|  | Equal to the Task by Dail R. Cantrell
The anticipated birth of a child cannot be duplicated. Typically it is a joyous time. However, instead of a normal 40 weeks, births prior to the 37th week are often troublesome and dangerous. Premature births account for just over 11 of the nearly 4 million new births in the U.S. annually. Aside from the good wishes to family and friends, support groups and the professional support of hospital staff, little exists for parents facing this difficult and challenging time to serve as encouragement - that is, until now. Just as no two babies are the same, so are no two Neonatal Intensive Care Unit experiences. Equal to the Task is a powerful, inspirational story of one family's fight to defeat the debilitating impact of premature birth. Here is a testament to the steadfast love given to one small boy, Benjamin, by his parents and family, and the endless staff of healthcare providers who battled the odds for months. Near death on a number of occasions, the young baby faced numerous surgeries and procedures, finally beating the odds he was released from his hospital-home after many long months. Perfect reading for any family facing the challenges of a premature birth, the doctors and nurses who work in NICUs round the nation, and educators who work with children born prematurely. A strong gift for friends and family. A powerful story healthcare providers should read. AUTHOR: Dail R. Cantrell

 | A Hospital Handbook on Multiculturalism & Religion by Neville A. Kirkwood
In our religiously pluralistic society, clergy, medical and nursing staffs in modern hospitals are confronted with caring for people with varied beliefs and customs. Since the overall care of a patient, and not just the surgeries performed or medicines given, affect an individual`s recovery, it is vitally important to be familiar with cultural and religious understandings and expectations around hygiene, pastoral care, autopsies, transfusions, and even the practices associated with death itself. A Hospital Handbook on Multiculturalism and Religion is a succinct guide to the care of patients from a variety of faith perspectives: Christian, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhist, B`hai, and others. Each chapter examines not only the customs themselves, but the significance of certain rites and attitudes, supplying health care workers and chaplains with the information they need to provide the best care possible.
