In Focus Obstetrics is aimed at all medical and health science students who require an introductory, low cost and highly illustrated guide to this specialty. The material is presented in double page spreads. The left-hand page has a synoptic and highly structured text (normally under the following headings: incidence; clinical features; differential diagnosis; management; prognosis). The right-hand page has a selection of four to six clinical photographs. Obstetrics In Focus is a convenient pocket size and therefore ideal for quick preparation before ward rounds. Each volume also includes self-assessment material, which is extremely helpful for preparation for examinations.

Nausea and vomiting is one of the earliest, commonest and most distressing symptoms associated with pregnancy. However, it is often dismissed as a normal consequence of early pregnancy without acknowledging the immense impact it can have on women and their families. In her latest book, Denise Tiran examines both traditional and complementary approaches to the care of women with this distressing condition. Different theories on the causes of nausea in pregnancy, as well as the current evidence supporting the use of acupuncture, reflexology, herbal remedies and hypnotherapy are discussed. No idea or therapy is discarded and all are properly researched and analysed, with no preconceived ideas or artificial categorisation applied. Finally, the author draws together the two themes of orthodoxy and alternative medicine to present an integrated and holistic approach to care in which complementary therapies can be integrated into conventional maternity care in order to enhance the care of pregnant women.
