This book is one of the most beautiful i have ever read. The photos are amazing. I was fascinated by the way that babies can swim in this environment. This book also showed pregnant women working with dolphins and in water. They were some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. The birth pictures were awesome..if you are interested in water birth, this is the book for you!

This book is full of very beautiful full-color photographs throughout, and the quality of the printing is very high. This is an extremely beautiful book!

I bought this book as a photographic work, although there is running text along with all the photographs. It's primarily about the joy and great value of introducing babies and children to water and swimming in a supportive environment, and it also has a good chapter on water birth.

What a beautiful book. Visually, it was amazing. The book is larger than most, so it gives a great opportunity to really enjoy and appreciate the photography. My favorite pictures were the ones which captured the babies being born. The photos are truly amazing.

Odent is a romantic in the way that he speaks, I don't know if it is because he is French or what, but I think that he would be able to sell me anything, he is so convincing and beautiful in the way that he speaks.

At first I was a little dismayed that he talked about swimming lessons and the elderly as well, I wanted a book only about water birth but I was pleasantly surprised as I got into it and learned more about water and its symbols and its impact on a great variety of people. I think he did a great job linking them all.

The only thing that I didn't particularly like is his obvious preference for the evolution theory. Throughout the book though he talks about us needing better understanding of sacred texts, myths and legends but he can only apply that so far. Perhaps it is the scientist in him but I wish he could see further than just evolution as to how we got here. Maybe the same thing that made birth beautiful and amazing did the same for all humanity. I certainly believe that!
