Editorial Reviews

Review

by Faye Doris; Academic Lead, Midwifery; University of Plymouth

This is an excellent book. This edition is clear and reflects a contemporary understanding of physiology.

The Practicing Midwifery; Vol. 9, No: 1; Sue Baines

A particular strength of this quality publication is that the authors have managed to achieve the right pitch. Basic information is presented in a clear and user-friendly way, but depth is also provided where appropriate, in order to support a deeper level of professional understanding. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific resource for the midwifery student, May 22, 2000

This review is from: Physiology in Childbearing: with Anatomy and Related Biosciences (Paperback)

This book is incredible! It is a detailed anatomy and physiology text, but applied to childbearing. So it covers the major body systems, but talks about how childbearing affects them also. Then it goes into the physiology of birth and its complications- just incredible. I recommend this to every midwifery student out there, and midwives as well!
