"Well-researched and engaging . . . Birth is a clever, almost
irreverent look at an enduring everyday miracle. (A-)"
--Entertainment Weekly "Wonderful. Packed full of information, a
brilliant mixture of ancient wisdom and modern science." --Kate
Mosse, author of the New York Times best seller, Labyrinth "Birth
is a power-packed book. . . . A lively, engaging, and often witty
read, a quirky, eye-opening account of one of life's most elemental
experiences." --The Boston Globe Published to widespread acclaim,
Tina Cassidy's smart, engaging book is the first world history of
childbirth in fifty years. From evolution to the epidural and
beyond, Tina Cassidy presents an intelligent, enlightening, and
impeccably researched cultural history of how and why we're born
the way we are. Women have been giving birth for millennia but
that's about the only constant in the final stage of the great
process that is human reproduction. Why is it that every culture
and generation seems to have its own ideas about the best way to
give birth? Cassidy explores the physical, anthropological,
political, and religious factors that have and will continue to
influence how women bring new life into the world.
