A must read for all working with children and families!

Theory and Resistance in Education: Towards a Pedagogy for the Opposition Revised and Expanded Edition ...
Henry A. Giroux
Bergin & Garvey Paperback, 2001
At the beginning of the new millennium, educators, parents, and others should reevaluate what it means for adults and young people to grow up in a world that has been radically altered by a hyper capitalism that monopolizes the educational force of culture as it ruthlessly eliminates those public spheres not governed by the logic of the market. ...

Bergin & Garvey Trade, 1983
The most informative peice of literature EVER!!
After my child was born via a very traumatic cesarean I ached to find more info about VBAC than the few statistics online. I read several books about VBAC, each informed me in their own way but I still felt like I wasn't being told the WHOLE story. Loaded with ...

Jayne Schooler

Bergin & Garvey Trade, 2000
Excellent
When starting out on a search for birth parents, particularly with international adoptions where one has no idea of who (or what circumstances) one will find, this is a superb guide. They key point here, something most psychiatrists apparently have yet to learn, is ...

Milk, Money, and Madness: The Culture and Politics of Breastfeeding
M.D., Naomi Baumslag
,
Dia L. Michels
Bergin & Garvey Trade, 1995
I wish this book were out of date and irrelevant!
This definitive history of formula, pharmaceutical companies and infant death is highly readable, despite its depressing topic. While it would be comforting to think that formula fed babies only die at a higher rate than breastfed in places without access to clean ...

Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities: A Guide to the Medical Literature
Henci Goer
Bergin & Garvey Paperback, 1995
Excellent Resource, Tons of Information
I picked this up after reading "The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth" also by Goer. This book is more technical and the less practical of the two for an expecting woman, but still a valuable resource. I find it extremely helpful for when people are critical ...

"Dig Fast Die Young"

a tremendous help
I caught Dr Berman's appearance on the Today show just 4 days after our daughter was born stillborn 4 weeks ago. I gave birth at Yale New Haven Hospital (where Dr Berman practices) so I dont know if it was coincidental that I saw this just as we too were experiencing ...

Nigel Blake
,
Paul Smeyers
, ...
Bergin & Garvey Paperback, 1998
Very Provocative
After reading the first chapter, I was taken in by the sophistication of this work. It is very deep, and the reader should choose a quiet place with pencil and paper in hand. One of the most important goals of this work is to establish that modern philosophers (e.g., ...
