Whether offering insight into the rise in home births, the alarming rise in America's maternal mortality rate, or the history of involuntary sterilization, Karkowsky offers a window into all that pregnancy, labor, and birth can entail--birth and joy, but also challenge and loss--illustrating the complexity of reproductive life and the systems that surround it. With historical insight and journalistic verve, Karkowsky unpacks what is involved for women, for a family, and for us as a society; and explores what's at risk when these aspects of medicine remain clouded in mystery and misinformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chavi Eve Karkowsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631495011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631495014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.70w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2020 pg. 20","brand":"Chavi Eve Karkowsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047135113471,"sku":"9781631495014","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9731f2c3-025a-4b51-9c58-fae1d89a65bc.jpg?v=1684988462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/high-risk-chavi-eve-karkowsky-9781631495014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
