I have just received this book and have only read the table of contents. This is ONLY Volume ONE. It does not contain anything about Labor or Delivery, just care of the pregnant woman before that.

I am a 2nd year, bachelor of Midwifey student in New Zealand. "Holistic Midwifery" along with Anne Fryes "Understanding Diagnostics" were required texts for our degree program. Both of these books together are priceless! I have read both from cover to cover (over several weeks in my summer holidays!)and am amazed with Anne's fabulous ability to cover issues thoroughly with depth and understanding that rivals any academic author. I was fortunate to speak to Anne personally on several occasions and was awed by her modesty and her obvious love of work. I imagine Anne sitting at her computer typing from morning to night, her 2nd and 3rd volumes which are yet to come so she can share her wealth of information with midwives, students, mothers, anybody with an interest in pregnacy and childbirth. Well done Anne, I wait with uncontained enthusiasm for volumes 2 and 3!
