The Foundations of Flourishing and Our Responsibility to Infants : An Ethical and Evidence-Based Case to Challenge the Societal Acceptance of Childcare.

Joiner, Gillian.


Intro -- Introduction -- Chapter 1 The Evidence -- Attachment Theory -- Neuroscientific Evidence -- Chapter 2 Childcare, and Mothers and Fathers -- Childcare -- Mothers and Fathers -- Chapter 3 Obligations to Children and Ourselves -- Obligations to Children -- Autonomy -- Chapter 4 Love -- What Love Confers -- Duty to Love -- The Components of Love -- Expansiveness of Love -- Chapter 5 Flourishing -- Flourishing -- Attributes of Flourishers -- Chapter 6 Liberalism -- The Liberal State and its Role Regarding Children -- Public and Private Spheres -- Nozick's Liberalism -- Kant -- Mill -- Capitalism -- Chapter 7 Feminism and Motherhood -- Feminism -- Difference Feminism -- Motherhood -- Background -- Motherhood Today -- Chapter 8 An Ethics of Social, Emotional, and Moral Wellbeing -- Ethics of Care -- Slote's Ethics of Care and Empathy -- Gilligan's Reframing of the Ethics of Care -- An Alternative Autonomy -- The Ethics of Social, Emotional, and Moral Wellbeing -- Families -- Chapter 9 Policy Issues -- The State -- Practical Problems -- Career -- Remuneration -- Superannuation -- Education -- Lack of Status and Respect -- Developing Solutions Through Policy -- Career -- Remuneration -- Family -- Value of Motherhood -- Superannuation -- Education -- Supporting Families -- Communities -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. Neuroscientific evidence reveals that childcare centres are high stress environments which can disrupt the brain's emotional developmental circuitry during critical phases, impacting a child's later ability to flourish. At the same time evidence also reveals that some parenting practices are sub-optimal. Exploring what it is infants really need to grow emotionally well, represents a largely unexplored issue. If the state wants to be populated by flourishing individuals, then this topic must be addressed. Using an ethical framework to tease out the wide ranging, complex, and sometimes controversial issues that this dilemma presents, The Foundations of Flourishing and Our Responsibility to Infants follows a cross-disciplinary journey. The author pieces together pertinent issues in a synthesised critique of political, feminist, and moral philosophy, as well as psychological and neuroscientific findings, and offers some possible solutions. It will be of interest to researchers and teachers in areas including philosophy, psychology, education, social care, as well as educators and policy-makers in early childhood development.

They now represent a flagship organism for alcoholic fermentation processes. The ubiquity of some yeast species also offers microbiologists a heterologous gene-expression platform, making them a model organism for studying eukaryotes. Yeasts: from Nature to Bioprocesses brings together information about the origin and evolution of yeasts, their ecological relationships, and the main taxonomic groups into a single volume. The book initially explores six significant yeast genera in detailed chapters. The book then delves into the main biotechnological processes in which both prospected and engineered yeasts are successfully employed. Yeasts: from Nature to Bioprocesses, therefore, elucidates the leading role of these single-cell organisms for industrial microbiology in environmental, health, social, and economic terms. This book is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary resource for general readers as well as scholars of all levels who want to know all about yeast microbiology and their industrial applications.

Loneliness : Science and Practice.

Jeste, Dilip V.


Offering a comprehensive review of the current literature, this book aims to construct a translational framework for recognizing and addressing loneliness in the clinical context. With clinical vignettes that help ground the information in real-world applicability, this guide presents the theoretical foundations of loneliness; discusses the epidemiology of loneliness throughout the life cycle; examines loneliness in specific populations; analyzes the psychosocial and biological mechanisms of loneliness; and describes research- and community-based interventions.
