Cassidy, Tina. Birth. NY,NY: Grove Press,
      2006. Print.

1. Birth by Tina Cassidy dives into the history of birth and the standard practices and procedures surrounding it. She has far more examples and evidence to match, then Business of Being Born does. Cassidy shows us the history in much more depth, whereas Business of Being Born makes simple connections to highlight atrocities. Cassidy also explores different cultures and BoBB only examines American culture with some insight from foreign doctors.

2. The insight in the second part of the book is the same as the first, a general history of birth and the atrocities associated with it.
3. - The history of baby formula
    - The advancement of birthing technologies
    - The increasing cesarean section rates
    - The changes in labor positions throughout history
4. The author pointed out famous celebrities opting for cesareans, that was weird to me because celebrities tend to go for the all natural/healthiest option. After researching I've found the author's statements to be valid.
