I haven't seen the book yet, but anything that comes out of The Farm, and
which is intended for the general public, is likely to have a tone that
serious researchers and knowledgeable people would find too light. That's
not to derogate The Farm. My earliest instruction in midwifery came from
them and I think they are fantastic people. But much of what they publish
is meant for the newest beginner, and it sounds as though this book fits
that description.
