Caring for Calypso’s Daughters: A History of Maternity Care in a Central Mediterranean Island by Charles Savona Ventura This book deals with the history of maternity and child care since antiquity up to the present time in Central Mediterranean Islands. No branch in medicine can claim a longer history then the art of midwifery, and while the practice of medicine is in a continuous state of evolutionary progress with today’s advances being considered outdated and outmoded tomorrow, the basis of obstetric problems have remained the same albeit managed differently. Since the work reviews an important aspect of social history, the book should be of value to historians and scholars to help them relate changing social circumstances to health developments.
