N.B.: This review is for lay readers and is not to be read as an evaluation of the book qua a contribution to the professional medical anthropology reader.Taylor's book reads much like a doctoral dissertation, and so much of the introduction summarizes in a plan of the book what is to follow. In several places in the book lay readers may find more-than-expected space devoted to explaining the analytic procedures followed. Lay readers may also be put off by the repeated use of "ethnography" to characterize the work: in this book, "ethnography" comes down to interviews and observation. Readers from outside North America, also, may have difficulty understanding the text simply because of lack of familiarity with laws and public rhetoric regarding reproduction there.Any readers who ride through the first couple of chapters, however, will be rewarded with an interesting and fine (in both the "good" and "thorough" meanings of the word) book. I, for one, found the highlight to be the thorough and careful and, oddly, thrilling analysis of maternal bonding in Chapter 4.I recommend this to anyone wishing to understand both the situation of medicalization in our lives and ways to analyze that or those situations.
