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.
