Contributors from midwifery, obstetrics, neonatology, anaesthesiology, psychiatry, and general practice across multiple countries provide multidisciplinary, internationally relevant coverage. Chapters reflect contemporary practice with coverage of non-traditional families, transgender care, domestic violence, and antenatal and neonatal vaccination. Dedicated sections address human factors, patient safety, and learning from adverse outcomes. Patient advocates contribute as authors, grounding clinical guidance in lived experience.

Reunited with his adult son while awaiting a liver transplant, becoming a famous sperm donor (to Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher), coming back from a crippling motorcycle accident, losing his house in an earthquake, and through it all making beautiful music, David Crosby once again reveals all with self-skewering humor and honesty—as only he can. A true rock-and-roll survivor, David Crosby has not slowed down since his New York Times bestselling memoir Long Time Gone. Life continues to be full of amazing ups and downs for the founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.    “A fascinating life worthy of a sequel.”—Entertainment Weekly
