Strategic Leadership in Digital Evidence

Without the love and support of my family, Jacquie, Isabell and Irena, this book would not have been possible. Not only the support for the duration of the writing process but also for their support in the many years prior that allowed me to take advantage of the many opportunities that were put in my path. From humble beginnings as a bench analytical chemist in a small, multidisciplinary l…

A Culture of Coruption

IT IS EASY TO FEEL ambivalent about Nigeria. In my experience, the people are outgoing, warm, and welcoming. They exude confidence and pride. For scholars and other friends of Africa who sometimes feel compelled to combat misguided stereotypes that the continent and its people are helpless and hopeless, nothing could serve as a stronger counter than witnessing ambitious, vibrant, and entre…

A Social History of Maternity and Childbirth

Any book written says as much about the author as it does about its subject, and this volume is a prime example. I came to the topic both as an historian and a midwife, in that order. In the early 1990s I took a degree in history, focusing on the social and economic history of early twentieth-century Britain, followed by a master’s degree in English Local History and a dissertation that …

A critical history of maternity care

In all industrialized countries, the last fifty years have seen both a momentous improvement in the safety of childbirth and the completion of a momentous revolution in maternity care, with the philosophy and methods of the obstetric profession triumphant. This book tells the story of how these changes came about. It is a story urgently in need of telling, for the subject is one about wh…

Nutrition and Lifestyle for Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Over the last few years there has been exciting progress in our understanding of what creates a healthy start to life. We now know that many aspects of embry- onic, fetal, and infant development are affected by somewhat subtle aspects of parental health and behaviour. In this way, health—or conversely the risk of disease—is passed from one generation to the next, via processes opera…

THE DEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE OF ADOLESCENCE

The scientific study of adolescent development has burgeoned across the past four decades. Despite this growth, current scholarship does not address all the needs of the scholars, practitioners, or policy makers seeking to describe, explain, and optimize the course of the development of adolescents. We believe that present and subsequent cohorts of scholars will need to understand more a…

Telepediatrics: Telemedicine and Child Health

Most healthcare professionals would find it inconceivable to think of life without the telephone as part of their day-to-day work. Our ubiquitous pagers and mobile phones have also become intimate attachments in recent decades. We rarely give them a second thought as we grab them each morning, although the urgency with which they demand our attention earns the occasional unprintable words! …

Photomedicine in Gynecology and Reproduction

Photomedicine – now at the end of the 20th century a promising new tool in medicine – was already known in antiquity. Research on photosensitizers, especially psoralens, started in Egypt, where the active ingredients were isolated from plants and soon commercialized for treatment of vitiligo. The modern history of photomedicine started in this century, when Raab discovered in 1901 that…
