Publisher's Synopsis
No matter how science has progressed, childbirth, in essence, has remained unchanged from ancient times.[It] is the last natural process left to us,' writes internationally lauded obstetrician Dr. Tadashi Yoshimura. 'The fact that it has remained unchanged means that there is truth in it.' The truth and power of birth is the subject of Dr. Yoshimura's book; he describes babies born so directly into the arms of their mothers that they do not cry, and women so transformed with pride and passion in their ability that they are joyous and forever changed.'
