The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
Excerpt from The Family Physician and Guide to Health: A System of Domestic Medicine; Including a Treatise on Midwifery and the Diseases Peculiar to Women I have no apology to offer. I have done the very best I could in preparing the matter for this work. I have diligently consulted the ablest, latest and best authori ties in medical literature, coming from both Europe and America, and have tried hard to present the accepted facts of the history, symptoms and treatment of diseases in plain, simple and common-place language, so that every school boy or girl of intelligence can understand and comprehend them. I have given the' symptoms plainly and laid down the treatment, not only on general principles, but specially, stating exactly what to give, how much of it to give at a time, and how often to giveit. By this means I have placed a great amount of valuable information within easy reach of the common people information, too, upon which may depend their health, happiness or lives, or that of those dependent upon them. I neither deprecate nor invite criticism, believing that the critic has neither a very wide nor profitable field for his fault-finding skill. If my unpresuming book finds favor with the intelligent public, I will be content to let critics fume and fret, and enemies sneer and curl the lip with the scorn they try to feel. A few physicians, from selfish motives, may try to discourage the masses from patronizing the work, but I flatter myself that it will receive the hearty approval of a large majority of those who have kept themselves posted in the standard medical literature of the day. The intelligent physician wants an intelligent and well-informed patient: with such an one his labor is easy and pleasant. It is only those who do not know quite as much as they really should who try to keep the common people in ignorance in regard to the symptoms and treatment of disease. They fear the light of knowledge; they know in it their own feeble light would shine but idimly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

'McWhinney's Textbook of Family Medicine' is one of the seminal texts in the field, defining the principles and practices of family medicine as a distinct field of practice. The fourth edition presents six new clinical chapters of common problems in family medicine.
The author, a nurse-midwife and epidemiologist, brings together the myriad strands of history, culture, science, economics, and policy that have resulted in the current condition of maternity care in the US. While acknowledging the role and importance of medical obstetrics, she argues that the most sophisticated medical treatment does not reflect an understanding of childbearing as both a physiologic process and an important human experience and transition.

Thoroughly revised and updated, the most complete family medicine board review guide continues to be the resource of choice for anyone preparing to take the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) examination. This edition includes dozens of new cases.
Since the previous edition of Ian McWhinney's text was published in 1989, family medicine has assumed an increasingly important role in the modern health care system. The growth of managed care in The United States and of similar movements in other countries has made it more important than ever to define and conceptualize the discipline and to synthesize its body of knowledge and skills. The author brings to this task a lifetime's experience in family practice and academic family medicine. The first edition was widely acclaimed for its originality, depth of analysis, and elegant style. The book has now been extensively revised, while retaining its original structure. The first ten chapters are devoted, as before, to a conceptualization and description of the field, Much new material has been added on the patient-centered clinical method, illness narratives, the biological basis of family medicine, health promotion, the concept of risk, and the contribution of evidence-based medicine. Chapter 9 now includes an authoritative review of evidence-based preventive strategies. The five clinical chapters exemplify the application of basic principles in practice. These have all been updated with the results of new research. The chapters on the practice of family medicine cover such topics as home care, records and practiced management. The revisions of these reflect many changes that have occurred since the first edition. A new chapter on alternative (complementary) medicine fills the need for reliable information on this topic. The book has been designed to be read as a whole, with fundamental ideas forming a continuous thread which runs through all its sections.
