PARIR EN LIBERTAD (EBOOK)
by Raquel SchallmanEl nacimiento de un hijo responde a una profunda necesidad vital. Y el parto es un hecho absolutamente genital y sexual. Por lo tanto, el parto no es meramente una situación médica, de enfermedad y riesgo, sino que tiene que ver con la vida, el placer, la alegría, la esperanza y las emociones intensas. Si cada uno se animara a preguntarse cómo quiero tener a mi hijo?, dónde?, de qué manera?, cada cual buscaría lo que necesita, tomaría el dolor y el temor, que sí existen #y que tienen su razón de ser#, y aprendería a utilizarlos para favorecer el proceso. Y así encontrar estrategias mucho más prácticas, cotidianas, simples y cercanas que una anestesia peridural, que, como bien dice el nombre, #anestesia# y no sólo el dolor, sino también el placer. El que se asusta tanto del dolor se asusta tanto del placer? Entonces, algunas mujeres descubren que la posibilidad de elección es infinitamente más amplia de lo que se habían imaginado. Se puede tener al bebé en casa, con un alto grado de seguridad, con todo un equipo obstétrico, o mejor aún, con un pequeño equipo obstétrico. O bien sentirse seguras en el interior de una institución, pero después de haber acordado qué es lo más importante para ellas. No hay sólo un tipo de parto. No es necesario que todas las parturientas sean tratadas como enfermas. Cada una es el centro de esta situación. Los que estamos alrededor, profesionales de la obstetricia, debemos tener un solo objetivo: acompañarlas y cuidarlas y, fundamentalmente, respetarlas en sus deseos y decisiones, siempre que éstos no las dañen. Las mujeres deben animarse a recobrar este espacio propio, tal vez el más importante y trascendente de la vida, eligiendo parir en libertad.

Pablo and Birdy
by Alison Mcghee Ana JuanA boy who drifted into the seaside town of Isla as a baby searches for answers about where he and his parrot came from in this charmer of a tale laced with magical realism from New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee.The seaside town of Isla has many stories, the most notable being the legend of the Seafaring Parrot. Locals claim that the Seafarer remembers every sound, every whisper, cry, laugh, or snort ever uttered. But, though there have been rumored Seafarer sightings, no one has actually seen the bird before. Other stories surround a boy named Pablo, who had washed up on shore in a blow-up swimming pool as an infant with only a lavender parrot as a companion. Now, on the eve of his tenth birthday, the stories are repeated. “At first I thought it was a huge fish,” Emmanuel, the man who found and took Pablo in, says. Pierre, the baker’s guess was a good one: Perhaps Pablo has come from an undiscovered country, one unknown to the rest of the world. Maybe the inhabitants there lived in tree houses, or underground. Or maybe he’s a pirate baby. But Pablo wants the truth, and the only one who might know it is Birdy, his parrot. After all, she was there, holding onto the raft. But unlike most birds who live in Isla, Birdy can neither talk or fly. Or, at least, she never has. Until…one day, when strong winds begin to blow—winds similar to the ones that brought Pablo to shore—Birdy begins to mutter. Could Birdy be a Seafaring parrot? If she is, then she will be able to tell Pablo the true story of where he came from—of who tied him so lovingly and safely to that raft? But, if she is, that also means the second part of the Seafarer myth is true…that Seafaring Parrots will, eventually, fly away. As Pablo is buzzing with questions, hopes, and fears, an old saying echoes in his mind: winds of change mean fortune lost or fortune gained. And while the winds rise in Isla, Pablo holds tight to Birdy. Would losing his companion, his dearest link to his past, be that loss?

Pacific Power & Light: Poems
by Michael DickmanThe award-winning poet returns to his homeplace in the Pacific Northwest, where the neighborhood simmers with the chemical presence of human trouble and sparks of beauty coexist with danger.This image-driven, sound-driven collection carries us to the working-class Portland neighborhood of Lents, where Dickman was raised by a single mother. Here, as a skateboarding boy practices his kickflip on the street, enlightenment simmers under the surface of both the natural world and the human constructions that threaten it. The rivers shrinking to a trickle, the unaddressed crisis of homelessness, the drug use in a local park: these run side by side with the efforts and structures of families, created mostly by working mothers, with their jumbled bottomless purses and full-time jobs; Dickman&’s own mother worked at the power company of the title, PP&L. His exquisite, ultrareal narratives take us down through these layers, illuminating the way we&’ve treated and should treat one another, seeking integrity and understanding in the midst of a broken world.
Pacify Me
by Chris ManciniYou're having a baby. That's it. Game over, man. Life as you know it is done. Go ahead, freak out. Comic Chris Mancini was terrified of his impending fatherhood. But soon after throwing up upon seeing the little blue line, he realized that most expectant dads sometimes feel nervous, depressed, or powerless -- like a new baby is guy-kryptonite. Chris has been there and survived it. He'll talk you off the ledge. Naturally, you have plenty of questions: How many diapers will I really have to change? Will I ever have sex again? When should I mention that new 50-inch LCD television I want? Is it okay to play Grand Theft Auto while I hold my kid? Aren't there robots that can do most of this stuff by now? From fearing the ovulation kit, to leaving your child with a complete stranger when you go back to work, to the best and worst parts of being a parent, to wondering if Dr. Spock really is like Mr. Spock, Pacify Me is full of honest, hilarious, and insightful advice for new dads. Like, if you screw up a little the first time you're alone with the baby, it's not as if she's going to tattle. And babies love the mall. The truth is, the anxiety leading up to your child's birth is way worse than the anxiety of actually having a child. Soon you'll discover that the joy of experiencing life through innocent new eyes more than makes up for having to send your inner teenager to bed before midnight, unless there's something cool on Adult Swim.
