Product Description

This mew book is a straightforward, fairly simple anatomy and physiology textbook for student midwives. It is illustrated with simple line drawings. It is selective in content: that is, it concentrates on the systems of the body and refers students to other sources for background reading in areas such as cell biology and genetics. The book is of a reasonable size and price for student midwives, and is directly related to the practice of midwifery. In addition to basic anatomy and physiology, each chapter includes a separate section on 'associated disorders of pregnancy' for the system. Features: * Simple, accessible, clear, easy-to-understand language. * Anatomy and physiology of the human body made relevant to student midwives. * Covers physiological changes throughout the childbearing year. * Boxes relate anatomy and physiology to midwifery practice.

Customer Reviews

An excellent basic text for midwifery students.
Since finding this book I have encouraged student midwives to use it as a basic anatomy and physiology text. It is written in fairly simple language so that students with a limited biological background can understand the principles of anatomy and physiology. Unlike many anatomy and physiology books, it also refers to the changes in the body during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. I would also recommend this book to qualified midwives as a revision tool.

Brilliant tool for Students and Midwives
What a fantastic book!!!
As a first year student I am finding the language used in this book at a level that i can understand (a bit simpler than 'coad').
If you only what to buy one book then this is your one.
