this book shows how babies are cared for and in some ways even honoured in seven societies around the world.some manuals are written by family members and others by respected members of the society in question(fictional members of course) this is a good book,a change from other baby books in the sense that it is not boring and it may even give you a few tips on improving your relationship with you child or caring for them better
Informative and Amusing

Loved "A World of Babies"

Wonderful perspective(s) on raising kids! DeLoache and Gottlieb have succeeded in making "A world of Babies" amusing, yet there's that serious undercurrent of promoting understanding. I recommend it for young moms and dads -- there are lots of good ways to bring up babies. This grandma enjoyed it tremendously. As my own mom used to say, you can make all kinds of mistakes rearing children, but as long as you give them lots of love they'll turn out fine.
