Good books to read for a natural and/or home birth?

Expecting baby number two and want to go all natural this time (*almost* made it last time). A home birth would be nice but not sure if possible. Want to look in to more info about both. Hoping to pick them up from the library. Any personal advice is welcome too. Thanks :)

    Hypnobirthing by Marie Mongan ( I think thats her name I know er last name is Mongan, not sure on her first name)

    This book helped me so much when I had my first child. Child birth was a breeze, the methods in this book really work but start reading it at the beginning of your pregnancy, so that you will be able to practice everything before you go into labor.

    I am planning on having the rest of my children the same way. No drugs all natural.

    Get the book, Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way. The book even contains what you need to practice. I used the Bradley method four times. It works great. I had my babies at a birth center because the hospitals around here will not allow natural childbirth.
