From reviews of previous editions: Winner of the American Medical Writers' Award for Best Multiple Author Text in Medicine 1975: 'when each of the chapters reads equally smoothly with completely lucid narrative and original, highly informative illustrators, one is rapidly alerted to the fact that such a book is a cut above the average multi-authored monograph.' 'This book is one of the best, if not the best multi-authored text I have ever read on this subject ! 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.' American Family Physician 'This text is a must for anyone interested in the topic of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology and is recommended highly by the reviewer.' Journal of the Medical Society of New Jersey 'The format of the book is interesting and useful. The reader can look for a specific group of organisms and read about them in detail or he or she may select a disease process and review the organisms that cause disease.' Mayo Clinic Proceedings 'This edition has been extensively revised and expanded to bring the most current and comprehensive information about infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology to the reader ! This is a text for those who care for women, whether as primary care physicians, generalist obstetrician/gynecologists or subspecialists.' Clinical Infectious Diseases
