{"product_id":"childbirth-midwifery-and-concepts-of-christine-mccourt-9781845452940","title":"Childbirth, Midwifery and Concepts of Time","description":"All cultures are concerned with the business of childbirth, so much so that it can never be described as a purely physiological or even psychological event. This volume draws together work from a range of anthropologists and midwives who have found anthropological approaches useful in their work. Using case studies from a variety of cultural settings, the writers explore the centrality of the way time is conceptualized, marked and measured to the ways of perceiving and managing childbirth: how women, midwives and other birth attendants are affected by issues of power and control, but also actively attempt to change established forms of thinking and practice. The stories are engaging as well as critical and invite the reader to think afresh about time, and about reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine McCourt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845452941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845452940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Christine McCourt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938936455423,"sku":"9781845452940","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_467b78ee-8ca1-4ac7-b90f-76ae607d0a84.jpg?v=1681438543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/childbirth-midwifery-and-concepts-of-christine-mccourt-9781845452940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
