Description
Students can now enter midwifery without having completed a nursing qualification, which means they need a comprehensive and practical midwifery textbook right from the start of their student days. The new thirteenth edition of this multi-authored textbook of midwifery practice has been restructured by its two editors, Ruth Bennett and Linda Brown, who have brought in an excellent team of contributors. This adds authority to the book, with literature reviews, references and further reading all now a part of what Myles has to offer midwifery students. It provides comprehensive coverage of anatomy and physiology as well as the important topical issues of midwifery practice.
