Generations of American nurses learned their profession from this textbook. Carolyn Van Blarcom, the first American nurse licensed as a midwife, covers anatomy, physiology, pregnancy, labor and newborn care in systematic detail across a full training course. Authoritative in its day and historically fascinating now. The delivery room, documented by its finest teacher.
