Book Reviews of A Child Is Born
Book Review: Bought it before I realized that some pictures were of aborted babies
Summary: 1 Stars
If aborted(murdered) babies do not bother you, purchase this book. I read that some of the pictures were of aborted babies but was not sure whether it were true. Did some research and confirmed that some of the babies were killed through abortion. Do not buy this book unless you wish to support the author's ethics.Book Review: Buy this book for the pictures - not for the information
Summary: 3 Stars
The pictures are truly mindblowing but a lot of the information is out of date and inaccurate. I would not use this book as a source for maternity information.
On a more minor note it also splits the pregnancy up into strange time periods, sometimes there are several weeks between one update and the next, which is weird for such a picture heavy text.
That said the pictures are great and worth the price. (Even if they are mostly the same ones from the 1970s Nilsson Life Magazine spread.) If you want a good resource when expecting, this is not it. The parts with the out of date info are not only irritating but occasionally dangerous and contradict what is written in several other books Dr. Sears books are a very good choice comprehensive and non-judgmental and, some say, not as scary as What to Expect.
Book Review: EL PRINCIPIO DE LA VIDA
Summary: 5 Stars
Un volumen que, junto a su libro complementario "LIFE" (del mismo autor), es una impresionante muestra de la perfeccion del divino arquitecto en su maxima creacion: el hombre...ilustrado con muy claras imagenes llenas de colorido (fascinantes imagenes tanto del ovulo, los espermatozoides, la concepcion misma y la division celular del huevo), acercamientos muy exactos del embrion en sus primeras fases, magnificas imagenes de ultrasonido del feto, asi como una perfecta guia textual del periodo del desarrollo de los 9 meses del embarazo, que tiene su punto culminante en el parto mismo, todo esto acompañado de las fantasticas fotografias a color del Lennart Nielsen; un libro ideal no solo para futuros padres, sino para toda la familia.Book Review: Educational and cool!

I used this book to show my two older children what was going on inside my body during my last pregnancy! They loved it! Let's hope it's inspired my oldest to become a doctor!Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be very useful. A lot of great pics also. I would recommend this book to anyone who is pregnant.
