"This book would certainly be of value to any student midwife. It includes the basics, such as hand maneuvers for normal birth. Even the advanced clinician can benefit from having certain items at his/her fingertips. The advantage particularly is true for unusual events, such as recognizing and managing ectopic pregnancies, appendicitis, or hydatidiform mole."
