By Joan Donley A handy textbook for both midwife and mama, this Compendium beautifully supports a grass-roots, traditional midwifery model. It's packed with explanations and documentation for alternative treatments such as herbs and acupuncture. You'll also find a strong emphasis on the importance of good nutrition. Joan Donley is an internationally acclaimed advocate for normal birth who has been fighting the medicalisation of natural life processes most of her 80 years. The result of her own research, experience and practice, the Compendium is filled with wise, practical information. If you're a mom-to-be who wants to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and birth options, this book is for you. If you're a midwife or other birth professional, the Compendium will inform you about alternatives to the allopathic medical model all too common in birth today.
