I love this book. I am an apprenticing midwife. I have found the logic that Anne Frye uses to be right on with what I have believed birth to be.
Anne Frye give women the benefit of the power of their bodies to give birth. Thank you Anne!

This is absolutely the best midwifery book I've ever seen. It is beautiful and so full of information that at first it seems overwhelming.

I just received this on December 24 and since it is 1400 pages, to say the least I have not made it completely through the book yet! However...I have made a thorough review of the table of contents and also have skimmed through the chapters. The illustrations are of the same caliber of Anne's former works and the tables are exhaustively full of helpful and sometimes hard to find information. Her section on what to carry in your birth bag and why, in order of importance is for me, a midwifery student, ... Read More
