| Summary |
There are people dedicated to improving the way we eat, and people dedicated to improving the way we give birth. This title compares these two social movements and brings insight into the relationship between our most intimate, personal experiences, the industries that control them, and the social movements that resist the industrialisation of life and seek to birth change. |
