As a midwifery lecturer teaching on the undergraduate BSc Hons Midwifery degree, I found this book fantastic for the level 4 A&P module. The content was easy to read and understand and I highly recommended the book to my students. The content was exceptional.

Essential core text for midwifery education. Childbirth in Context is an essential chapter to consider the social aspect of the childbearing continuum.

Elizabeth Greene

The 17th edition of Mayes' Midwifery maintains it's place as a core reference text for midwives. This latest edition has been extensively updated, and has a great amount of helpful case studies, figures, images, and tables. Mayes' Midwifery continues to be a highly valuable addition to the reading lists of undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programmes for students, midwives, and maternity care professionals.
