Get Me Out: A History of Childbirth / Randi Hutter Epstein 249 p.

This is full of information but the presentation is a little incoherent (surprisingly). Randi H.E. has a column in the Tuesday Science Times section of the NYT which I generally enjoy. She concentrates primarily in late 20th century history here, and I would have preferred more early history as well as non-western cultural information. Still, it's engrossing and quick. (Unlike most delivery experiences - sorry, I couldn't resist!)
