Synopsis

Midwives in History explores the often-overlooked contributions of midwives to childbirth practices across cultures and time. This book rediscovers the history of midwifery, highlighting its traditions and impact on women's health. It examines how midwives, essential figures in reproductive healthcare, have sometimes been marginalized by dominant medical systems, even though their contributions to safe childbirth and women's empowerment are undeniable.

 
Did you know that the evolution of midwifery training has gone through apprenticeship models, formal midwifery schools, and medical licensing impacts? The book progresses by first introducing the foundational concepts of midwifery, then exploring the formalization of midwifery training over the centuries. It examines diverse cultural childbirth practices, highlighting unique rituals and support systems.

 
Through primary historical texts and interdisciplinary research, Midwives in History adopts a global approach that balances academic rigor with narrative storytelling. The book culminates with an analysis of debates surrounding integrating midwives into modern healthcare systems and the implications for women’s reproductive autonomy.

    In Step into the Metaverse, Dr. Mark van Rijmenam delivers a startlingly insightful discussion about how the world as we know it will fundamentally change as the physical and the digital worlds merge into the metaverse, impacting the everyday experiences of people, companies, and societies. The author maps out the extraordinary opportunities and challenges facing business leaders, consumers, regulators, policymakers, and other metaverse stakeholders trying to navigate the future of the Internet. 
     
     
     
    In the metaverse, you can be who you want to be, where you want to be, and companies and consumers are only restricted by their own creativity how they can benefit from the immersive internet. With engaging commentary on issues ranging from avatars, identity, and digital fashion to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain, and the economics of the metaverse, this book also offers: discussions on the importance of an open and interoperable metaverse build on the web 3.0 paradigm if we want to reign in the control of Big Tech over our identity, data, and lives; explorations of the enormous—and largely untapped—potential for metaverse entertainment; and considerations related to the dangers of an always-on, immersive internet, including data breaches, avatar imposters, mental health issues, corporate and state surveillance, and the need for metaverse law.

    Endocrinology is the branch of medicine and biology that deals with the study of the endocrine system, which includes glands and organs that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones are chemical messengers that help regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. The endocrine system works in concert with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis, the body’s internal balance, and respond to external stimuli. 
    At the core of the endocrine system are the endocrine glands, which include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Each of these glands produces specific hormones that target various organs and tissues throughout the body. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, acts as the command center for the endocrine system. It sends signals to the pituitary gland, which in turn regulates other glands. The thyroid gland, for example, produces thyroid hormones that control metabolism, while the adrenal glands release corticosteroids and catecholamines in response to stress. 
    One of the defining characteristics of the endocrine system is its regulation through feedback mechanisms, primarily negative feedback loops. In these loops, the secretion of a hormone is reduced or increased based on the levels of that hormone in the blood. For example, when blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin to lower them. Once glucose levels return to normal, insulin secretion decreases. These feedback systems help the body adapt to changing conditions and maintain a stable internal environment.

    “Chaos magic offers a great deal of inspiration for creative freedom and innovation in magic, but it also outrages many people who liked to think of themselves as guardians of ancient traditions. This new book seems destined to do exactly the same for the next generation of magicians. Its publication may well prove a seminal moment in the history of magic.” —from the foreword by Peter J. Carroll   Magic workers have long used the tools at hand for crafting spells and rituals. AI technology has opened a new frontier for magic. Some of the most powerful tools at a magician’s fingertips today are computers and smart devices.  Magical AI Grimoire helps you to understand how to work with technology—creatively and ethically—in the practice of your magic. Whether you’re trying to use promptcraft to perfect a spell, ChatGPT to outline and strengthen a ritual, or generative image software to recreate what you’ve only seen on the astral plane, Davezilla is your guide.   Around the world, witches and magicians are finding that technology has a spiritual essence and a mind of its own. Witches and magicians have been using computers to organize sabbats and ceremonies since the early days of electronic communication. Astrology apps were some of the first applications written, and in most covens, it’s a good bet that one or more of the members work with computers. Davezilla provides context and history for the evolving uses of AI—from Alexa to Spotify to ChatGPT and beyond—and leads the pioneering, curious magician through a new magical realm with responsibility and clarity of insight.
