Review
"... condenses a bookshelf worth of facts and theories into one succinct volume, covering production from fertilization through birth and the newborn...amazingly detailed, with new facts in almost every sentence." -- Niles Newton, PhD, Birth 20:3, September 1993.
"...a brilliant book and well worth a read." -- KIDS, St. Catharine's College [UK] Society Magazine, 1993
"...reads like poetry...conveys the miracle of the developing fetus along with the latest scientific developments in fetal physiology. For once, the average parent doesn't have to sit back and accept that wonderful advances have been made without having any idea what they are." -- Helen Brown, Sunday Star, December 1993 Auckland, New Zealand
"...the best I have seen at providing such detailed information...in a clear and understandable fashion." -- Robin Walker, MD, Canadian Paediatric Society News Bulletin, August 1993
