By chronicling the "back to the breast" movement among American mothers, Jessica L. Martucci provides a welcome account of what it has meant to breastfeed in modern America. She reveals why breastfeeding practice made a comeback in the second half of the twentieth century, even amid overwhelming advice from medical and scientific experts advocating the sufficiency, if not the superiority, of bottle-feeding. While rates of breastfeeding fell throughout the 1950s and '60s, only to rebound in the '70s, the return to breastfeeding began several decades earlier. Its statistical reemergence was preceded, the author shows, by the development of an ecological and evolutionary view of motherhood, family, and nature that continues to shape ideas, policies, and expectations surrounding breastfeeding in America to this day.

Stephen (Steve) Charles Hembry nearly drowned in the sea – but it has also sustained and fascinated him. In this memoir, he shares how he almost followed in the footsteps of his ancestors to make the sea his vocation. While he chose a different path, the sea remains relevant as a metaphor to the mission he chose, which is helping people cope with trauma. Whether it's within the realm of relationships, emotions, physical disease, injury, or in the spiritual domain, the author highlights how he has overcome or helped others cope with trauma, suffering, and pain. To carry out his work, he’s relied on clinical hypnosis, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and counseling for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He’s also administered various forms of pain relief, offered nutritional advice, removed skin lesions, sutured lacerations, and much more. Join the author as he looks back at his adventures throughout the world and the amazing things he’s seen or done while being Drawn to the Sea.
