Publisher Synopsis
"Sanctioning Pregnancy is readable, enjoyable, and eye-opening in its coverage of the stage of the art of pregnancy research. In addition, the content of this book is a valuable example of the process of critical evaluation of a body of literature. As such, it provides its readers with a work that is enlightening, not only by virtue of the content per se, but also for the comprehensive, open-minded, and unbiased method in which that content is presented. ... [Sanctioning Pregnancy] would be useful in teaching the critical thinking process in a wide range of topical areas." -- Lynda M. Federoff in Sex Roles "The book's strength lies in its choice of topics: psychology itself is a broad discipline and its diversity is reflected here. Its accessible writing style and interdisciplinary nature means that it has relevance across a variety of disciplines and levels including sociology, psychology, gender studies and midwifery/healthcare." -- Abigail Locke, Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University.
