 | Fertility Patterns of Native- And Foreign-Born Women: Assimilating to Diversity - Ann I., Glusker 10 Digit ISBN: 1931202583 13 Digit ISBN: 9781931202589 | | Glusker considers how and why fertility patterns change with immigration. In so doing she considers not only immigrants, but also US minority groups. Using Current Population Survey data Glusker addresses the complex of factors: duration of stay, generational status, nativity, and race/ethnicity. She finds that race and ethnicity affect the fertility of native-born women, independent of their socioeconomic status. This is not the case for foreign-born women. Race and ethnicity may be the central concerns as we consider future immigrant assimilation. The issue is not the fertility of immigrants per se, but of the US minorities that certain immigrant groups will join. |
 | Fertility Problems: A Simple Guide - Ruth, Chambers 10 Digit ISBN: 185775302X 13 Digit ISBN: 9781857753028 | | One in seven couples experience problems in conceiving, and this book provides information about fertility investigations, treatments, management and dilemmas. This overview of the management of couples with fertility problems is a straightforward account of best practice in the UK today. Fertility treatments have many ethical implications and the book explains the challenges we face following new developments in assisted reproduction, cloning, surrogacy and rationing. Fertility Problems helps GPs and their teams undertake as much management as possible in primary care, and enables them to understand and explain the issues to infertile patients. The book is also useful for patients themselves. Junior doctors, nurses, counsellors and members of ethics committees will find it a valuable introduction and overview. Much of the material is based on the guidelines for clinical management produced by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The author is a general practitioner and former member of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. |
 | Fertility Technology: The Baby Debate - Kara, Williams 10 Digit ISBN: 0823937623 13 Digit ISBN: 9780823937622 | | This Important Eight-Book Series Focuses on the Most Pressing Ethical Issues Facing Society Today This up-to-date series focuses on the key ethical issues raised by groundbreaking scientific and technological advancements in today's society. Examining the importance, relevance, and morality of issues that fill our headlines, this series presents the basic scientific and technological terms, concepts, theories, and research behind these debates. Each of these books emphasizes the need for ethical and responsible science, and looks at the balance that must be struck between the competing interests of science and society. Through the progress of medical science, today's infertile couples have many options for helping them conceive. However, many of these methods are controversial. Issues such as multiple births due to fertility drugs and the rights of surrogate parents raise important ethical and legal questions. In this book, readers will come to understand the complex world of fertility technology and will consider all of its implications. |

With these words, Kenneth Boulding captured one of the great truths of the modern world. In Fertilizers, Pills, and Magnetic Strips, Gene V Glass analyzes how a few key technological inventions changed culture in America and how public education has changed as a result. Driving these changes are material self-interest and the desire for comfort and security, both of which have transformed American culture into a hyper-consuming, xenophobic society that is systematically degrading public education. Glass shows how the central education policy debates at the start of the 21st century (vouchers, charter schools, tax credits, high-stakes testing, bilingual education) are actually about two underlying issues: how can the costs of public education be cut, and how can the education of the White middle-class be "quasi-privatized" at public expense? Working from the demographic realities of the past thirty years, he projects a challenging and disturbing future for public education in America. Fertilizers, Pills, and Magnetic Strips is attracting the attention of the nation's foremost education scholars. Reviews: "This is the first credible book of the 21st century to anticipate the future of public education." David C. Berliner ."a wake up call to America about the disastrous consequences of current policies that shortchange the education of the coming majorityLatinos and other 'minority' studentson whom the very future of the nation rests." Patricia Gndara "The book makes such impressive sense that one has to believe that its clarity, command of the facts, eye for absurdity, and concern for justice will garner greater support for public education asa common and noble cause." John Willinsky "This is the most original book about education in years." Ernest R. House |

IN TH3E tlNrXTHEOO STATES OF A TV ERICA FOREWORD To THE WORLD of Today and the World of Tomorrow, worlds alike benefited and enriched by the life of Reginald A. Fessenden, I give the man himself. That the mind which conceived the correct theory of wireless transmission, which invented the Wireless Telephone and with it accomplished the first Broadcasting, which invented and developed the Fathometer and all it implied, that this mind failed to de fend itself against commercial assault, whether financial or scientific, is an inescapable fact. For this fact I make no apology. Mine is the setting forth of factual data, an indica tion of trends, not the indictment of any man or group of men. Without a straightforward account of certain legal encounters, the life of my husband would be but partly told. The outcome of these encounters is a matter of court record which he who runs may read. It is however not by court decisions but by his work that the man will be remembered. HELEN M. FESSENDEN It is a pet idea of mine that one gets more real truth out o one avowed partisan than out of a dozen of your sham impartialists wolves in sheeps clothing simpering honesty as they suppress documents. After all, what one wants to know is not what people did, but why they did it or rather why they thought they did it and to learn that you should go to the men themselves, their very falsehood is often more than another mans truth LETTERS OF ROBERT LouisSTEVENSON.

 | Festivalized: Music, Politics & Alternative Culture - Ian , Abrahams 10 Digit ISBN: 094671908X 13 Digit ISBN: 9780946719082 | | Festivalized is a far-reaching investigation into the politics and music of the free festival scene of the early 1970s to the rave culture of the late 1990s. It documents the festival's rise out of the ashes of the Stonehenge Free Festival, its characters, its events, its bands, its music--and its eventual decline and fall. Told by those who were there, Festivalized is about people, and about a lifestyle outside of the mainstream--from the wild and wonderful, through the weird and wacky, and on to the vile and violent--as the UK government decided they could no longer tolerate an alternative society, and sent in the police . . . |

 | Festive Drama: Papers from the Sixth Triennial Colloquium of the International Society for the Study of Medieval Theatre, Lancaster, - Richard, Rastall 10 Digit ISBN: 0859914968 13 Digit ISBN: 9780859914963 | | Festive drama, in these studies, includes processions and folk-customs as well as full-blown plays, from Spain, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Britain, Denmark, and Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). The main focus is the middle ages, but style and approach are as relevant as time-scale, reflecting a culture in which there are no firm divisions between drama and pageantry and traditional ceremonies. Common themes emerge: the world turned upside-down of Shrovetide; the emotive power of religious celebration; and the links between commerce and the demonstration of civic pride. Festive customs are viewed as hidden agendas of popular culture, and performances are reconstructed. This is the obverse of art and power: the means by which the people, not the princes, rule the world.Professor MEG TWYCROSS teaches at the Department of English at Lancaster University.

 | Festive Revolutions: The Politics of Popular Theater and the San Francisco Mime Troupe - Claudia , Orenstein 10 Digit ISBN: 1578060796 13 Digit ISBN: 9781578060795 | | Are traditions of popular theatre still alive in politically-engaged theatre to-day? In San Francisco they are. The San Francisco Mime Troupe is a modern link in the long history of public performances that have a merry air but have a voice of political protest and social comment. Every summer since 1962 the Troupe has taken free outdoor performances to public parks in the Bay Area. In a style that is festive and a spirit that is revolutionary the Mime Troupe has relied on popular theatre forms to address timely political and social issues. Their productions maintain a contemporary political edge, while showing their origins to be the popular traditions of the commedia dell'arte, circus clowning, vaudeville, puppetry, and minstrel shows. With "The Minstrel Show" or "Civil Rights in a Cracker Barrel" (1965) they expressed support of the civil rights movement. With L'Amant Militaire (1967) they voiced support of Vietnam War protests. To discover what makes these apparently frivolous theatrical traditions effective for contemporary political theatre, "Festive Revolutions" explores the historical origins of the popular forms the Mime Troupe draws on. In old Europe, where performance traditions began, political turmoil blended with festive celebration. The lineage of the Mime Troupe's Punch the Red can be traced back to the Italian puppet figure Pulcinella through its English and Russian counterparts Punch and Petrushka. In the Mime Troupe the use of stereotypes and reliance upon colorful festivity are diverse strategies for dodging censorship. Productions like "Ripped Van Winkle" continue today to rekindle the radicalism the Troupe inherited from the culture of the 1960s. "Festive Revolutions" shows that such forms have inspired political theatre for centuries. Claudia Orenstein is an assistant professor of theatre at Barnard College. "Festive Revolutions "is her first book. |

 | Fetal Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Practice - Charles H. , Rodeck 10 Digit ISBN: 0443104085 13 Digit ISBN: 9780443104084 | | With a foreword by John T. Queenan, MD, Professor and Chair Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington. Fetal medicine has emerged as a separate subspecialty over the last 30 years as a result of major advances in a number of areas, in particular ultrasound imaging, cytogenetics, molecular biology and biochemistry. The widespread use of antenatal screening and diagnostic tests has led to an increased need for obstetricians to have knowledge and skills in fetal medicine. This book provides the information that underpins training programmes in fetal medicine and integrates science and clinical disciplines in a practical and useful way. |
 | Fetal Nutrition and Adult Disease: Programming of Chronic Disease Through Fetal Exposure to Undernutrition - S. C., Langley-Evans 10 Digit ISBN: 0851998216 13 Digit ISBN: 9780851998213 | | Over the last decade, epidemiological studies have suggested that risk of coronary heart disease, stroke mortality and hypertension is, in part, related to the environment encountered during fetal life. In particular, maternal undernutrition during pregnancy has been highlighted as a causal factor in the long-term programming of disease risk.

When the member of a notorious street gang is found decapitated and dismembered at the bottom of the LA River, it quickly becomes apparent something is amiss. Detective Daryl Garcia connects it with the murders of six other gang members killed the same way. It looks like the work of a serial killer, but the gang members don't think so. They believe the murders are the work of rival gang members. Someone has a dark desire of the most depraved fetish . . . Detective Garcia becomes determined to find the killer at any cost. Together with Rachael Pearce, a journalist he falls in love with, he searches for the killer through the gang underground and the world of prostitution and drugs. And as suspect after suspect is released with no solid evidence to connect them to the crimes, the search for the killer becomes more urgent as the gang infested areas of the city reach a boiling point to the brink of rioting. In a community of gang members-who are killers themselves-how does Detective Garcia find the most monstrous killer he has ever encountered? Madness wears many faces . . . |
