Taking Charge of Your Pregnancy

The New Science for a Safe Birth and a Healthy Baby

By: Susan J. Fisher

This book is an indispensable guide to the revolutionary advances in the understanding of pregnancy and birth. For decades, Susan Fisher, PhD., and her team at the University of California, San Francisco, have been at the forefront of research into how babies develop in the womb. Fisher traces prenatal development, which proceeds at breakneck speed during the first eight weeks. She unlocks the secrets of the placenta, which steers the course of pregnancy and can affect childhood health. Taking Charge of Your Pregnancy contains the trailblazing science needed to help expectant parents: - Which prenatal vitamins are essential and when to take each - Which prenatal genetic tests are risk-free and which are a waste of money - Why moms-to-be should decline store receipts and avoid flame retardants - When to be concerned about nausea - Why expectant mothers should listen to their own mother's birth stories

Managing the Drug Discovery Process

How to Make It More Efficient and Cost-Effective

By: Susan Miller,Walter Moos,Barbara Munk,Stephen Munk

Managing the Drug Discovery Process: How to Make It More Efficient and Cost-Effective thoroughly examines the current state of pharmaceutical research and development by providing chemistry-based perspectives on biomedical research, drug hunting and innovation. The book also considers the interplay of stakeholders, consumers, and the drug firm with attendant factors, including those that are technical, legal, economic, demographic, political, social, ecological, and infrastructural. Since drug research can be a high-risk, high-payoff industry, it is important to researchers to effectively and strategically manage the drug discovery process. This book takes a closer look at increasing pre-approval costs for new drugs and examines not only why these increases occur, but also how they can be overcome to ensure a robust pharmacoeconomic future. Written in an engaging manner and including memorable insights, this book is aimed at redirecting the drug discovery process to make it more efficient and cost-effective in order to achieve the goal of saving countless more lives through science. A valuable and compelling resource, this is a must-read for all students and researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. - Considers drug discovery in multiple R&D venues, including big pharma, large biotech, start-up ventures, academia, and nonprofit research institutes - Analyzes the organization of pharmaceutical R&D, taking into account human resources considerations like recruitment and configuration, management of discovery and development processes, and the coordination of internal research within, and beyond, the organization, including outsourced work - Presents a consistent, well-connected, and logical dialogue that readers will find both comprehensive and approachable

Early Pasco

Early Pasco

By: Susan Davis Faulkner

Pasco originated during the building of the transcontinental railroad's last spur. This southeastern part of Washington was chosen as the site for a railroad bridge over the Snake River because of its proximity to the Columbia River, which created a transportation line for needed supplies. Agriculture, railroads, and the rivers combined to create a livelihood for the people of Pasco amidst the region's desert terrain and sagebrush. By 1940, the area had grown to include nearly 5,000 individuals. Images of America: Early Pasco reveals the streets of historic Pasco and the people that were instrumental in building much more than a railroad town.

Plant and Animal Endemism in California

Plant and Animal Endemism in California

By: Susan Harrison

California is globally renowned for its biological diversity, including its wealth of unique, or endemic, species. Many reasons have been cited to explain this abundance: the complex geology and topography of its landscape, the special powers of its Mediterranean-type climate, and the historic and modern barriers to the wider dispersal of its flora and fauna. Plant and Animal Endemism in California compiles and synthesizes a wealth of data on this singular subject, providing new and updated lists of native species, comparing patterns and causes of both plant and animal endemism, and interrogating the classic explanations proposed for the state’s special significance in light of new molecular evidence. Susan Harrison also offers a summary of the innovative tools that have been developed and used in California to conserve and protect this stunning and imperiled diversity.

Questions of Power

The Politics of Women's Madness Narratives

By: Susan J. Hubert

Questions of Power: The Politics of Women's Madness Narratives explores the ways in which women have used autobiographical writing in response to psychiatric symptoms and treatment. By addressing health and healing from the patient's perspective, the study raises questions about psychiatric practice and mental health policy. The ultimate thesis is that autobiographies by women psychiatric patients can expose many of the problems in psychiatric treatment and indicate directions for change."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
