Rich textural contrasts, intense colors, and strong design characterize this gorgeous guide that's filled with fabulous color photos and strikingly original projects, all clearly explained. Many are not necessarily round or even made to hang on the wall: the topiary of gardenias, fruit-and-nasturtium table garland, bridal headpiece, chair-back decoration, and banister garland all take the concept of wreath making to new design heights, lending elegance to very special occasions. For some everyday flair, try a horseshoe of succulents, a citrus fruit ring, or a driftwood frame. "The true craft of wreath making," says this talented floral designer, "is taking whatever is plentiful and inexpensive in nature and fashioning it into an imaginative decoration." --Amy Handy

Book Description

The crucial decision between breastfeeding and formula feeding is increasingly complicated by misinformation and unfounded theories which cloud the actual facts. By all accounts, breastmilk is the most amazing life-sustaining fluid known to humanity. Many women who breastfeed characterize it as perhaps the most fulfilling life experience they will ever know. Scientific research supports the fact that breastfed babies are healthier, have lower infant mortality rates and fewer chronic illnesses throughout their lives than formula-fed babies. Similarly, women who breastfeed are significantly less likely to contract serious illnesses such as breast cancer. Alarmingly few people are aware of the unique benefits of breastfeeding and do not understand the dangers and risks of feeding an infant formula. In fact, the United States has the lowest breastfeeding rate in the industrialized world. Why has our society defied common sense and scientific data when breastfeeding has so many biological, emotional, environmental, and even financial advantages over laboratory blends? Milk, Money, and Madness is a thought-provoking book that offers honest answers and straight facts about breastfeeding. This book is designed to provide women, men, health workers, doctors, nurses, and midwives with the knowledge they need to advise or decide about the most suitable means of nourishment for infants. Baumslag and Michels consider the effects of 50 years of clever marketing and advertising which have transformed this society into one where bottle feeding is the norm and infant formula is considered to be essential to women's liberation and the forming of a paternal-infant bond. They also examine attitudes toward breastfeeding in cultures all around the world as compared to the antipathy toward breastfeeding that pervades the United States. Milk, Money, and Madness cuts through the myths and paranoia to offer an enlightening, culturally significant look at one of the most fundamentally beautiful functions of the human experience.

Should be Required Reading.......2007-04-04

I was raised in a "breastfeeding family" but this book still was amazing. It should be required reading for college students in business ethics courses. Students majoring in health education, nutrition, family sciences, and women's issues, all should read this during their coursework.

The statistics and studies cited, and information contained, are invaluable in understanding how we came to be a formula-feeding society. And they are the nuggets of how we can reverse that situation. Inform yourself! And you'll begin to be able to inform others, too [given opportunities]. I'm amazed how many people don't recognize the duplicity of formula companies in their product marketing, here and in the Developing World.

A MUST READ.......2007-02-05

I can go over all the reason why to read this book, but it's easier to say you have to read it! If you have come across this book, you must be interested in breastfeeding, this book won't tell you how to do it, but it will tell you why and give you a much greater feeling of how to promote it to others!

I'm shocked that a book like this can be around, it's sad that there is enough anti-breastfeeding companies etc. to warrent the book.

I wish this book were out of date and irrelevant!.......2006-03-23

This definitive history of formula, pharmaceutical companies and infant death is highly readable, despite its depressing topic. While it would be comforting to think that formula fed babies only die at a higher rate than breastfed in places without access to clean water that just ain't so -- never has been, never will be, and the companies which make formula know that. Which is why the code of advertising (which formula -- which is to say, pharmaceutical -- companies continue to violate) adopted in the early years of the boycott applies around the world, including in the U.S.

Along the way, Baumslag and Michels include some really amusing sidelights like the invention of the stroller by a New York man, and its adoption by Queen Victoria. One tiny snit: they're anti-swaddling, considering it a barbaric, backward practice that only occurs in backward, barbaric places and should be stamped out.

It strengthened the Lactivist in me!.......2006-01-04

This book should be on every mother-to-be's MUST READ list. It goes into great detail about breastfeeding in other cultures, how the medical establishement derails a mothers efforts before she can even get started, and the overly agressive marketing tactics of the formula manufactures.

There are heartbreaking tales of the number of babies who were killed by artifical feeding.

I cannot reccomend this book enough! Read it before you have children, it will make you see formula (and the Nestle corporation) in a whole new light.

Must read for all concerned with breastfeeding and public health!.......2005-12-13

I just finished this book and it was great!

I read it on my pump breaks at work (funny, huh) and it was easy to read and pickup/put down many times. The language was intelligent but not so textbook as to be boring of difficult to sort through.

I would recommend this book to all nursing moms. It starts with history and cultural beliefs, moves onto biology and benefits then talks about formula companies and their dirty tactics.

Very well rounded view of breastfeeding.

Awakened the Activist in me!.......2001-08-01

I didn't understand breastfeeding advocacy until I read this book. Gabrielle Palmer covers all the bases on why we need to protect future generations from the mass marketing of infant formula, and how those products have become so prevalent throughout our society and the world. Covers the Nestle' illegal marketing tactics so thoroughly that I can't even consider buying any of their products. Background on the World Health Organisation's stance on the marketing of breastmilk substitutes made me realise what an all-encompassing public health issue breastfeeding is.

motivational rhetoric for the breastfeeding advocate!.......1999-11-05

Already over ten years old, Gabrielle Palmer's eye-opening book pioneered some of the breastfeeding advocacy arguments being used by activists today.

Links obstacles placed in the way of breastfeeding mothers to the devaluation of the motherhood role which occurred during the growth of the industrial revolution.

Detailed history of breastfeeding and wet-nursing. Narrates the history of the Nestle scandal, in empathy with 3rd World perspective. A strong advocate for the rights of all babies to be nourished from the breast.

Counters anti-breastfeeding sentiment in today's society. Explains away sexuality myths which hinder women from breastfeeding in public. Terrific book for the breastfeeding professional who wants to boost their arguments!

Wonderfully educational, painfully true........1998-08-24

As a breastfeeding advocate myself, I wish that all young men and women were required to read this in high school, before parnethood. This book lets the reader see the conection between money, big business, and formula marketing. The book educates on the vast differences between artifical feeding and human milk, differences that the general population is unaware of. If you want to get fired-up over an issue, this is the book for you.

A real eye opener!.......1998-07-10

As someone who had to defend breastfeeding my child, I already had strong views about how society looks at the practise. The first time I read this book (first edition)I found the history behind it fascinating. What really alarmed me, though, was the truth behind formulas and what used to pass as formula! After getting the second edition, I was dismayed to find that nothing had improved in 10 years. This book is well researched an passionate. Be warned! After reading this, you may just become an activist!

Book Description

The spread of the AIDS virus has introduced a new element into the formula-versus-breastfeeding controversy. Mothers, particularly those in developing nations, have been urged to breastfeed in order to better nourish their infants and protect them from disease or contaminants in the water used to prepare formula. Now, however, mothers and healthcare workers must consider the danger of transmitting AIDS via breastfeeding. When HIV-infected women nurse their children, they more than double the risk of transmitting the virus. The issue is further complicated in countries where the alternatives are not very promising and in cultures that stigmatize women for even undergoing AIDS testing. This informative analysis includes the development of research into HIV and breastfeeding, the medical and political questions surrounding the controversy, and options and solutions for women to consider in feeding their infants. Fully indexed, this book is an important contribution to the social and medical studies of one of the most tragic facets of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Breastfeeding and HIV/AIDS: The Research, the Politics, the.......2004-01-29

The author of this book has thoroughly and systematically discussed the link between breastfeeding and transmission of HIV . The diverse spectrum of settings and cultures that have informed the author's perspective presupposes the urgent need to halt further spread of HIV from a mother to her child. My present research on Nigeria reinforces that mother-to-child transmission is one of the ways in which the virus is spreading in Nigeria. Although migrant status,education status and age at first sexual intercourse have different levels of impact on AIDS-KNOWLEDGE through mother to child blood transfusion, the undeniable fact is that it is a problem in Nigeria. On the other hand, other colleagues should be informed that most health care systems in Africa are still in the crude state and HIV/AIDS intervention strategy on such issues I may be wrong are well documented in national programmes of AIDS, but are rarely on the agenda. The message of cross infection is yet to be understood by most women. But again, gender is a highly charged topic in Africa because of male dormination and unguided misconceptions against western interpretation of disease prevention. The only way forward is to mitigate the spread of HIV through this process by consistently promoting the alternatives to breastfeeding. It may take time, but the long term implication of taking prevention measures to halt mother-to-child HIV spread in Afica is a sound research agenda that should be encouraged. Edith White has made a significant contribution to this dynamic subject. It will require huge funding, political support and de-culturing certain negative beliefs in Africa in order to change high risk practices. I passionately expect AIDS- PREVENTION revolution that will ultimately translate AIDS-knowledge into behaviour change. I strongly recommend the approach of the author to other researchers. Thank you for your audience.

Incorporating a wide spectrum.......2003-04-23

I found White's book to present many different points of view while it drew on a variety of disciplines. This book was a great overview on a topic that not many consider or know much about.

Out of date.......2003-01-19

Keep in mind that the field of AIDS and HIV is a fast moving area of research. what was current in 1998 when Edith White did her research is hopelessly out of date now, and some was out of date when the book was published.

Mixed feeding has been shown to be the worst scenario for protecting infants from AIDS transmission. If a child is fed a combination of artificial food and breastmilk, absorbtion in the gut is modified so that viruses and proteins pass through more easily. To keep the gut intact, a mother should feed *only* breastmilk. There is a large body of research supporting exclusive breastfeeding and decreased HIV transmission.

Women in developing nations are often stimatised for bottle feeding because it is taken as an admission that she is positive for HIV. This leads to the very dangerous practice of mixed feeding, because women bottle feed in private and breastfeed in public. Women must be given *accurate* information that prevents this practice. They must be given enough information to nourish their babies as they see fit.

A springboard for a very important conversation........1999-06-05

As a breastfeeding mother of two, tandem-nursing a three-year-old and a one-year-old, I am often frustrated by the lack of available information on breastfeeding. Information that is available tends to focus on how wonderful breastfeeding is and why every single person should do it. This is a very disturbing scenario because it both fails to acknowledge the reality of women's lives and fails to view them as intelligent people capable of making informed decisions. In Breastfeeding and HIV/AIDS: The Research, the Politics, the Women's Responses, Ms. White expresses an opinion which is not popular, but whose time has come. The research clearly shows that HIV/AIDS is indeed readily transmitted through breastmilk, and that this information needs to be publicly acknowledged and passed on to the women who it most directly affects . We need to recognize that women are intelligent beings, who do the best they can, based on the information that they have when the decision is made. The time is long overdue for a scholarly book which presents the information in a clear manner and makes that information available to the general public. I find it appalling that governments, the medical profession and other groups feel that they have the right to make decisions for women. Ms. White brings a respect for all women and all children that tends to be lacking in discussions concerning women and children in resource-poor countries. As a strong breastfeeding advocate, it is difficult to hear that, in some situations, breastmilk is not the best option. As a mother and a feminist, I realize that it is important to have this conversation and to make it an honest conversation, where all those concerned have access to the truth. Thank-you Ms. White for providing a springboard for this conversation.
