An engaging history of motherhood, demography, and infertility in twentieth-century France, this book explores fraught political and cultural meanings attached to the notion of an "ideal" family size. When statistics revealed a sustained drop in France's birthrate, pronatalist activists pushed for financial benefits, propaganda, and punitive measures to counter declining fertility. Situating infertility within this history, the author details innovations in fertility medicine, cultural awareness of artificial insemination, and changing laws on child adoption. These practices offered new ways of responding to infertility and formed part of a growing expectation of being able to control one's fertility and family size. This book presents the political and cultural context for understanding why private questions about when to start a family, how many children to have, and how to cope with involuntary childlessness, evolved and became part of state demographic policies.
Correcting Feet without the Use of Insoles Pronating flat feet and supinating arched feet are no longer inevitable as we once believed: They are essentially the result of “incorrect posture” and can be rectified. This book shines a new light on the way feet work and takes us past the commonly accepted and erroneous idea that the foot is a block and that pronating or supinating feet can only be corrected by wearing corrective insoles or shoes. On the contrary, the foot’s shape can change instantaneously; it can arch, flatten out, become long or even shorten thanks to its articulating joint space and the heel that can move several centimetres sideways, independent of the supporting forefoot. A correctly functioning foot assures a proper junction with the ground and optimises taking a step. It also helps maintain the ankle and is instrumental in preventing sprains. Moreover, it increases recovery in case of losing one’s balance and enables one to develop more dynamic support. The new edition of this book refines testing and corrective protocols from the previous edition, which is now out-of-print, includes new information and develops elements from the presently unavailable Competitive Running book, specifically related to the biomechanics of the foot. The goal of this book is therefore to provide a means to: — View the way the foot functions in a new light, in order to regain control; — Correct pronating and supinating feet without insoles or special shoes; — Stabilise the ankle and step-taking, and thereby prevent sprains; — Develop the foot’s flexibility; — Reinforce the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot; — Develop the dynamics of correctly functioning feet; — Understand the interest of going barefoot to help the feet develop foot muscles and maintain flexibility; — Understand the foot in order to better choose shoes; — Produce and maintain more efficient and correct support and step-taking both daily, and when playing sports.
