The book certainly belongs in every library and should be a graduation gift to each department resident in obstetrics and gynecology.' JAMA 'Complete and up-to-date, this book is extremely well written and laced with numerous recent references following each subsection and many illustrations, graphs, figures and tables to augment the text.'

This is a text for those who care for women, whether as primary care physicians, generalist obstetrician/gynecologists or subspecialists.' Clinical Infectious Diseases Show Less
