The process of labor and delivery has been one of the most perilous activities in human life. The awkward evolutionary compromises giving rise to humans makes birthing potentially life threatening for both mother and child.

Aimed at both trainee and practicing obstetrician–gynecologists, this new edition includes practical guidance such as algorithms, protocols, and quick–reference summaries. It is squarely focused on the process of birth and concentrates on modern clinical concerns, blending science with clinical applications.
