Oxorn Foote Human Labor and Birth, Sixth EditionAfter just purchasing the older edition for midwifery school earlier this year, I was frustrated to find out a newer edition was just released; HOWEVER, wow - what a beautiful revision of a classic reference!By Aiden Harrington
This new edition is a MUST-BUY for the midwife, OB/GYN, and OB nurse.
I used this book in the 1990's during nurse midwifery school and it was my favorite text. As an author and professor, I could no longer use the book as it had not been republished for some time. I was beyond thrilled when I saw it was updated. I was not disappointed! This is what I personally consider the "Bible of Obstetrics". It is concise, extremely readable, and includes crucial content without erroneous information and fluff. The new colored drawings are beautiful and the content is well laid out. They include statistical information and precise headings that make looking up content fast and easy. I have an extensive library of obstetrical textbooks and need to purchase the most current versions for textbook writing purposes; however, this is really the ONLY book you need. I often give students a short list of books I would take if I was on a deserted island and needed references to look up information. This is #1 on my list! Great revision!!By Nathan Davidson
