Abraham B. Bergman. "The Discovery of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Lessons in the Practice of Political Medicine." Praeger Publishers. Westport, CT. 1986.

Abraham Bergman is a well-developed doctor of pediatrics. In this book, the factors that make it interesting are that Abraham Bergman uses a unique look at how political arguments and politics in medicine can affect the research on SIDS. This books goes into the history of SIDS and a wide spectrum from that and how families of the victims can be helped. This is helpful because of the outlook on how the government can play a role on SIDS.

Monica Cane. "A Journey to Healing: Life After SIDS." Jireh Publishing. Copyright September27, 2004.

Monica Cane is an author that writes fiction. This book shows how people can have strength after losing a baby to SIDS. I think a fictional book with a story of SIDS is important to understand the emtional value of my topic. This book is geared towards God for coping. Getting a wide range of understanding and perspectives is important for my research.

SIDS Monitor. "How to Prevent SIDS: SIDS Monitor." December 8, 2009. http://www.howtopreventsids.com/.

This is something I came across doing research, and is something I haven't heard of before. On this website there is a new monitor that monitors a baby while it is sleeping. If there is no movement after 15 seconds there will be a vibration to the baby and if in another 20 seconds there is no movement there will be a loud sound to alert the parents. This website is helpful because it's showing how technology can move forward with the prevention of SIDS.

Eds Roger W Byard, Henry F Kraus. Arnold. "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Problems, Progress and Possibilities." Copyright BJM 2001.

Byard and Arnold go way back in this book to get an indepth history of SIDS. A historical point of view is very important to have a complete understanding of how it was formulated that a general consenus was made that infants were dying suddenly. The aurthors provide detailed information from biblical times of what was then called "crib death" which is now known as SIDS.
