Reviews

This book is a great addition to the wider scholarship on breastfeeding discourse. The work is well-suited for scholars and academic libraries, and given its more informal, clear style of writing, could be used effectively in undergraduate courses, particularly social science courses.--Patricia Hamilton, Stellenboch University
