| | How: Books about childbirth and child care techniques | Why: Why Natural Childbirth is Best for you and your Baby | Politics and Economics : Why the childbirth business is the way it is. | | History: The history of contemporary midwifery. My introduction to alternatives to medicalized childbirth. The trailblazers and gurus. Read for inspiration! | Power: Why the Medical Profession wants to hold on to it. About the coming crisis in childbirth choices. | | I had a hard time picking categories, since many of the books discuss the "how and why" together, or the "politics and economics" along with the "power." The "history of modern midwifery" pretty much covers all of the categories. I picked them from the perspective of a health care consumer trying to find more information. I would appreciate indications of which categories you would have used in any reviews that you send. Book and video reviews on any of these books and recommendations for other books and videos you found especially helpful will be posted in the reviews section. Send to me at 530Rose@msn.com |
