This book does an excellent job summarizing and interpreting the history of birthing in the United States in the last 100 years or so. I makes a wonderful case for natural birth settings. Several lovely tales of Amish home birth. Then I felt totally betrayed in the end, when they made a completely unsubstantiated statement that birth is safest in birth centers. I take this to mean the authors either 1 - think American women are incapable of lovely home births due to the history they've given in this book or 2 - are trying to reconcile theirselves with modern medicine when the information they've presented, clearly indicates that modern medicine has little to offer normal birth.
