Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The author of "Are You Listening, God?" and "Small World: A History of Baby Care from the Stone Age to the Spock Age" has created an "almanac" devoted to the subject of the world's children. It is packed with hard statistical data as well as humorous, dramatic, surprising and even inspiring facts, making this reference work a valuable tool for both professional researchers and parents. Joan Bel Geddes touches on virtually every aspect of childhood and children in this easy reading volume. She begins with a review of the history of childhood, describing changes in laws and attitudes towards children through the centuries and in different countries. Child development from newborn to teenager follows with facts on multiple births including Siamese twins, and today's high tech babies. A section on nutrition and health care shows the great progress that has been made in making childbirth safer and includes an hilarious list of repulsive medicines given to children in previous centuries.Other sections focus on children in mythology, folklore and religion, family life, "child's play" which includes anecdotes about outstanding child athletes, children in the arts, entertainment and literature. The final sections take up contemporary subjects with useful information and statistics about the problems of children today. Bel Geddes takes an honest look at child abuse and abandonment, unmarried teenage mothers, adoption and custody laws, foster care, runaways, extreme poverty and child labour, violence and crime, racial conflicts and children in war. To conclude, the author shares both pessimistic and hopeful predictions about how children will fare in the 21st century. This engagingly written compendium is packed with humorous, dramatic, surprising, and inspiring facts about the past, present, and future of children and childhood.
