cross cultural survey of baby rearing practices?

[1blueheron]

So I'm always wondering, as we go about our day, how baby-rearing is done elsewhere. I've read "Our Babies, Ourselves," and it's decent as far as it goes, but I'm just curious about other resources, possibly something more wide-ranging and recent. (OBOS focuses on just a few cultures.) Ideally looking for books that are more of a survey and aren't agenda-driven (the X tribe does this, so we should too).

Saw this documentary review in the NYT, which looks very interesting, but doubt it's coming to a multiplex near me anytime soon:

Any recommendations?

"babies" the movie was good. i live in milwaukee and they play it here so it's not so hard to find.
really it was more entertainment though. i mean, i didn't get alot of cross-cultural knowledge from it.
the one think i personally thought it was lacking was crying babies. i would have liked to have seen how other cultures react or don't react and soothe their babes. like, there's a couple scenes of the mongolian baby just lying there alone on a bed totally happy which initially gave me the impression that they were doing something amazing to make this tiny baby totally happy and independent until i realized that there were really no crying scenes in the movie (well, there was the tantrum scene which was hee-larious) so i wasn;t getting the whole picture and maybe they had the same unhappy baby issues that we all do.
