Birth is a life-crisis rite of passage, intense with danger and emotion. This provocative collection combines anthropological and medical insights about the process of human reproduction, giving readers substantive information about better fertility and birth care for all women. The contributors have conducted detailed observation in eight countries throughout the world. This comparative perspective helps readers reflect on the "cultural drift" toward rather industrialized hospital birth. It also helps readers re-imagine human reproduction holistically within an integrated mind- qbody-spirit framework.
