Educational. Informative. Written in such an obtusely formalized style as to be nearly inaccessible. I feel like it takes work to make such a dynamic topic as midwifery so very dry… so, kudos for that? Oy.

[Sandy Reenders]

Loved the detail in this book while being still practical and understandable. Everything about baby development and birth is fascinating

Great book. Very in-depth. Only drawback with it--the binding completely fell apart with only one month of use.
