    En su libro, la matrona Ruth Ehrhardt explora de manera sencilla, como sugiere el título, las formas de satisfacer las necesidades básicas de las mujeres durante el trabajo de parto. Se tiene en cuenta el efecto sutil de los factores ambientales y lo que los asistentes al nacimientos deben saber. Basándose en la obra de Michel Odent, se centra claramente en la fisiología del parto, el parto y el posparto. Este libro está dirigido tanto a las madres embarazadas, como a los asistentes al nacimiento, ya sea en calidad de cuidador (médico, matrona o partera, doula) o de pareja.

    Spring Will Come is the third book in the ongoing Bregdan Chronicles historical novel series. It's readers like you who have turned it into a world-wide best-seller. Thank you! Book Description: As her beloved city of Richmond is transformed into a deadly Civil War battlefield, spirited Carrie Cromwell puts her medical skills to work in a Confederate hospital. While she fights to save unknown soldiers, the one she cares about the most is lost to her when Robert disappears in battle. She must also deal with a family secret that has finally come to light.Meanwhile, Rose and Moses have found freedom at last - only to be separated by war. Can Moses, now a Union spy, elude those who are searching for him as a runaway slave, and also help those he thought he would never see again? Rose, inspired by a revolutionary young speaker, becomes a teacher in the contraband camps.The third book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You'll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, free& slave, Southern & Northern - and you'll fall in love with every character.How many books will be in the Bregdan Chronicles? You'll have to ask God about that...I intend to write these character's stories, one year at a time, for as long as I'm able to write. I'm passionate about bringing history to life through historical fiction. Since I'm amazingly healthy, that could be for a very long time! I don't like stories to end any more than you do. This one won't end for a very long time!Review: This review is actually for all six books in the Bregdan Chronicles written by Ginny Dye. I smiled, I cried, I hoped along with everyone. This was a series I was glad to be reading on Kindle because I could easily pull a map, or research one of the locations, or Chimborazo Hospital where Janie and Carrie gave their time. The books are a perfect blend of history, and the representation of what the people of that time may have suffered and lived through. I just finished number 6 and will not comment in case someone hasn't read it. What I will say is "Glimmer of Change"#7 are you ready to be read, or still in process? Thank you for sharing your gift with us.Review: I have finished book 3 and can hardly wait to start book 4! the characters are so real, the historical events are so captivating, the moral values and reality of what happened to our country during the civil war - make for excellent reading. This is historical fiction at its best - a 5 star book!

    So where can we find Dan this time? No surprises, he is down the pub again. But who can blame him? It's been a particularly rough time of late, and The Red Lion sure can be a place of sanctuary when you need to get away from yourself. Well, it would be as long as it actually manages to stay open, and as long as ghosts of the past don't turn up without warning. At least his friends are still there to get a round in and listen to his problems. If only he could find a way to tell them what they are. The prospect of losing your pub and losing your mind are equally frightening for this drinker. If only something could be done about either. And if only relationships were as simple as ordering a pint. Following on from 'Collapse of the Wave', 'Another English Civil War' takes another look at contemporary British life through the prism of the pub and the lives of the people who inhabit them.

    Ivan Yefremov (1908 - 1972) was a Soviet writer and paleontologist. In addition to introducing a new paleontological field taphonomy - the study of fossilization patterns, Yefremov has written a series of novels and short stories, including science fiction, historic fiction, adventure and drama.Yefremov is frequently ridiculed for his enthusiasm and faith in the viability of a communist society, as described in his best known science fiction novel "Andromeda Nebula". What is frequently overlooked is Yefremov's tremendous knowledge of history and profound understanding of psychology. His future society, while highly evolved, is not impervious to mistakes. His future humanity, having learned and discovered much, is not pausing to rest on its laurels - it continues to learn and explore.It is not widely known that his more mature works such as "Hour of the Bull" and "Razor Blade", had the writer blacklisted by the Soviet government, as Yefremov's interpretation of a fair and balanced society deviated sharply from the government propaganda of the time.To Yefremov's fans he is known for his thorough scientific analysis, study of art and history, emphasis on physical and intellectual balance and strong female characters.

    "If only ballerinas knew what vampire blood could do for their dancing."What would you do if an injury ripped your dreams right out from underneath you? And just when you finally accept that you won't have the life you intended, an achingly beautiful vampire offers you exactly what you need-immortality. Only, that vampire is responsible for stealing you away to his manor outside Vienna, and happens to own Vienna's hottest night club. Not only that, he's so frustrating, you're determined to hate him-until you don't. Soon, you discover he's in the middle of a war against some of his own kind (those who refuse to live by the vampire code), and you're the catalyst that sends everything into overdrive. That's Cece's problem. Cece, once a prima ballerina for the National Ballet, is living in Vienna when she's thrown into a seemingly impossible world: vampires are the makings of Rome's famed gladiators, and night-walkers stalk the streets like zombies. Our story begins in the action, as reflections of the past emerge. Cece must make sense of her new surroundings in the only way she can-through her experience with ballet and the hurt it brought her. Anghor Manor is the setting for this tale, filled with vampires, ballet, and an unforgettable romance.

    Entre todos os textos e anotações do Rabi Baruch Shalom Halevi Ashlag (o Rabash), havia um caderno especial que ele sempre carregava. Este caderno continha as transcrições de suas conversas com seu pai, o rabino Yehuda Leib Halevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), autor do comentário Sulam (Escada) sobre O Livro do Zohar e de muitos outros trabalhos sobre Cabalá. Não se sentindo bem na véspera do Ano Novo judaico, em setembro de 1991, Rabash convocou seu aluno principal e assistente pessoal, Michael Laitman, à sua cabeceira e entregou-lhe o caderno. Na capa lia-se apenas uma palavra, Shamati (Eu ouvi)). Quando ele entregou o caderno lhe disse: "Leve -o e aprender com ele. " Na manhã seguinte, ele morreu nos braços de Laitman, deixando-o e muitos de seus outros alunos sem orientação neste mundo. Comprometidos com o legado deixado por Rabash de espalhar a sabedoria da Cabalá, Laitman publicou o caderno exatamente como foi escrito, mantendo assim os poderes de transformação do texto. Entre todos os livros da Cabalá, o Shamati é uma composição original e atraente, cujo poder persiste por muito tempo após o término da leitura. -- O vasto e profundo conhecimento que se pode obter deste livro da Cabala é incomparável.-- Cabala é um livro histórico cujo pensamento judaico investiga as profundezas da energia espiritual.-- Este livro Kabbalah é uma obra-prima entre seus pares. Este livro traz à vida a rica cultura da Cabala para que todos possam entender.-- Utilizar novas perspectivas nos dará a capacidade de usar a Cabala para melhorar a nós mesmos.-- Até muito recentemente, a Cabala era reservada para a elite, aqueles que somente depois de anos de estudos e prática eram autorizados a entrar neste reino místico. Hoje, você pode estudá-lo através desses livros da Cabala.

  • - Fundamentals: Construction and Pattern Making for Fashion Design

    Note that there are different versions of this book available. The paperback published by Createspace has black and white interior images, while the books published by Los Angeles Fashion Resource and Fairbanks publishing contain color images inside the bookPattern Design: Fundamentals is an ideal book for beginners to the field of fashion design as well as self-guided learners. Pattern Design: Fundamentals covers the basics of pattern making, terminology and drafting concepts. This book is different than all other drafting books of its kind. This drafting book combines knowledge of drafting with sewing and construction. Please note that this book does not include "draft-by-measure." Draft-by-measure is an intermediate topic and it is best to understand how to manipulate patterns before trying to draft using personal measurements. This topic will be discussed in the Sloper book.The best way to understand how patterns are drafted is to understand how the drafts are constructed, why certain pattern markings are used and in what order a pattern should be constructed. Understanding the construction, solidifies one's drafting knowledge, connecting the dots of two-dimensional drafting to the three-dimensional finished garment.Pattern Design was developed by designer and educator Jennifer Lynne Matthews-Fairbanks. Fairbanks years of instructing at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising coupled with her years running her own design and sewing studio, make for the ideal combination of teaching to the visual and self-guided learner.Chapters 1 and 2 introduce you to the tools, terms and pattern markings, including fabrics used, grainlines of patterns and the grain of a fabric. You will create a simple pattern with all appropriate markings from an unaltered sloper and learn each part of all slopers used throughout the book.In the first section, "Shape," Pattern Design walks you through manipulating darts with the pivot and slash and spread methods, creating pleats, tucks and gathers. Each chapter details the basics of construction in order to complete each exercise fully and utilizes several different slopers to show how each concept can be translated to different garment types.Section two, "Line," covers style lines (also called seam lines) and combines style lines with design elements from the "Shape" section.The third section, "Details," includes beginner design detail concepts such as pockets, extensions, collars and banding. Pocket exercises include patch pockets, in-seam pockets and inset pockets. Extensions for buttons and placket for blouses are also demonstrated. The banding chapter covers simple waistbands and sleeve cuffs.The forth and final section covers "Finishes." Finishes include facings, zipper insertion and basic hemming.Pattern Design: Fundamentals covers the material that most fashion design students learn in their first year of schooling. The book is an ideal guide for self-learners or for classroom instruction.Pattern Design: Fundamentals is the first book in this pattern making series of books.
