Situated on top of the bluffs facing Long Island Sound, Miller Place is a treasure trove of Long Island history. With the arrival of the railroad in the late 1800s, the beaches became a popular holiday and summer camp destination. Initially boardinghouses served vacationers until proprietors opened inns and resorts. Throughout the 20th century, Miller Place attracted vacationers from nearby New York City, including Paul Newman, Arthur Miller, and a young Anjelica Huston. Drawn by its bucolic setting, friendly atmosphere, and career opportunities at nearby Stony Brook University and Hospital, commuters in the 1970s and 1980s expanded and updated vacation homes and developed new lots. As the population grew, the civic-minded residents formed their own high school, fire department, historical society, civic association, and the North Shore Youth Council. Miller Places historic homes, natural spaces, and strong public schools make the hamlet a desirable place to raise a family.
'Promises a new route through the parenting wilds' Sunday Times 'Powerful, honest and reassuring' Professor Gina Rippon 'A vital new narrative . . . Meticulously researched, compelling and compassionate' Elinor Cleghorn 'A compelling book that upends popular notions about becoming a parent . . . reminds us why scientific research is a feminist issue' New Stateman 'I wish I'd had this book when I first became a mother' Emma Jane Unsworth New parents undergo major structural and functional brain changes, driven by hormones and the deluge of stimuli a baby provides. These neurobiological changes help all parents - birthing or otherwise - learn how to meet their child's needs. Yet this emerging science is mostly absent from the public conversation about parenthood. Untangling insidious myths from complicated realities, Chelsea Conaboy reveals that the story that exists in the science today is far more meaningful than the idea that mothers spring into being by instinct. Weaving the latest neuroscience and social psychology together with new reporting, she uncovers unexpected upsides, generations of scientific neglect and an empowering new narrative of parenthood.

Ce înseamnă să devii mamă? Cu siguranță, experiența fiecărei persoane este diferită și este modelată chiar de la început de circumstanțe proprii. Depinde dacă vorbim de o sarcină planificată sau nu, de zbuciumul care însoțește așteptarea până la momentul descoperirii ei sau, dimpotrivă, de panica unei sarcini nedorite. Contează și dacă e dusă la termen alături de un partener sau în lipsa unuia, dacă e concepută datorită unui donator, dar și dacă necesită asistență permanentă sau evoluează fără nicio dificultate. Dar parentalitatea – în general – și maternitatea – în special – sunt adesea privite ca ceva extrem de personal. O mamă este sacr...

As mudanças pelas quais passamos quando nos tornamos responsáveis pelos cuidados de um bebê são enormes e variadas. Nesta investigação rigorosa e acessível, a jornalista Chelsea Conaboy mostra como nosso cérebro se transforma para se adaptar às novas demandas — e como a romantização da maternidade é, na verdade, um perigoso mecanismo de controle social. A chegada de um bebê provoca uma verdadeira revolução. As modificações que acompanham o nascimento aparecem não apenas na rotina, mas também no corpo e na mente das pessoas responsáveis pelo cuidado. Embora as recomendações e os conselhos frequentemente recaiam sobre a relação entre mãe e filho(a), essa capacidade n...
EIN KIND ÄNDERT ALLES – aber was eigentlich genau? Ein Kind ändert alles. Viele Eltern hören diese Worte, doch was dahintersteht, darüber wird meist geschwiegen. Der ominöse Baby-Blues soll nach der Geburt rasch verklingen, und dank Mutterinstinkt wird die vergessliche Mama das Kind schon schaukeln. Doch was wissen wir tatsächlich über die Veränderungen, die unser Gehirn in der Schwangerschaft, der Geburt und der turbulenten Zeit danach erfährt? In ihrem Buch belegt die preisgekrönte Journalistin Chelsea Conaboy, selbst zweifache Mutter, wie weit viele Verklärungen der Elternschaft an der Realität vorbeigehen. Aus einer Geburt geht nicht nur ein neuer Mensch hervor, sondern min...
