Book excerpt: The author, a nurse-midwife and epidemiologist, brings together the myriad strands of history, culture, science, economics, and policy that have resulted in the current condition of maternity care in the US. While acknowledging the role and importance of medical obstetrics, she argues that the most sophisticated medical treatment does not reflect an understanding of childbearing as both a physiologic process and an important human experience and transition.
