Necessary reading
If you really want to know what to expect when you're expecting, read this book and Henci Goer's ThinkingWoman's Guide to a Better Birth.If you'dreally like to remove yourself from the technobirth machine, read Ina May Gaskin's Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and Spiritual Midwifery.If you've always thought you might want a natural birth, read Peggy O'Mara's Having a Baby, Naturally.And remember this one thing:If you really (really) want a natural, unmedicated birth, don't give birth in a hospital.

Wonderful and thoughtful reading experience!
If you are a woman looking for a thoughtful review of our modern birthing culture this is a wonderful book.I have read a lot about birth options, perspectives of the birth experience, and midwifery history and philosophy but went away wanting for more.My desire to really explore an informed text about our birthing culture was finally satiated by this book.I am not an anthropologist by training and yet found the book accessible, educational, and challenging.I really suggest this book be read by everyone interested in the birth experience, partners, attendants, birthing woman, or children of technocracy.

An amazing look into the technocracy of birth.
This was a paradigm blowing must read for any woman. A fluid read and with intense narratives. The most educational book I've read in a long time. ... Read more

No thank you
I bought this book after being diagnosed with endometriosis.In my case, the diagnosis had been completely unexpected and I was looking for some answers in regards to how this disease would effect my life.
A good starting point
Recently diagnosed with endometriosis, I went searching for a book that would help me get a handle on the disease. This is a good reference guide, giving clear, concise and up-to-date information. It's well-balanced, providing information about medical and alternative options; it does not advocate one particular course of action but aims to educate the reader about the options that are out there. I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend the book highly.

A Must-Have for all Concerned with the Disease
While there are many books about Endometriosis available on the market, none have offered readers accurate, current clinical data *and* lent such a voice to the global Endo community.This is truly a collaborative effort, featuring the best from both the professional and lay communities within the pages.Kerry-Ann is to be commended on her superb work and authorship.The unique approach she has taken will benefit every woman or girl with the disease - and their loved ones and doctors alike.*Everyone* concerned with Endometriosis must have this book. ...

A leading book on reproductive ethics
I found this book extremely well conceived and substantively outstanding.It provides a set of essays by philosophers, lawyers, sociologists, doctors, theologians, etc. in which critical ethical and policy issues raised by the new reproductive technologies are addressed.Moreover, it provides descriptions of policies and procedures at four different sorts of egg donation centers in various parts of the country.Finally, it provides recommendations by a board funded by respected foundation grantors and composed of people who would have been appointed to a public board were Congress and the President willing to have one on this controversial subject.It's a must for anyone who wants to know what is going on in this field. ...

A straightforward, down-to-earth "must-read"
Doctors and clinical professors at the UCLA School of Medicine, Arthur L. Wisot and David R. Meldrum have expertly collaborated to create a comprehensive and thoroughly "reader friendly" 360-page introductory guide to In Vitro Fertilization and other assisted reprouction techniques. Intended especially to educate those considering such fertility procedures, Conceptions & Misconceptions covers common causes of infertility, tests that infertile couples seeking treatment need to undergo, the risks and preparations needed for multiple births, alternative treatments for infertility, and much more. A straightforward, down-to-earth "must-read" for any couple seeking information on this often difficult or painful subject.
Must Have Book for Assisted Reproduction
Conceptions & Misconception is truly the "must have" book for any couple faced with assisted reproduction. Whether you are just starting out and wondering if you should see your doctor about your difficulties conceiving or whether you have been at it for a while and have seen your fair share of doctors with little to show for your efforts, this book will offer you insight, information, perspective and most importantly, hope. Great Book!!
This is a great book!I recommend it to anyone that is having any problems having a baby!I also recommend it to friends and family of people having problems having a baby.I think it would help them understand what the person is going through. ... Read more

Groundbreaking Work
This book is only outdated BECAUSE it was among the first in its class to explore the concept that a woman is allowed and supposed to gain pleasure from sex and deliver that idea to the public. In that regard it is an amazing piece of sexual education literature. The revised edition was released in the early 80s, but I believe it was written much earlier than that. It was written during a time when women (and men) were much less informed about the female anatomy, and there are numerous accounts in this book of women being embarassed by their orgasms because they were misunderstood. I believe that this book is helpful not only to the women of the time it was written but to women today. I read this book knowing full well what a G Spot was and what it did but I still found the history of it to be quite fascinating. In reading this book I not only came to more fully understand my own body and how it works but also what I can do to help it work more efficently and to my best sexual advantage. This book changed my sex life in an amazing way and for that I will always be grateful.

No useful information
This book was a boring weak monograph on a subject that needs new coverage.Instead of covering Fokorg's or Hammil's new theories and suggestions on stimulating the G-spot and explosive orgasm, this bookbrought me back to the 60s asking does a G-spot exist?and gave thereader endless detail to prove that it does.As a Gynecologist, I havebeen taught and I have taught that a G-spot exists for nearly 30 years.Asa woman I was bored endlessly by a book that offered little to no newinformation on the G-spot and no information on stimulating the G-spot.Donot buy. THIS BOOK IS NOW 0UT-DATED
The belief that the G-spot does not exist is just as dogmatic as the insistance that it does! I suppose if the book gets people to talk and explore, it is almost worth the money, but every woman needs to find outabout her own body, by herself and with her partner, and not try to live upthe to expectations portrayed in this book - like the myth that G-spotstimulation will inevitably lead to a female ejaculation. Forget thesuper-sex pressures of sex books like this and just explore. ... Read more

A serious amalgamation of cutting-edge academic study
Biological Substrates Of Human Sexuality is an anthology of scholarly essays written by experienced scientists concerning the biological substrates of human sexuality. Originating with a conference on this topic at the beginning of a meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality in June 2002, Biological Substrates Of Human Sexuality covers topics ranging from the role of genetics in sexual orientation, to pharmacological modulation of sexual function, and a great deal more. A serious amalgamation of cutting-edge academic study intended especially for scholars and scientists, Biological Substrates Of Human Sexuality is very highly recommended for professional and college/university library Biology, Human Sexuality and Psychology reference collections.

Great Read in 5 minutes
I really liked this book. It was short, sweet, and to the point. It was very easy for my husband to read and understand.

Too short
Much too generic.Just buy How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby for more detailed information.

An excellent choice and easy read!!
What I loved so much about this book was how short it was! Honestly, I am not a fan of reading hundreds of pages of something I really want to know about quickly. I have heard only good things being said about this book, and highly suggest it to anyone looking to conceive. ... Read more
