Perinatal Epidemiology Written by Melissa M. Adams, Greg R. Alexander, Russell S. Kirby, Martha S. Wingate, University of Alabama, Birmingham Advances in medical science, public health, and health care interventions during the 20th century have led to dramatic decreases in infant and maternal mortality. Nonetheless disparities in infant and maternal health persist. Because their health remains a significant public health indicator, Perinatal Epidemiology synthesizes perinatal knowledge through the lens of public health practice. This comprehensive text uses a consistent, logical format to offer readers: A spectrum of topics affecting maternal and infant health: reproductive health concerns, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, and gestation and fetal growth.. Information on timely issues, including infertility, gestational diabetes, preterm delivery, postpartum depression, and SIDS. Detailed discussions of current epidemiological trends, measures and measurement issues, data sources, and risk and protective factors for each condition covered. In-depth consideration of public health interventions and their availability, strengths and limitations. Emerging areas of interest and directions for research. Text boxes, definitions of key terms, discussion questions, appendices, and other helpful features. Perinatal Epidemiology is a valuable, ready resource for public health professionals in maternal and child care, reproduction and fertility. Its accessibility and easy-use format make it an equally strong textbook for courses in these fields as well as for advanced medical and nursing students in OB/GYN and pediatrics.

‘Transport’ is a delightfully open word; adding an ‘s’ to the original makes it even more interesting. The participants in the Conference which was organized on this topic by the Cerpac, early November 2005 at the Université Paul-Valéry, Montpellier (France), explored several facets of the word. They started with ‘Means of transport’, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. They then moved to ‘Forced transport’, which dealt with West African slaves, Tasmanian Aborigines, Indo-Caribbean women and Japanese-Canadians. ‘Travel’ offered some gentler kind of transport, from India to South Carolina and the Tongan Islands. And the very same word offered a way of ‘Crossing Borders’ with the symbolism in Salman Rushdie’s or V.S. Naipaul’s novels, or the transfer of mentalities in the 18th century. All in all, we covered a lot of ground from beginning to end. And now, readers, just allow yourselves to be. . . transported. « Transport » est un mot d’une richesse et d’une ouverture étonnantes; ajouter un « s » à l’original le rend encore plus intéressant. Début novembre 2005, un colloque a été organisé par le Cerpac sur le sujet à l’université Paul-Valéry, Montpellier (France), et ses participants explorèrent plusieurs facettes du mot. Ils débutèrent par « Moyens de transport », en Australie, en Nouvelle-Zélande et en Afrique du Sud ; puis ils passèrent à « Transport forcé », où il fut question des esclaves d’Afrique de l’Ouest, des Aborigènes de Tasmanie, des femmes caribéennes d’origine indienne, et des Canadiens-Japonais. « Voyage » permit de se transporter de façon plus douce, de l’Inde à la Caroline du Sud et aux îles Tonga. Et le même mot offrit l’occasion de « Traverser les frontières », qu’il s’agisse du symbolisme dans les romans de Salman Rushdie ou ceux de V.S. Naipaul, ou du transfert des mentalités au XVIIIe siècle. Au total, depuis le début jusqu’à la fin, un grand espace d’étude fut parcouru. Il ne reste plus maintenant au lecteur qu’à se laisser...…
