Book Description
The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Book Description
The death of a child is a special sorrow. No matter the circumstances, a child's death is a life-altering experience. Except for the child who dies suddenly and without forewarning, physicians, nurses, and other medical personnel usually play a central role in the lives of children who die and their families. At best, these professionals will exemplify "medicine with a heart." At worst, families' encounters with the health care system will leave them with enduring painful memories, anger, and regrets. When Children Die examines what we know about the needs of these children and their families, the extent to which such needs areâ€"and are notâ€"being met, and what can be done to provide more competent, compassionate, and consistent care. The book offers recommendations for involving child patients in treatment decisions, communicating with parents, strengthening the organization and delivery of services, developing support programs for bereaved families, improving public and private insurance, training health professionals, and more. It argues that taking these steps will improve the care of children who survive as well as those who do notâ€"and will likewise help all families who suffer with their seriously ill or injured child. Featuring illustrative case histories, the book discusses patterns of childhood death and explores the basic elements of physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical care for children and families experiencing a child's life-threatening illness or injury.

Book Description
Revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide with translations in 29 languages. After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.

Book Description
We are at a crossroads in health care as many of us suffer from hard-to-treat health conditions and multisystem diseases and syndromes that are on the rise. Modern medicine and technology have failed at keeping us healthy and/or improving many conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune disease, depression, allergies, and dementia, to name only a few. We have abandoned the way our bodies are designed to stay healthy. In reality, many orthodox and standard treatments disrupt or bodies normal function and promote these very disorders. The answers to many of your health concerns are literally right in front of you in the way you move, eat, and sleep. Small changes can have a great impact. Five Alive offers these small changes. The goal of Five Alive is to change the standard. We have the knowledge, and you have the power. A single choice each day can make a profound change in your health. Five Alive offers a new approach not previously seen. Simple, safe, scientific, and low-cost actions in each of the three areas of moving, eating, and sleeping. The uniqueness of Five Alive is offered by way of synergy, which the recommended actions, interacting with the others creating a compound effect. Five Alive is not a diet plan or an exercise regime. Five Alive can be incorporated into any health and/or fitness program, diet, and/or lifestyle, and can be used by the very young to the most senior populations. This work has its genesis in the need of those seeking easy-to-follow, safe, and scientific actions to address their concerns about health issues associated with moving, eating, and sleeping/mood. We have taken twenty-eight years of suggestions, twenty-eight years of research, education, and personal experience and have developed a plan we call Five Alive. We have condensed our knowledge and our expertise and have simplified the complex, confusing, and at times contradictory advice regarding moving, eating, and sleeping (diet, exercise, and mind). We liken this book to a finished statue. Initially, a large chunk of marble chiseled away over a long period to reveal a simple, beautiful piece of work. Everyone moves, everyone eats, and everyone sleeps. How well you do each of these will determine how healthy you are.

Book Description
Originally published in 1976, Elizabeth Gittus explores two contemporary social issues which were central to future housing policy in Britain at the time: the implications, for families with young children, of both the increased use of flats in new local authority housing, and the sporadic expansion of nursery education and other services for the under-fives. Discussion of these general issues is referred to the findings of a survey of families occupying local authority flats, maisonettes and houses, in four selected areas around Newcastle, centring on the mothers’ reactions to their housing situation and its effects on their children. The author documents the issues that had contributed to the pattern of new public housing from 1960 to the general election of 1974. Significant published data from a variety of sources are analysed at national, regional and local levels. The author’s findings support the contention that, for some young families, flat life remains unavoidable, and she examines the problem of providing opportunities for young children to play in such surroundings within the wider context of nursery education and other facilities for the pre-school child. She strongly advocates the fusion of official provision, voluntary effort, and parents’ participation in meeting the need for supervised play in the children’s free time.
