        Twin Stars and a Mother from Mars

        Heartache and joy in an IVF world

        by Tru Spencer

        In the beginning, there were two. Somewhere in the middle, she felt like she was the only one on the planet. In the end, was her heart complete? [] Once you’re on, it’s difficult to get off, and when Tru Spencer found herself on the IVF merry-go-round it seemed as though life had temporarily come to a grinding halt. The conflict between lonely isolation and excited hope was exhausting, and the up and down range of emotions she was willing to endure astonished even her. When her wildest dream was confirmed she thought she could relax, but the nature of that dream meant the battle was only half-won. Her reserves of strength were needed right until the end – would her twin stars finally shine?

        by James Thoo

        Screenwriter James Thoo’s memoir is a deeply personal account of in vitro fertilisation (IVF)  — “one prolonged uppercut to the scrotum” — from a man’s point of view.

This book is must-have armour for men and women going through assisted reproduction treatments, IVF doctors who must mentally prepare patients, and anyone yearning to be a parent.

        Gabriel's Angel

        by Mark A Radcliffe

        Gabriel's Angel “is the perfect antidote to the glib platitudes of emotional quick-fix culture: tender, astute and very funny" - Christopher Brookmyre.

        Progenie / 1

        by Susana Martín Gijón

        PROGENY / A bold police procedural that delves into one of the major themes of our times: a reflection on motherhood, and with it, on family models and on still existing social demands imposed on women.  A captivating thriller and a powerful way of telling a story that is much more than just the plot and the characters but it also deals with the issue of artificial fertilization and genetic manipulation. Seville in the grip of a heat wave. Whoever can, dashes for the beach. But not Camino Vargas, the unexpectedly-appointed and temporary head of the homicide group since the shooting that left inspector Arenas in a coma. And neither do the criminals. Someone has deliberately run over a woman and fled. This fact will become the focus of media attention when a disturbing piece of information is leaked out: the murderer left a pacifier in the mouth of the victim before escaping. All the clues point to the ex-partner, a psychological abuser who made her life impossible. The statistics are not good: there have already been fifty fatal attacks of gender-based violence this year. However, when the autopsy reveals that the victim was pregnant, things will no longer be so clear. And when other murders begin to happen following the same modus operandi, the entire city will be shaken to the core. This forceful and rather troublesome inspector will have to handle the toughest case of her career, helped only by the few members of her team that remain in the city. In an exercise of literary maturity, the author reaches a perfect balance between the subject and a gripping and absorbing thriller in which the big unknown generates high tension in the whole city: has Seville become a dangerous place for women? Who and why is committing such brutal murders?

      • Managing Intimacy and Emotions in Advanced Fertility Care: the future of nursing and midwifery roles

        Managing Intimacy and Emotions in Advanced Fertility Care: the future of nursing and midwifery roles

        by Helen Allan

        This book is intended for nurses and midwives who work in Assisted Reproduction clinics and those who either work in, or have an interest in women’s health. The number of IVF births is increasing steadily as a percentage of all births and therefore infertility may be said to be increasingly influential in women’s health nursing and midwifery. The sense of connectedness which women caring for women express and as the data in this book show, women patients feel that there is something special about being cared for by female nurses and midwives. The emotions raised in clinical practice for nurses and midwives from caring for women need attention and discussion and this book is intended to contribute to a greater awareness of emotions in clinical practice even in a busy NHS. Indeed, paying attention to emotions when you are busy may help you understand and deal with the business. This book is intended for practicing nurses and midwives and therefore each chapter ends with a reflection from the author on the implications of the data for practice and an opportunity for the reader to reflect on their practice too. Contents include: A theoretical overview of caring and emotions The experience of infertility The nature of caring and managing emotions in fertility nursing Managing emotions and the body in fertility nursing: chaperoning brought up to date Experiences of infertility: liminality and the role of the Assisted Reproduction clinics Managing intimacy in fertility nursing The nature of advanced fertility nursing roles: why do nurses undertake them?

        My White

        by Ksenia Burzhskaya

        A sensational and highly anticipated novel by Ksenia Burzhskaya, a Russian renowned journalist, writer, and co-host of the YouTube channel White Noise, together with the famous Russian writer, Tatyana Tolstaya. Ksenia is also a speechwriter for Alisa (a voice assistant and Yandex’s alternative to Alexa) and the winner of the literary competition My First Pain (2008) organized by another great Russian author, Ludmila Ulitskaya. My White is set in the modern day. Throughout the book, the main character, sixteen-year-old girl Jane (Zhenya) is preparing for a New Year school performance. Zhenya was brought up by her two moms, artist Alexandra and doctor Vera. But despite that, she faces the same problems every other teenager does: she studies, meets up with friends, falls for a boy, and tries her best to get over an unrequited love and her parents’ divorce. Zhenya’s ultimate goal and destination in the novel, the concert, has two purposes: to gather her mothers and hopefully make them change their mind about the divorce, and to give her a chance to confess to Lyonya, head of their music club and the guy she is secretly in love with.   The novel has two central story lines. The first is a constant rehearsal, anticipation and premonition, that may be more important than the event itself. The second is memories, regrets, attempts to find your own way and answer the eternal questions: what is love? can it last forever? why do we love at all?

She goes against laws and conventions and discovers that primal maternal instincts know no borders. In the process, she discovers much about herself as well as about the questionable system, which invades the most intimate places, despite its noble goals.   Onyx feels that the only way for her soul to survive is by defying the establishment and following her uncontrolled urge to discover the fate of her biological children.

        Goat Production and Health Management

        by Satish Kumar Jindal

        Goats have a bright future as a domestic animal because of its continued usefulness and generation of new information to maintain this species in a more sustainable and profitable manner. Goat farming requires less capital to start and maintain than cattle or buffalo farming. Goat also has a higher reproductive rate as compared to cattle or buffaloes. Goat can sustain itself on marginal lands where other species of livestock may not even survive. The book has put emphasis on goat production in India but lot of information from world over is mentioned. Goats have been a major part of the research and development programmes aimed at poverty alleviation via the use of small ruminants. Research is of little use if its results are not disseminated and this book is part of the strategy for the dissemination and promotion of the research results to ensure that poor and under-resourced farmers benefit. The publication is expected to provide a useful reference source for all those who are interested in goats.

        Biotechnology in Animal Health and Production

        by Satish Kumar Jindal & M.C.Sharma

        This book describes and evaluates animal biotechnology and its application in veterinary medicine and pharmaceuticals as well as improvement in animal food production. Transgenic technologies are used for improving milk production and the meat in farm animals as well as for creating models of human diseases. Transgenic animals are used for the production of proteins for human medical use. Biotechnology is applied to facilitate xenotransplantation from animals to humans. Genetic engineering is done in farm animals and nuclear transfer technology has become an important and preferred method for cloning animals. Biotechnology has potential applications in the management of several animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, classical swine fever, avian flue and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The most important biotechnology based products consist of vaccines, particularly genetically engineered or DNA vaccines. Gene therapy for diseases of pet animals is a fast developing area because many of the technologies used in clinical trials humans were developed in animals and many of the diseases of cats and dogs are similar to those in humans. RNA interference technology is now being applied for research in veterinary medicine. Molecular diagnosis is assuming an important place in veterinary practice. Polymerase chain reaction and its modifications are considered to be important. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays are also widely used. Newer biochip-based technologies and biosensors are also finding their way in veterinary diagnostics. This book is an attempt to unravel the mysteries of biotechnology as it affects animal health and production."
