Reviews

'… compact, well-organised and easy to read. Figures and tables are plentiful and of high quality. In each chapter evidence to support the authors' recommended management is presented and accompanied by relevant references. Overall, I highly recommend this book. It will be a valuable text for anyone providing intrapartum care, whether new to the subject or an advanced practitioner.'

'This is a great textbook encompassing many aspects of labor and delivery, written mainly for those who are in training for this medical specialty or preparing to take an examination, but also as a source of information and/or reference for established specialists … This is an excellent and very valuable resource to own, study and use.'
