Required: Entrepreneur Rania George is offered a sweet gig babysitting a little boy who hangs out at her candy store. The only catch? She has to fly to Hollywood—a place she loathes—and spend three weeks with his devastatingly handsome and arrogant father. Secrets of the Sky: Sparrow Reed might look like an angel, but she’s actually a witch who can change into a songbird. When her best friend’s problems drop Sparrow in an underworld fraught with threats, Rowen Aerion of the Knights of the Fog has his hands full trying to keep her alive—and his love may be her biggest danger of all. One Moment’s Pleasure: Drawn to San Francisco during the Gold Rush, Edith narrowly escapes working in a bordello, but she can’t escape Dutch Trahern, who seeks redemption after his misspent youth. Could he be the key to helping her find her way out of the family tragedy that sent her west in the first place? Hiding from Hollywood: When movie producer Ethan Walker breezes into Abby’s diner, she’s terrified. The last thing she wants is her name connected with his when her life is now about hiding from the tabloids. But when she’s left without a safe place to stay, Ethan offers her sanctuary in his home, and Abby must decide whether she can finally stop running and trust Ethan with her secret. Fearless Love: Jake Colt has no interest in handling the Carmichael winery acquisition, but he has little choice thanks to the business agreement he made with his father. Madison Carmichael refuses to let this interloper take what belongs to her family, no matter what passions he stirs in her heart. When two opposing forces clash, sparks are bound to fly… Deadly Star: An amateur astronomer spots what she thinks is a new comet in the California desert night sky, but her theory is way off base. She’s stumbled onto the government’s top secret, and only her CIA ex-husband can help her find the light. Sensuality Level: Sensual

THE ALLIANCE Second installment to the A Broken Paradise Series. "Oh my god!" "WENI!" "WENI!, open your eyes!" "What happened?" "CUALLI!" "What's happened to Weni, Cualli?."

"Awen is still in there, that body is still hers." "How can you trust her?" Tess asked. "I don't think it's a case of trust right now...." Ceri said as he got to his feet and walked to Galina and Sheriton. "She's keeping my sister alive.

Abortion, Motherhood, and Mental Health

Medicalizing Reproduction in the United States and Great Britain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Abortion, Motherhood, and Mental Health

Medicalizing Reproduction in the United States and Great Britain

By: Ellie Lee

Whatever reproductive choices women make--whether they opt to end a pregnancy through abortion or continue to term and give birth--they are considered to be at risk of suffering serious mental health problems. According to opponents of abortion in the United States, potential injury to women is a major reason why people should consider abortion a problem. On the other hand, becoming a mother can also be considered a big risk. This fine, well-balanced book is about how people represent the results of reproductive choices. It examines how and why pregnancy and its various outcomes have come to be discussed this way. The author's interest in the medicalization of reproduction--its representation as a mental health problem--first arose in relation to abortion. There is a very clear contrast between the construction of women who have abortions, implied by moralized argument against abortion, and the construction that results when the case against abortion focuses on its effects on women's mental health. Lee argues that claims that connect abortion with mental illness have been limited in their influence, but this is not to suggest that they have not become a focus for discussion and have had no impact. The limits to such claims about abortion do not, by any means, suggest limits to the process of the medicalization of pregnancy more broadly, that is, a process of demedicalization. The final theme of Ellie Lee's book is the selective medicalization of reproduction. Centering on the claim that abortion can create a post abortion syndrome, the author examines the "medicalization" of the abortion problem on both sides of the Atlantic. Lee points to contrasts in legal and medical dimensions of the abortion issue that make for some important differences, but argues that in both the United States and Great Britain, the post-abortion-syndrome claim constitutes an example of the limits to medicalization and the return to the theme of motherhood as a psychological ordeal. Lee makes the case for looking to the social dimensions of mental health problems to account for and understand debates about what makes women ill. Ellie Lee is research fellow in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Southampton, Highfield, United Kingdom.

Laboratory Dogs Rescued

From Test Subjects to Beloved Companions

By: Ellie Hansen

Animal testing is a controversy that has raged for hundreds of years. Some people view experiments on dogs as necessary for human medical progress, while others argue that the practice is barbaric. When the author adopted Marty--a beagle rescued from a research laboratory--she found herself rehabilitating a terrified dog with a traumatic past. She soon discovered the well-kept secret of painful and often fatal testing on dogs. This book details what the author has learned about the past and present of laboratory testing on dogs, life after laboratories and the hope for a future without animal testing. Interviews with rescue organizers and adoptive families reveal the struggles of removing dogs from laboratories and acclimating them to daily life. Scientists discuss the ethics of dog research and advocate for new biomedical technologies. Fundamental change is brewing, with the public, scientists and governments urging the use of new technologies that can replace testing on animals and yield better results.

Human Impacts at a Planetary Scale

Why System Change Is Essential

By: Ellie Sherrard-Smith

As humans, we have remarkable capacity to collaborate, building global infrastructure that connects financial, political and social systems. However, having scaled our infrastructure globally, planetary boundaries have been exceeded in multiple directions. To protect Earth, we now face a task to transition both philosophically and technologically to lifestyles that seek to restore critical functions of natural ecosystems so that we, and other species on the planet, can survive. This is a mammoth challenge that will require changes in the jobs of hundreds of millions of people and a shift in ethic and legislation toward ecological protection and restoration. This book explores the motivations of human society, our global infrastructure and legislation. It highlights various systems and challenges that are contributing to ecosystem and species loss, and documents some of the solutions being offered. The interconnectivity of all these things is evident given the overlapping themes throughout the various sections, and the book serves to collectively highlight some of these major challenges and the locked-in nature of our systems so that we can address them.

Between HIV Prevention and LGBTI Rights

The Political Economy of Queer Activism in Ghana

By: Ellie Gore

Between HIV Prevention and LGBTI Rights investigates the transformative impacts of global development's sexual rights agenda on queer politics and activism in Ghana. With queer men bearing a disproportionate burden of HIV in Africa, rights-based health interventions have sought to tackle the epidemic by bringing together, educating, and ‘empowering’ queer African communities. Gore argues that queer Ghanaian men are not benefiting from development’s turn to sexual health and sexual rights. Instead, HIV and other sexual rights–based initiatives operate through neoliberal paradigms that reinforce class divides and de-politicize queer struggle. These dynamics are further shaping and shaped by the politicization of homophobia within the contemporary Ghanaian state. Gore combines original ethnography, documentary analysis, and the examination of development and global health data to connect the struggle for queer liberation in Ghana to broader trajectories of capitalist transformation and crisis and the afterlives of colonialism. In doing so, Between HIV Prevention and LGBTI Rights offers fascinating insights into the political economy of sexuality and global development for scholars, activists, and policymakers seeking to understand and address sexual injustice and oppression, both in Africa and beyond.

What are the barriers to women's participation in live comedy, and how are these barriers maintained in the digital era? In this book, Ellie Tomsett considers how the origins of stand-up comedy still impact on current live comedy production, and explains how the contemporary stand-up scene continues to reflect wider societal stereotypes about the capabilities of women. Using primary data collected from women-only comedy nights and immersive research with the UK Women in Comedy Festival in Manchester, Tomsett analyses examples of stand-up performed by contemporary comedians - including Bridget Christie, Luisa Omielan, Lolly Adefope and Gráinne Maguire - and provocatively questions how these performances relate to conceptions of feminist and postfeminist humour, as well as notions of backlash against contemporary feminisms. She focuses on live comedy that is explicitly feminist to consider how social attitudes to women, the increasing visibility of female labour outside the home, and the emergence of multiple (and sometimes contradictory) feminisms has influenced the comedy produced by women comedians in 21st century Britain.

Hole

By: Ellie Kendrick

A hole in the ground. Three women are forcing their way out. They're singing. They're moving. They're taking up space. And they refuse to apologise. Using word, music and movement in equal parts, Royal Court Young Writers' Programme alumna Ellie Kendrick's debut play Hole asks how power is created. It has a cast of six women, who perform as individuals, but also move together and speak in chorus. "They sing, chant, sprout black wings, retell the stories of Pandora and Medusa and, in one particularly effective passage questioning the male gaze, remind us that elementary particles don't like being watched." (The Guardian)

Confessions of the Shtetl

Converts from Judaism in Imperial Russia, 1817-1906

By: Ellie R. Schainker

Over the course of the nineteenth century, some 84,500 Jews in imperial Russia converted to Christianity. Confessions of the Shtetl explores the day-to-day world of these people, including the social, geographic, religious, and economic links among converts, Christians, and Jews. The book narrates converts' tales of love, desperation, and fear, tracing the uneasy contest between religious choice and collective Jewish identity in tsarist Russia. Rather than viewing the shtetl as the foundation myth for modern Jewish nationhood, this work reveals the shtetl's history of conversions and communal engagement with converts, which ultimately yielded a cultural hybridity that both challenged and fueled visions of Jewish separatism. Drawing on extensive research with conversion files in imperial Russian archives, in addition to the mass press, novels, and memoirs, Ellie R. Schainker offers a sociocultural history of religious toleration and Jewish life that sees baptism not as the fundamental departure from Jewishness or the Jewish community, but as a conversion that marked the start of a complicated experiment with new forms of identity and belonging. Ultimately, she argues that the Jewish encounter with imperial Russia did not revolve around coercion and ghettoization but was a genuinely religious drama with a diverse, attractive, and aggressive Christianity.

Management of Knowledge-Intensive Organizations

Governance Models for Transformative Discovery

By: Ellie Okada

This book focuses on enhancing management theories of Knowledge-Intensive Organizations (KIOs), analyzing academic and research institutions and multilateral agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO). The first part of the book discusses the trusteeship norms of academic KIOs and institutional barriers that generate bias in selecting the research agenda. The author then discusses how moral stakeholders affect a legitimate research scope, and research policies and academic KIOs address the issues. Finally, the book addresses how to control private incentives that stem from ownership components as well as ways to build alliance and governance mechanisms for this purpose. This work provides researchers with a discussion of the broader impacts of addressing global common goods from responsible KIO perspectives.

Mouth Care Comes Clean

Breakthrough Strategies to Stop Cavities and Heal Gum Disease Naturally

By: Ellie Phillips DDS

Enjoy the Mouth Health You Deserve! Dr. Ellie challenges the traditional dental mantra that tells us to “brush and floss” because she believes it is dangerous advice and ineffective in light of our understanding that cavities and gum disease are bacterial infections. Oral health depends on the development of a bacterial balance in the mouth, and this cannot be achieved with a length of floss, by over-zealous cleaning, or indiscriminate killing of mouth bacteria. Our mouth ecology develops early in life as bacteria transfer between parents and their babies. This exchange is important and continues throughout life as family and friends kiss, talk, or simply share food. Today we know that harmful mouth bacteria can impact our general health and that some are implicated in chronic inflammatory conditions. A healthy mouth will give you a brighter smile and provide special protection from cavities, gum disease, bad breath, sensitivity, and enamel erosion to ultimately limit your need for dental treatments—including cleanings, fillings, sealants, root canals, crowns, implants, and extractions. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Ellie shares her easy-to-follow strategies that put oral health under your control. She reveals how to: • Stop and reverse cavities and gum disease • Use diet and digestive health to influence saliva quality and promote tooth and gum healing • Enjoy xylitol to control acidic damage and sensitivity • End the discomfort of dry mouth and gum recession • Avoid damage caused by flossing • Evaluate sealants and their potential dangers • Learn the dangers of artificial whitening and how to naturally whiten your teeth Mouth Care Comes Clean can empower you and lead you to a new level of oral health. The strategies are simple but they can miraculously transform mouth health.

Jimmy Milks a Cow - Early Reader - Children's Picture Books

By: Ellie Davidson,John Davidson

Jimmy Milks a Cow - Early Reader - Children's Picture Books Your child will love reading this book, or you will enjoy reading it to your child. This book is a really fun book about a young man's desire to accomplish something that all of his friends and classmates don't believe he can do. He believes in his dream and is able to accomplish his goal. An easy reading book with colorful graphics. Jimmy's whole class was going to Mr. Redman's Farm to see all of his animals. Jimmy couldn't wait! His mom didn't even have to rush him to eat breakfast or tell him to brush his teeth. "I will pet a chicken, I will see the pigs!" Jimmy exclaimed to his mom while she cooked breakfast for Jimmy. Then a new thought came to Jimmy, "I will milk a cow!" Jimmy exclaimed. Jimmy's mom laughed and hurried Jimmy to eat so that he could catch the bus. Jimmy wondered if the bus would ever get to school as he dreamed of his field trip to Mr. Redman's Farm. Finally, Jimmy and his class were on their way! Jimmy told all his friends that he was going to milk a cow and they all laughed. Jimmy wondered why everyone laughed and didn't believe him. It seemed like it took forever to get to the farm but everyone said it was only 30 minutes away. Then Jimmy saw it, Mr. Redman's Farm! All the children screamed and yelled in joy! A man with a straw hat and overalls met the bus. The man was smiling and waving. He looked as excited as Jimmy was! The children got off the bus one by one and Jimmy was careful to stay in a straight line like the teacher said. Mr. Redman started talking to the 2nd grade class and telling them all about his farm. They walked from barn to barn. Jimmy got to pet a chicken, Jimmy saw the pigs. Now, all he had to do was find the cows! Jimmy kept reminding everyone he was going to milk a cow. Billy, one of Jimmy's friends, laughed really loud and said "You can't milk a cow!" Jimmy frowned and said "Why not?" Billy said "Duh, why would they let you and not us?" Jimmy didn't know the answer; he just knew he was going to milk a cow. As they all got closer to the cow barn, Jimmy grew more and more excited. Mr. Redman showed them around the barn. He explained and pointed to the stalls and the feed troughs. Then, he showed them the cows behind the barn! Jimmy was in awe. They were black and white and so big! He'd rode by a field of cows before but he'd never been this close to one before! "WOW!" Jimmy said.
