Book SynopsisThis unique first book shows, through pictures and step-by-step instructions, how to give a baby or small child a full craniosacral treatment. The authors approach babies as conscious beings who endure enormous stress during the birth process. They show how CS therapy can help restore the correct alignments in babies'' bodies, freeing them to grow and attain their maximum potential without hindrance. The book focuses on what a trained CS therapist can do to remove the blockages that often arise during birth. It addresses both hands-on techniques and awareness of how to interact with a baby and what responses and effects to expect. Based on the authors’ extensive experience, this guide can also be used by parents or caregivers interested in knowing what babies need in order to be whole and healthy, and how to prevent problems — including hyperactivity and ADD — that could become serious and require medication later in life.

Book SynopsisSunshine plays an important role in all aspects of life but there has been little social analysis of the sun and its place in our world. Recently experts have warned us that the sun's rays are dangerous. Yet, a suntan can still be taken as a sign of health. How did we arrive at this ambivalent relationship to the sun and what does this say about our changing attitudes to the human body and environment? Rise and Shine takes as its starting point a view of sunlight as part of our material and social culture. How did the use of sunlight to treat tuberculosis and rickets in the early twentieth century alter our relationship with the sun? When was suntan lotion invented? By drawing on a range of archival and historical sources, Rise and Shine traces the network of social and medical forces that constitute our current, sometimes problematic, relationship with sun and sunlight.Trade Review'In this path-breaking book, Simon Carter develops a subtle and complex analysis of historical roles that sunlight has played in the mediation of such notions as health, pleasure, the body, race and class. Rise and Shine is a unique contribution to the contemporary rethinking of the 'human'. 'Mike Michael, Goldsmith College, London'As Simon Carter shows in his fascinating social and scientific history, 'the idea of intentionally exposing one's body to the ray's of the sun' is a recent phenomenon.'PDS'An understanding of the major themes addressed in this book could contribute to the ways in which psychologists promote a healthy relationship with the sun among the populations that they study.'Anne Moyer & Sarah K. Knapp'An attractive and well-written book, offering well-organized if brief summaries of interesting aspects of this history.'Medical History, Jul 2008 (52.3)Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Beyond the Pale: Sun, Danger and Delight Chapter 3: The Move to the Great Outdoors: Camping, Campers and the 'Worthy Sun Tan' Chapter 4: Sunshine, Hygiene and the Sun Cure - Part 1: Rickets, Sunlight and Actinotherapy Chapter 5: Sunshine, Hygiene and the Sun Cure - Part 2: Tuberculosis and Heliotherapy Chapter 6: Heliosis Part 1: Leagues of Sunshine Chapter 7: Heliosis Part 2: Building Worlds of Sunlight Chapter 8: Coda: Pleasure, Sunlight and the Socio-Sensual Environment
