Brown and gold illustrated wrapper with gold and white lettering. 237 historical and informative pages! "This essential collection on maternal and child health focuses on the rites of giving birth from a cross-cultural perspective.

In addition, the authors explore the humoral medical tradition used in birthing, the possible influence of cultural practices on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), customs and beliefs regarding breastfeeding, weaning, swaddling, and finally a sociobiological perspective on early infant behavior.
