About this work

Description

"In this revised edition of Rediscovering Birth, Kitzinger explores the universal experience of pregnancy and childbirth and looks closely at feelings and behaviour in pregnancy, the physical and spiritual experience of giving birth, the role of the midwife, the bonds that are traditionally formed between mother and midwife and ideas about birth in many different cultures, and she asks how we can learn from them."-- Back cover.

Notes

Cover: To discuss birth only in terms of western culture is to get a one-dimensional view of it. This book offers a cross-cultural perspective.
