Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm looking for a non-fiction book to review for a European history class and I'm at a loss. The time period is 1789-1870. I am hoping for something perhaps in a more narrative style. I'm interested in women's history, childbirth practices during that time, and medical scientific advances (a book on Burke and Hare would not go amiss), dog breeding during that time maybe?
The book should be trying to make some sort of argument or present some sort of idea so I can explain whether the author made their point well.

I ordered that one yesterday!
I've picked three and I'll read them all and see which ones I'll be able to write about best. "The Ghost Map", "The Butchering Art", and "The Doctor Dissected" by Caroline McCracken-Flesher. A bit different than the other two, but I found a copy in my budget and went for it.
