Contraception: Your Questions Answered

1 review
John Guillebaud

Churchill Livingstone, 2008

An essential guide for health care professionals.
This is a question and answer book. It is not easy to read as a narrative but is excellent for a problem solving approach. As a General Practitioner, I use this book several times each week. It is probably a good reference book for the non-professional to use if they want more information about contraception. There is a new edition arriving soon...

Contraception: A History
Robert Jütte

Polity, 2008

Contraception is not an invention of modern times, nor is it a purely personal matter. Social institutions such as the church and the state have exerted their influence as effectively as doctors, population theorists, and the early pioneers of the feminist movement. All of these claim a special expertise in matters of ethics and morality, and so have shaped the discourses on and practices of birth control over the centuries. In this engaging ...

"Catholics and Contraception" (Some Clues as to Why Catholic Teaching Gets Misconstrued)
While browsing through a college bookstore, I recently came across Catholic University of America (CUA) Professor Leslie Woodcock Tentler's "Catholics and Contraception: An American History" (Cornell University Press, 2004) - one of fourteen books from Notre Dame's Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism. In 335 pages covering 125 years, Tentler offers little evidence of appreciating ...

Ardentmedia, Inc, 2004

Excellent reference book
I purchase the newest edition every year. It is concise, logically laid out, and meets my needs as a busy nurse working in college health. My only complaint is the small print, becoming more of an issue the older I get! Hee hee! But hey, that's what glasses are for!

A touching, sensitive book--will help you be a better person
It takes a special person to do and compile this many nice things! Dr. Hatcher's sensitivity, humor, and candor allow him to understand human nature and connect with people in a way that is becoming a lost art. These thoughtful suggestions truly helped me consider the nice things that I do--and how I would like to do more of them!

Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance

4 reviews
John M. Riddle

Harvard University Press, 1994

Fascinating and tantalizing
Looking for information about birth control options is frustrating. This book tantalizes the reader with the possibilities but unfortunately, as the author points out, it is impossible to find real methods without trial and error, which is not an acceptable risk for most of us! It is fascinating to learn that birth control was possible even before vulcanized rubber and the pill, and there ...

The Contraception Guidebook: Options, Risks, and Answers for Christian Couples

3 reviews
William R. Cutrer, Sandra L. Glahn

Zondervan, 2005

Excellent Resource for engaged and married couples!!
This book offers sound medical advice while encouraging you to seek God's Will. If only we could find OB/GYNs out there that offered the same thing. Too many people blindly accept hormonal birth control without realizing the risks and ethical issues surrounding it. This book really explains the risks without making you feel "dirty" for using them. It leaves the choice up to the reader. But ...

Emergency Contraception: The Nations Best Kept Secret

Choice: True Stories of Birth, Contraception, Infertility, Adoption, Single Parenthood, and Abortion

6 reviews
Karen E. Bender and Nina de Gramont

MacAdam/Cage, 2007

Incredible, powerful book
This is absolutely one of the most emotionally powerful, though-provoking, conviction-challenging books I have read in a number of years. I only wish I could give it six stars. It is NOT, as some might think, all about the choice to have an abortion. It is about all the emotional, mental, and moral complexities of ANY pregnancy, and the desires, decisions, fears, and longings that go along ...

The Contraception Sourcebook

Elizabeth Connell

McGraw-Hill, 2001

The Contraception Sourcebook
This book is a comprehensive review of contraception, past, present, and future. It is well written and organized, in a style that is easy to ingest and with the occasional droll aside. I particularly enjoyed the "History of Contraception" chapter and the provocative chapter entitled "The Current Status of Contraception." There are many misconceptions about contraception. Dr. Connell provides the ...

New Perspectives On Contraception

2 reviews

One More Soul, 1999

The cover art alone says it all!
Drawing upon a variety of resources, Scripture, and cultural examples Dr. Donald DeMarco presents a solid case for contraception's damaging effects upon individuals, marriages, and society as a whole. His message is not one heard in the popular media of the day. Philosophical, yet practical, the book demonstrates that knowledge and true love (not contraceptive love) are the cure for the ...

Contraception: A History of Its Treatment by the Catholic Theologians and Canonists (Belknap Press)

1 review
John T., Jr. Noonan

Harvard Univ Pr, 1986

Fantastic!
Every catholic man or woman needs to read this book. No, every Christian who holds the historical Christian faith. Noonan carefully studies the history of contraception without arriving at any facile conclusions. It makes one ponder (indeed, I am not yet done thinking about what the Church's teaching demands...)

Contraception and Abortion in Nineteenth-Century America (Cornell Paperbacks)

2 reviews
Janet Farrell Brodie

Cornell University Press, 1997

Parting the Gilded Curtain
We are so dazzled by the gilded Victorian that we often refuse to look at the evidence of ordinary human needs and desires in the 19th century. Ms Brodie examines 100 years of attitudes and practices regarding an important aspect of marital reality -- the need to limit family size. The result is a fascinating examination of a topic that is usually ignored and often considered either ...
