American medicine reinterpreted and reconceived of the problem of sudden infant death multiple times over the course of the twentieth century. Its various approaches linked sudden infant deaths to all kinds of different causes—biological, anatomical, environmental, and social. In the context of a nation increasingly skeptical, yet increasingly expectant, of medicine, Americans struggled to cope with the paradoxes of sudden infant death; they worked to admit their powerlessness to prevent SIDS even while they tried to overcome it. Brittany Cowgill chronicles and assesses Americans' fraught but consequential efforts to explain and conquer SIDS, illuminating how and why SIDS has continued to cast a shadow over doctors and parents.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Deaths of Infants in Bed\": The Historical Origins of SIDS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCause of Death: SIDS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Theory of the Month Club: Conducting Research on SIDS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRisky Babies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobilization: SIDS Activism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCause for Alarm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleep Like a Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003eConclusion: \"The Disease of Theories\": Discovering SIDS\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563714474264,"sku":"9780813588209","price":91.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/rest-uneasy-sudden-infant-death-syndrome-in-twentieth-century-america-hardback-9780813588209","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
