How we do it : the evolution and future of human reproduction / by Martin, R. D.(Robert D.),1942-(CARDINAL)714020;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-288) and index.Sperm and eggs -- Cycles and seasons -- From mating to conception -- Long pregnancies and difficult births -- Growing a large brain -- Feeding babies: a natural history of breast-feeding -- Baby care: the broader picture -- Monkeying with human reproduction."Despite our seemingly endless fascination with sex and parenting, the origins of our reproductive lives remain a mystery. Why are a quarter of a billion sperm cells needed to fertilize one egg? Are women really fertile for only a few days each month? How long should women breast-feed? In [this book], primatologist Robert Martin draws on forty years of research to locate the origins of everything from sex cells to baby care, and to reveal what's really natural when it comes to making and raising babies. He acknowledges that although it's not realistic to reproduce like our ancestors did, there are surprising consequences to behavior we take for granted, such as bottle feeding, cesarean sections, and in vitro fertilization"--Amazon.com.

Birth matters : a midwife's manifesto / by Gaskin, Ina May,author.;
Includes bibliographical references, videography (pages 233-234) and index.The importance of birth and birth stories -- Second-wave feminism, birth, and motherhood -- Sexuality and birth -- A brief look at the history of midwives and medical men -- Technology and empowerment -- Gathering the power of sisterhood -- What's a father-to-be to do? -- My vision for the future -- The kind of obstetrics I miss, and its great defenders.Renowned for her practice's exemplary results and low intervention rates, Ina May Gaskin has gained international notoriety for promoting natural birth. She is a much-beloved leader of a movement that seeks to stop the hyper-medicalization of birth'which has lead to nearly a third of hospital births in America to be cesarean sections'and renew confidence in a woman's natural ability to birth. Upbeat and informative, Gaskin asserts that the way in which women become mothers is a women's rights issue, and it is perhaps the act that most powerfully exhibits what it is to be instinctually human. Birth Matters is a spirited manifesta showing us how to trust women, value birth, and reconcile modern life with a process as old as our species.
