This latest volume in the immensely popular Midwifery Practice Series deals with a further set of important issues, this time drawn from all three stages of care during pregnancy. The chapter structure adopted in the first three books is retained, and, as before, presentation of a broad-ranging survey and analysis of key research literature placed in the context of clinical practice is the guiding philosophy behind the whole book.

This fifth volume in the immensely popular series introduces new topics of Midwifery Practice and revisits some topics already discussed in previous volumes. The accessible chapter structure remains the same and a broad range of research themes are presented across the three stages of midwifery practice. The guiding philosophy behind this series is to present research topics within the context of clinical practice and in this volume the editors have put together a subject range which will be of interest to all practicing midwives and students.

Modern midwifery practice should be based on the findings of up-to-date research, which is necessarily changing and dynamic. The Midwifery Practice Series was specifically designed to enable busy practitioners and students to have access to a broad-ranging survey and analysis of the literature in a form that draws out the research-based implications for practice. With the Core Topics' books the Midwifery Practice series is relaunched and updated. The latest research findings and the implications for midwifery care in the wake of the 'Changing Childbirth' report are considered, along with seminal earlier work. The relationship between critically reviewed research findings and good practice remains essential.

This second Core Topics volume specially refers to labour and delivery. The latest findings and the implications for modern midwifery are considered, along with earlier work. The relationship between critically renewed research studies and good practice remains.

The latest volume in this series revisits topics particularly pertinent to the postnatal period. It makes a timely contribution to the literature in the context of recent developments in the organisation of midwifery care, the emphasis on woman-centred care and empowerment, and the reclaiming by midwives of the normal birth and puerperium.
