Alba Padró, desde su experiencia como madre y consultora internacional de lactancia, te ofrece en esta nueva edición actualizada más claves para conseguir que la lactancia sea un acto placentero para ti y tu bebé. La maternidad es una etapa desconocida, llena de mitos y miedos, si eres madreprimeriza. Y si quieres amamantar a tu bebé, debes saber que se puede aprender a dar el pecho, que no es un acto instintivo. Disponer de información y apoyo es vital para poder decidir sobre cada aspecto de la lactancia. Somos la leche responde a las preguntas más frecuentes que se puede hacer una madre primeriza: - ¿Cómo me preparo para la lactancia? - ¿Qué pasa si mi bebé no se agarra bien o no gana peso? - ¿Hasta cuándo debo dar el pecho y para cuándo se recomienda el destete? - ¿Cómo compatibilizo la lactancia materna con la vuelta al trabajo? - ¿Qué cacharros necesito realmente para dar de mamar? En esta nueva actualización, la asesora y consultora internacional te ofrece las preguntas y respuestas que le han formulado mamás de todo el mundo sobre las complicaciones que pueden surgir durante la lactancia, la donación de leche materna y los grupos de apoyo, cómo inmunizarse ante las críticas del entorno o cómo superar el duelo y la culpabilidad que se siente con el destete o cuando no se puede amamantar con leche materna. Alba Padró es clara en este punto: lo más importante es que la mamá y el bebé se sientan bien. Reseñas: «En algo más de 200 páginas, maquetadas con una sencillez y un gusto exquisitos, Alba ha recopilado toda la información, actualizada y en base a la evidencia científica, que una mujer que quiere dar el pecho pueda necesitar. Ofrece recursos, soluciones a dificultades, tumba viejos y falsos mitos ("101, pero estoy segura de que circula alguno más") y se adelanta a través de situaciones reales a vivencias que podemos experimentar en nuestra propia maternidad.» Diana Oliver en El País «Somos la leche está escrito desde la perspectiva de una persona que, además de saber muchísimo, ha amamantado y lleva años acompañando a cientos de madres en sus lactancias.» Mama contra corriente «Es un libro pensado para acompañar a las madres en todas las etapas de la lactancia: desde los primeros meses, como los sentimientos que nos asaltan (tristezas, culpas, dudas...), las lactancias diferentes (prematuros, gemelos...) y la etapa del destete, esa gran desconocida y que puede tener muchos matices.» Vanesa Piñeiro en Una madre como tú «Somos la leche nos explica de forma clara y detallada cuestiones como por qué no hay que preparar los pechos para la lactancia, ni usar cremas específicas, ni invertir en 1.001 inventos de los que podemos prescindir.» Planeando ser padres

Twilight of the Avant-Garde addresses the central problem of contemporary Spanish poetry: the attempt to preserve the scope and ambition of modernist poetry at the end of the twentieth century. Offering a critical analysis of Luis Garcìa Montero’s “poetry of experience,” and the work of José Angel Valente and Antonio Gamoneda, among others, Mayhew challenges received notions about the value of poetic language in relation to the society and culture at large. Ultimately championing the survival of more challenging and ambitious modes of poetic writing in the postmodern age, this volume argues that the cultural ambition of modernist poetics remains alive and well in our age of cynicism.

King, warrior, and lover Brian Boru was stronger, braver, and wiser than all other men-the greatest king Ireland has ever known. Out of the mists of the country's most violent age, he merged to lead his people to the peak of their golden era. His women were as remarkable as his adventures: Fiona, the druidess with mystical powers; Deirdre, beautiful victim of a Norse invader's brutal lust; Gormlaith, six-foot, read-haired goddess of sensuality. Set against the barbaric splendors of the tenth century, Lion of Ireland is a story rich in truth and legend-in which friends become deadly enemies, bedrooms turn into battlefields, and dreams of glory are finally fulfilled. Morgan Llywelyn has written one of the greatest novels of Irish history. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"A penetrating analysis of political extremism, with a moving and at times hilarious account of growing up in one of the Christian right's most influential families. Few writers command Frank Schaeffer's intimate understanding of right-wing radicalism, and even fewer are able to share their insight as entertainingly and with as much moral weight as he has in Sex, Mom, and God."--Max Blumenthal, author of Republican Gomorrah "Mom was a much nicer person than her God. There are many biblical regulations about everything from beard-trimming to menstruating. Mom worked diligently to recast her personal-hygiene-obsessed God in the best light." Alternating between laugh-out-loud scenes from his childhood and acidic ruminations on the present state of an America he and his famous fundamentalist parents helped create, bestselling author Frank Schaeffer asks what the Glenn Becks and the Rush Limbaughs and the paranoid fantasies of the "right-wing echo chamber" are really all about. Here's a hint: sex. The unforgettable central character in Sex, Mom, and God is the author's far-from-prudish evangelical mother, Edith, who sweetly but bizarrely provides startling juxtapositions of the religious and the sensual thoughout Schaeffer's childhood. She was, says Frank Schaeffer, "the greatest illustration of the Divine beauty of Paradox I've encountered . . . a fundamentalist living a double life as a lover of beauty who broke all her own judgmental rules in favor of creativity." Charlotte Gordon, the award-winning author of Mistress Bradstreet, calls Sex, Mom, and God "a tour de force . . . Sarah Palin, 'The Family,' Anne Hutchinson, adultery, abortion, homophobia, Uganda, Ronald Reagan, B. B. King, Billy Graham, Hugh Hefner -- it's all here. This is the kind of book I did not want to end."

A raw, funny, and fiercely honest account of becoming a mother before feeling like a grown up. When Meaghan O'Connell got accidentally pregnant in her twenties and decided to keep the baby, she realized that the book she needed -- a brutally honest, agenda-free reckoning with the emotional and existential impact of motherhood -- didn't exist. So she decided to write it herself. And Now We Have Everything is O'Connell's exploration of the cataclysmic, impossible-to-prepare-for experience of becoming a mother. With her dark humor and hair-trigger B.S. detector, O'Connell addresses the pervasive imposter syndrome that comes with unplanned pregnancy, the fantasies of a "natural" birth experience that erode maternal self-esteem, post-partum body and sex issues, and the fascinating strangeness of stepping into a new, not-yet-comfortable identity. Channeling fears and anxieties that are still taboo and often unspoken, And Now We Have Everything is an unflinchingly frank, funny, and visceral motherhood story for our times, about having a baby and staying, for better or worse, exactly yourself. Smart, funny, and true in all the best ways, this book made me ache with recognition." -- Cheryl Strayed
