Rutgers University Press Carrying On: Another School of Thought on
Book SynopsisIn the twenty-first century, expecting parents are inundated with information and advice from every direction, but are often strapped for perspective on how to think through it. Unlike traditional pregnancy guidebooks that offer recommendations, Carrying On helps expecting parents make sense of the overwhelming amount of counsel available to them by shedding light on where it all came from. How and why did such confusing and contradictory guidance on pregnancy come to exist? Carrying On investigates the origin stories of prevailing prenatal health norms by exploring the evolution of issues at the center of pregnancy, ranging from morning sickness and weight gain to ultrasounds and induction. When did women start taking prenatal vitamins, and why? When did the notion that pregnant women should “eat for two” originate? Where did exercise guidelines come from? And when did women start formulating birth plans? A learning project with one foot in the past and the other in the present, Carrying On considers what history and medicine together can teach us about how and why we treat pregnancy–and pregnant women–the way we do. In a world of information overload, Carrying On offers expecting parents the context and background they need to approach pregnancy and prenatal health from a new place of understanding.Trade Review"Carrying On dives deep into science to clarify all of the open questions around pregnancy. Clair's writing is clear, personal, and relatable....Carrying On is an original concept that is well written, well researched, much needed, and offers indigenous and midwifery perspectives alongside the traditional 'science.'" -- Tina Cassidy * author of Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born *"Pregnancy Weight Gain Guidelines: Where Did They Come From, Anyway?," by Brittany Clair * Pregnant Chicken *"The Truth About the 'Right' Pregnancy Diet," by Brittany Clair * Amara *"This book is part-science, part-history, a dash of memoir, and it lives in the weeds. It’s nine chapters that follow some sort of rough chronological logic, but all stand in relative isolation (i.e., you could jump around, skip a chapter, or read in whatever order suits you) and dive into one key question or topic. For example: How has medicine (not) managed morning sickness over time? When did we start using obstetric ultrasound, and what is it doing for us? When the hell — and why — did prenatal weight gain recommendations gain any traction? What about exercise guidelines?

Rutgers University Press Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New
Book SynopsisGray Love narrates stories about the most common themes – searching for and (perhaps) finding love. Forty-five men and women between ages 60 and 94 from diverse backgrounds talk about dating, starting or ending a relationship, embracing life alone or enjoying a partnered one. The longing for connection as old age encroaches is palpable here, with more and more senior singles searching online. Those who find new partners explore issues that most relationships encounter at any age, as well as some that are unique to elder relationships. These include having had previous partners and a complicated and deep personal history; family and friends’ reactions to an older person’s dating; alternative models to marriage (such as sharing space or living apart); having more than one partner at the same time; one’s aging body, appearance, and sexuality; and the pressure of time and the specter of illness and death.Trade Review"Everything you wanted to know about late-life dating and mating...and then some, from wide-ranging personal accounts." -- Susan Gubar * author of Late-Life Love: A Memoir *"These are fresh, new voices that give dignity, pathos, humor, and warmth to the search for love, or finding love, in the third or fourth quartile of life. This is a book that people of a certain age should read--but also people who will, I hope, reach a certain age--because they should know that love and passion can exist way beyond reproductive years." -- Pepper Schwartz * author of 50 Great Myths of Human Sexuality, andon air-relationship expert, Married at First Sight *"Cupid’s got a lousy sense of humor. We just keep longing for romance and companionship—even in our nineties. Love’s a drive--like thirst and hunger. And this book shows the yearning (and resignation) among older folks with touching delicacy and exquisite sophistication. It’s a treasure." -- Dr. Helen Fisher * Chief Science Advisor to Match.com, author of Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray *"An inspiring collection of personal stories from individuals seeking emotional and physical relationships in their later years. Their honest, insightful, and poignant narratives are a worthwhile addition to age studies." -- Ellyn Lem * author of Gray Matters: Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life *"Stories are written from the perspective of 32 women and 13 men [and] contributors range in age from 59 to their 90s. This is not a how-to-date volume but one exploring different viewpoints for consideration...[C]ompanionship never wanes, even with age." * Library Journal, starred review *"These are fresh, new voices that give dignity, pathos, humor, and warmth to the search for love, or finding love, in the third or fourth quartile of life.

Book SynopsisReflexiones y consejos de una madre de familia numerosa: desde cómo gestionar el orden y la organización en tu casa hasta aprender a educar sin gritos, con creatividad y, sobre todo, con alegría. Muchas madres me preguntáis cómo me organizo con mis ocho hijos si a vosotras os cuesta teniendo menos. Durante mucho tiempo fui un desastre, una madre que se enfadaba, gritaba y no disfrutaba de sus hijos. Un día me pregunté a mí misma: ¿Cómo quieres que te recuerden tus hijos? Y todo cambió. Aprendí a organizarme y a disfrutar de mi familia y mi maternidad. En este libro comparto con vosotros todas las herramientas que me ayudan a conseguirlo en el día a día: cómo mantener una buena relación de pareja que no se vea afectada por la llegada de los hijos, cómo educar a los niños con respecto a internet y la tecnología, mis trucos preparto y postparto, la importancia de la actitud, cómo mantengo el orden y la organización en casa, cómo organizo las comidas y cómo educo a mis hijos para que saquen lo mejor de sí mismos y sean felices. Cuando te conviertes en madre, en el momento que nace tu hijo empiezas a vivir dos vidas: la tuya y la suya. Te vinculas de tal manera que vives por dos, o tres o cuatro, o los hijos que tengas. Es tan fuerte y tan real que es difícil describirlo con palabras.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONReflections and advice from the mom of a big family: from how to manage order and organization in your house to how to raise your kids without yelling, with creativity, and above all, with joy.“Many mothers ask me how I get organized with eight children when it’s hard for them and they have fewer kids. For a long time, I was a disaster, a mother who got angry, yelled, and didn’t enjoy her kids. One day I asked myself: how do you want your children to remember you? And everything changed. I learned to get organized and to enjoy my family and motherhood.In this book, I share with you all the tools that help me in my day-to-day life: how to maintain a good partner relationship that isn’t affected by the arrival of children, how to educate children regarding the Internet and technology, my pre- and post-partum tricks, the importance of attitude, how to maintain organization at home, how I organize meals, and how I raise my children so that they find the best in themselves.When you become a mother, in the moment your children are born, you start to live two lives: yours and theirs. You are linked in such a way that you live for two, or three, or four, or however many you have. It is so strong and so real that it is difficult to put it into words.”
