The spread of the AIDS virus has introduced a new element into the formula-versus-breastfeeding controversy. Mothers, particularly those in developing nations, have been urged to breastfeed in order to better nourish their infants and protect them from disease or contaminants in the water used to prepare formula. Now, however, mothers and healthcare workers must consider the danger of transmitting AIDS via breastfeeding. When HIV-infected women nurse their children, they significantly increase the risk of transmitting the virus. The issue is further complicated in countries where the alternatives are not very promising and in cultures that stigmatize women for even undergoing AIDS testing. This informative analysis includes the development of research into HIV and breastfeeding, the medical and political questions surrounding the controversy, and options and solutions for women to consider in feeding their infants. Fully indexed, this book is an important contribution to the social and medical studies of one of the most tragic facets of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Are you tired of finding towels on the bathroom floor? Have you ever walked through a supermarket with a thirty-five-year-old child who wants only the most expensive things on the shelves? How do you go about making men understand the difference between helping out with the housework and doing it? And what about violence? 'Help! Im Living with a Man Boy' has forty-one practical scenarios that many women will identify with immediately plus suggestions for dealing with these situations. This book is about relationships. Its overall aim is to encourage women and men to look more honestly at the way they relate to each other, and to strive for a personal maturity that will allow each of them to enter into the give and take that constitutes relationships based on genuine love, respect and equality. The focus is on mens emotional maturity and the harmful and destructive behaviour which usually accompanies such immaturity. Betty McLellan is careful to point out, that this does not describe all men. Some men have achieved maturity and are contributing in a mature way to their relationships. Others, she admits have a long way to go.

Klappentext: Sexualitätsdarstellungen, zumal pornographische, fallen bei Frauen schnell unter Zensur und Selbstzensur. Trotz derartiger gerade in der Frauenbewegung verbreiteter Vorbehalte untersuchen Hofstadter/Körbitz, wie filmische Szenarien von Sexualitätsdarstellungen in der modernen Version des Video-Heimkinos auf Frauen wirken. Entstanden ist ein differenziertes Buch, in dem Frauen über ihre erotischen Phantasien und sexuellen Wünsche nachdenken und ihr Verhältnis zu Pornographie jenseits von Verboten und (Selbst-) Zensur klären. In anschaulicher Darstellung kann der Prozess der Auseinandersetzung von Frauen mit Pornographie in seinem bewussten und unbewussten Dimensionen nachvollzogen werden.

This is a resource book for teachers of adult second language classes which combines basic information about teaching such classes with classroom community building techniques and thematically organized classroom activities. It should appeal to new and experienced teachers, teacher trainers, programme administrators, volunteer agencies and libraries. The activities, growing out of the authors own teaching experience, are designed to meet the real needs and interests of adult L2 learners. Furthermore, because adult language teachers often have little space and few resources, the activities require a minimum of space, equipment and copying, and use easily available material. The section on community building is especially important for teachers in adult programmes with open entry policies and irregular attendance.

There are a number of practical steps you can take to study more effectively. At degree level luck is only a very small factor in success, as failure can happen in two particular ways: misjudging requirements or not wanting to study at all. This book is about helping you to avoid the first kind of failure by making better judgements regarding what, how and why you study. More than just a basic study skills book, it blends practical ideas with sound principles, including many examples drawn from interviews with students and lecturers. The author deals with essay writing, preparing and writing a dissertation, making the best use of seminars and reading, as well as with higher level questioning techniques, data analysis and research topics.
