UPCOMING: THE VISIONS OF ARTHUR C. CLARKE

The convergence of science fiction with reality obsessed one of the 20th century’s most influential writers, whose writings on science fact and possibility gave him a prophetic place among those who have imagined the human future. In this challenging volume, scholars around the world use Clarke's ideas as a window on our tomorrow among the stars. Includes commentary by Sir Arthur published here for the first time in book form.

COMING SOON: THE AGE OF TELECOMMUNITY

Prior to the pandemic, computerized telecommunications began altering workplaces. As distance work evolved, it became clear that telework wasn’t just an option to let employees work at home periodically: a bigger change was under way. The Coronavirus confirmed this dramatically. In this volume, an international panel of academics discusses what comes next.

The US has failed pregnant women for years, resulting in the needless deaths of thousands of babies. This information is part of the message of New York pregnancy care professor Dr. Alexander Kofinas, in his new book, THE WORKING WOMB.

Dr. Kofinas holds the medical establishment to account for “shrugging off” America’s high rate of miscarriage, which he attributes to “placenta science illiteracy” among health insurers and doctors. And he urges women to lobby for a Placenta Bill of Rights guaranteeing adequate placenta care.

American women, he reports, are receiving pregnancy care based on obsolete placenta science, including a trimester concept that divides pregnancy into three stages, of which the first — a crucial phase for healthy placenta development— is generally neglected.

“This has disastrous consequences for women and their babies,” he argues. “Of all human embryos conceived in the US, 65% don’t survive past four weeks. Of those that do, one in four miscarry. The medical establishment shrugs off these shocking numbers, apparently finding them acceptable, just as it avoids publicizing the fact that every year more American women die of cardiovascular disease than from cancer, accidents, Alzheimer’s and respiratory diseases combined. What all these illnesses have in common is the placenta. But the medical establishment is to a large degree placenta-science illiterate.”

THE WORKING WOMB is filled with practical details that will arm you to:

1. ANTICIPATE pregnancy obstacles with foreknowledge

2. MINIMIZE the chances of their worsening

3. CORRECT them in good time BEFORE they get big enough to threaten your pregnancy with disaster!

The information in this book can replace high-risk
pregnancy stress with a new, hopeful, science based understanding of:

WHY pregnancies fail ...

HOW to avoid problems that arise from ignorance of the placenta's needs ...

WHAT can be done when things go wrong!
