Community-based primary care physicians are routinely challenged as they stabilize, evaluate, and care for term and late-preterm neonates. Although there have been many spectacular advances in care of neonates, the challenges and successes of caring for the most preterm, very low birth-weight newborns seem to dominate presentations and the Pediatric literature.

The newest recommendations of multiple organizations (including the AAP) are presented, including the rationale for each recommendation as well as controversial issues. The individual articles will provide the primary care provider with a comprehensive foundation for care of the neonate.

When the Princess of Zamanga is struck ill and the whole kingdom literally starts to crumble, the warrior, Oddwell, is summoned to complete one mission: save the Princess and save the world. Along the way Oddwell must learn to rely upon friends, old and new, as he comes up against sinister plots to turn the Princess against the Kingdom by an evil witch. As the Princess’s condition deteriorates, so does the world she rules, leaving Odwell in a race against time and his enemies. Meanwhile, in our world, a story runs parallel to this “Oddventure.” As a young girl in the hospital is told stories by her big brother to keep her mind off the pain of recovery, parallels are drawn between the people in her own life, her illness, and even random objects and artwork around her room, with Odwell, her favorite toy frog, at the heart of every epic tale.

Visions of Development is a path-breaking and original volume, examining concepts and perceptions of human development through a unique synthesis of empirical and philosophical work. The author builds on the foundations of Sen and Nussbaum's capability approach, now at the forefront of development studies. The book aims to identify and clarify academic concepts of development, to consider how poor people themselves perceive 'development' and confronts abstract concepts of development with the views of ordinary people. It represents the first systematic attempt to construct a development ethic (list of valuable capabilities) that is based directly on the values and experiences of the poor.David Clark considers the case for viewing development in terms of the expansion of human capabilities instead of some narrow conception of utility or opulence; and develops a non-paternalistic methodology for forging a development ethic that can respect the values of all people. He then proceeds to develop an account of human development based on the perceptions of people living in both rural and urban locations in South Africa - Murraysburg and Wallacedene respectively.A multidisciplinary and accessible text, this challenging book will appeal not only to scholars and researchers in development economics but also economic geographers, social scientists and political economists. It will also be of great interest to policymakers and practitioners.
