The papers address some of the antecedents and consequences of the recent steep declines in fertility in developed countries from different theoretical and disciplinary angles. While fertility rates are still high in some less-developed parts of the world, the new population problem with many countries in Europe, Asia, and North America

"In this first chapter we will outline the steps that are necessary to achieve pregnancy. This includes the three primary requirements which have to be fulfilled for an embryo to be produced, and the process for that embryo to implant and grow within the womb (uterus). BASIC FERTILITY FACTORS In order for a pregnancy to occur, three basic fertility parameters need to be fulfilled (Figure 1.1). First, adequate number of normal sperm have to be deposited in the correct place at the right time; secondly eggs (oocytes) have to be released (ovulation) (this is described in detail in Chapter 2); and thirdly, the passages- the womb (uterus) and tubes- have to be open and normal, to allow the transport of sperm up, eggs down, and the resulting embryo (after fertilization) down the tubes and into the uterus, where the embryo can implant and thus have a pregnancy established"--

Assembled at the intersection of thought and practice, biosocial power attempts to bring envisioned futures into the present, taking hold of life in the form of childhood and shaping the power relations that encapsulate the social and cultural world(s) of adults and children. The text will appeal to researchers and students interested in taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of childhood and power.
