Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

In this latest edition of a classic originally published almost 40 years ago, photographer Nilsson and obstetrician Hamberger explore the miracle of birth, from attraction between a man and a woman to fertilization, pregnancy, labor and delivery; they also discuss infertility and developments in IVF and other treatments. Over 350 new photographs have been added to the fourth edition, including in utero pictures captured with endoscopy and three-dimensional ultrasound technology. Nilsson zooms in on sperm racing towards the egg, the brand-new zygote, the embryo clinging to the lining of the uterus, a tadpole-like fetus and the remarkably developed ear of a 18-week old fetus, among other moments in the process of human reproduction. With Hamberger's updated text on guidance for new parents, progress in fertility treatments, genetics and pregnancy health, the volume should continue to be a vivid reference for the whole family.

From School Library Journal

YA-- Completely revised, this book features an all new text and almost all new full-color photos. However, it is not the end-all for books dealing with childbirth. The subject of Chorionic Villus Sampling or CVS (a pregnancy test for damaged chromosomes such as Down's, etc.) is depicted here as similar to amniocentesis, inserting the needle into the abdomen to withdraw a villi from the placenta. Frequently in the U. S. the procedure is performed using a catheter inserted through the cervix. Also, the book does not discuss the increased risk of CVS over amniocentesis. However, the breathtaking photos and comprehensive text make it a must for all libraries.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very good, a bit graphic though, Janv. 5 2004
Par Katy D07 (WI United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: A Child is Born: The Completely New Editon (Paperback)
This book has very fascinating pictures and text. That being said, I have to say that I am surprised after reading reviews that people shared this book with their children. While the early pictures would be fine to share with kids, the later pictures (of childbirth and the bloody placenta) seem to be a bit graphic for kids. My husband and I are not prudes, but we were both a little surprised to see some nude pictures (one of a woman showering, another of a woman bathing) that seemed a bit out of place. Perhaps it is only because we are not so used to seeing nudity here in the United States. I also have the book "From Conception to Birth" and I think I prefer that one to this. I think that one would be a better one to share with children. Also, the format of that book is a bit nicer, it is easier to find what stage you are at in the pregnancy and which pictures correspond. Also, it shows the actual size of the embryo as it grows, which I love. I found myself referring to that book much more than this one. This book is the one to refer to if you want to see pictures of actual childbirth though. I would recommend owning both, as they are both excellent books.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing eye-opener for the unitiated, Mars 17 2004

This review is from: A Child is Born: The Completely New Editon (Paperback)
My wife and I are expecting our first and this book was given to us as a gift. I look at it every single day. It's amazing. I take it to family functions to show relatives. I take it to work.

The photography in this book is out of this world. Wide-angle shots inside the womb showing an entire baby at 7 months. Incredible!

The explanations of how it all works are good too. All in layman's terms and very easy to wrap your head around.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who's expecting.
