註釋This is the new and completely updated edition of a cornerstone midwifery textbook. Thoroughly overhauled to focus on modern clinical realities and with a clear emphasis on the normal, the textbook builds on its reputation for depth of information and breadth of scope, taking the midwifery student with confidence through the first days of study to the first days of qualified practice. New illustrations are added for this edition, to bring it fully up-to-date.
  • Content focuses on the importance of the midwife and the components of her preparation, support, and role.
  • Comprehensive content offers students complete and clear coverage of midwifery.
  • In-depth information is accessible and directly useful to midwifery students.

  • Reflective exercises interspersed within the text
  • Key points summary at the end of each chapter
  • Considerably more reference to, and integration of evidence where available, to weave this throughout the text as a more obvious emphasis, and to mirror midwifery teaching today.
