Birthing from Within is great. The author had a pretty traumatic birth the first time round, and the book is a result of her journey to find out more to help the next time be better.

I'd read many books about birth before I came to Australia in 2004. Finding a few beauts by Aussie authors was great! Loved A Labour of Love too - and was very impressed with GBGM. It was when I read that, that I finally understood the role of birth hormones. This article by Sarah Buckley sums up that part of her excellent book.
