Kevin P. Hanretty MD FRCOG0443072671, 9780443072673, 9781417540433

A clear, very visual textbook of obstetrics for medical students and midwives, that includes background anatomy and physiology as well as a clear account of standard obstetric practice. Focuses solely on obstetric practice instead of OB/GYN so the subject can be covered in detail and illustrates every concept with clear line drawings.
