Summary
Examines the Protestant origins of motherhood and the child consumer Throughout history, the responsibility for children's moral well-being has fallen into the laps of mothers. In The Moral Project of Childhood, the noted childhood studies scholar Daniel Thomas Cook illustrates how mothers in the nineteenth-century United States meticulously managed their children's needs and wants, pleasures and pains, through the material world so as to produce the "child" as a moral project. Drawing on a century of religiously-oriented child care advice in women's periodicals, he examines how children ultimately came to be understood by mothers--and later, by commercial actors--as consumers. From concerns about taste, to forms of discipline and punishment, to play and toys, Cook delves into the social politics of motherhood, historical anxieties about childhood, and early children's consumer culture. An engaging read, The Moral Project of Childhood provides a rich cultural history of childhood

Summary
Ann Oakley is a pioneer in the field of sociological research. In this classic re-issue, she interviewed 60 women to find out what it's really like to have a baby. Covering pregnancy, birth and child care, she relies on the stories mothers tell to discuss whether and why women want to become pregnant, how they imagine motherhood to be, the experience of birth, post-natal depression, feeding and caring routines and the challenges for the domestic division of labour and to fathers. She shows that most women are unprepared for the birth or the work of caring for a baby, but also for the joys that a baby can bring. As topical today as the day it was written, this important book was the first to examine first-time motherhood in the words of those experiencing it, and it continues to influence generations of researchers today.

She argues that these discussions turned the physical processes associated with mothering into matters of national importance.

Summary
A RAND study of teamwork-improvement initiatives in hospital labor and delivery (L & D) units was designed to document and learn from the experiences and outcomes of five L & D units as they implemented improvements in their teamwork practices over a one-year period. The study had two objectives: (1) better understand the conditions and actions required for hospital L & D units to achieve effective and sustainable teamwork practices, and (2) assess the extent to which successful adoption of teamwork practices may influence the experiences of L & D staff and patient outcomes. Substantial progress is possible in one year of implementing teamwork practices, which can improve proximal outcomes, such as staff knowledge and perceptions. More than a year of implementation effort is required to achieve a high level of performance on teamwork practices. Two dynamics might be involved in later years of implementation: (1) momentum from the first year might continue into later years, such that subsequent implementation might reinforce continued improvement, and (2) it might not be possible to sustain high intensity in implementation beyond the first year. The study results reinforce the importance of developing and implementing a well-crafted strategy by training staff in the L & D units, working consistently with staff to introduce practices, and providing coaching on effective use of practices. The study identified some key factors required by any given strategy for teamwork improvement, but it did not point to a standard template for implementation. This result implies that there may not be one fixed "intervention" that could be tested in comparative-control studies to develop further evidence for teamwork practices.

Summary
"When a child is conceived from sexual intercourse between a married, heterosexual couple, the child has a legal father and mother. Whatever may happen thereafter, the child's parents are legally bound to provide for their child, and if they don't, they're held accountable by law. But what about children created by artificial insemination? When it comes to paternity, the law is full of gray areas, resulting in many cases where children have no legal fathers. In Papa's Baby, Browne C. Lewis argues that the courts should take steps to insure that all children have at least two legal parents. Additionally, state legislatures should recognize that more than one class of fathers may exist and allocate paternal responsibility based, again, upon the best interest of the child. Lewis supplements her argument with concrete methods for dealing with different types of cases, including anonymous and non-anonymous sperm donors, married and unmarried women, and lesbian couples. In so doing, she first establishes different types of paternity, and then draws on these to create an expanded definition of paternity"--Provided by publisher.
