Taylor & Francis Ltd Caesarean
Book SynopsisThis book critically analyzes the place of caesarean in childbearing at the beginning of the twenty first century. It questions the changes that are taking place in childbirth and, in particular, the effects and implications of an increase in caesarean births. This controversial work by a practising midwife and researcher, includes discussion of: the context of the operation and description of it health systems around the world and their caesarean incidence rates decision-making and cultural/medical constraints the short and long term implications of caesarean for baby and mother. Using up-to-date research, Rosemary Mander bases her argument on a firm evidence-base and argues that the rapidly rising caesarean section rate may not be for the benefit of either the woman giving birth or her baby. Rather, the beneficiaries may actually be those professionals whose investment is in extending the range of their influence and thus iTrade Review"A meticulous and exhaustively referenced study…Rosemary Mander tackles evidence from randomised controlled trials as well as legend, myth and fiction, and throughout her book places the discussion surrounding Caesareans in a social context. This makes for a fascinating read." -- Sheila Kitzinger, birth activist and midwife"A short review cannot do justice to the book's richness, precision, and compassion. Rosemary Mander combines attention to language, meticulous organization of each topic, knowledge of medical issues, and critiques of available research and research methodology with a positive view of the benefits of midwifery and an accurate perception of women's rights and needs, among them comfort, appropriate care, attention to the whole picture, and truly informed consent. Implicit in the text is a plea for practitioners to reorient their studies, attitudes, and practice so as to meet those crucial needs." -- Jane Pincus, Co-Author of Our Bodies Ourselves, Birth, Vol. 35, No. 1, March 2008Table of Contents1. ‘The Game of the Name’ 2.

Taylor & Francis Disability Rights and Wrongs Revisited
Over the last forty years, the field of disability studies has emerged from the political activism of disabled people. In this challenging review of the field, leading disability academic and activist Tom Shakespeare argues that disability research needs a firmer conceptual and empirical footing. This new edition is updated throughout, reflecting Shakespeareâs most recent thinking, drawing on current research, and responding to controversies surrounding the first edition and the World Report on Disability, as well as incorporating new chapters on cultural disability studies, personal assistance, sexuality, and violence. Using a critical realist approach, Disability Rights and Wrongs Revisited promotes a pluralist, engaged and nuanced approach to disability. Key topics discussed include: dichotomies â going beyond dangerous polarizations such as medical model versus social model to achieve a complex, multi-factorial account of di
