CBI Review:
Another great book by Henci Goer, this one is more
appealing to professionals than to parents. Taking each of the
obstetric interventions, Henci illustrates how many of the routine
practices are not supported by research. Another great book for your
library.

Amazon Description:
This title is directed primarily towards health care
professionals outside of the United States. Concentrating
specifically on research into midwifery and related
disciplines, this book appraises eight previously published
research articles that present both qualitative and
quantitative research studies. Each of the various elements
is analyzed - from the methodology through to the
interpretation of the results. Each article is annotated
with notes and questions, thereby enabling the reader to
actively participate in the appraisal.
Amazon Description:
With the increasing risk of litigation in midwifery, there is
often a move to err on the side of caution and classify
women as 'at risk' even if they present with only a hint of
a problem. Reflecting the need for global professional
standards, this unique book presents the available evidence
on normality in childbirth and proposes new approaches and
paradigms for future research and practice. Covering a
variety of subjects, international contributors present
evidence-based, practical expertise on normal birth to help
readers become aware of the wide parameters of "normal" in
order to practice effectively and safely.
Amazon Description:
Evidence-based Care for Normal Labour and Birth brings to
light much of the evidence around what works best for normal
birth which has, until now, remained largely hidden and
ignored by maternity care professionals. Packed with
up-to-date and relevant information, this controversial book
will help all students, practising midwives and doulas keep
abreast of the evidence surrounding normal birth and ensure
their practice takes full advantage of it.

This must-have resource provides the newest thinking and
research in a convenient evidence-based guide for managing
breastfeeding and breastfeeding problems.
