Aguilar has reorganized her 1980 No Pill, No Risk Birth Control to focus on the positive aspects of natural family planning (NFP). She states a 99.2 percent reliability rate for NFP. Day-to-day evaluation of body signs (basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and cervical changes) is used to determine fertile and infertile days. Part 1 focuses on the biology of fertility; Part 2 is charting methods; and Part 3 discusses benefits and problems, including abstinence, with some discussion of marriage improving because of NFP. The reorganization is useful, and there are minor updates in technique, but the 1980 edition is probably sufficient. Recommended for public libraries if there is a high interest. Jean E.
