Elizabeth Greene

An excellent core reference textbook for any undergraduate midwifery student. The new chapters address contemporary opportunities and challenges for midwifery practice. This textbook's global outlook and perspective is progressive and reminds readers that midwives all around the world share a common philosophy of empowerment and partnership with woman underpinned by evidence-based knowledge and skills.

This book is a core foundation book for all student midwives. The layout is neat and there are clear aims and objectives for what learning will be achieved at the beginning of each chapter. The content is current and it is especially good to see a chapter on concealed pregnancy. A must for all student midwives.
