Reviews
- " Infertility in Practice is an outstanding book that provides a practical guide for those involved in the mangement of infertility . I found it a joy to read . Although it may have been intended primarily for clinicians, it will also be an invaluable guide for nurses, scientists and counsellors involved in this area. The book provides a vital update for general gynaecologists and much of the contents will be of interest to experienced sub-specialists. It is essential reading for clinicians new to the field of infertility treatment. "
Philip Taylor, The Fertility Centre, South Cleveland Hospital, UK
- " Infertility in Practice is a well written and concise review of infertility evaluation and treatment. As the book is entirely written by two authors the style is consistent and the book flows easily from one chapter to the next. There are many clear and instructive illustrations, ultrasonographic images, and MRI images throughout that add a visual representation to the text. .......In summary this is a well organized and practical clinical guide that covers not only basic infertility but also more challenging areas such as psychological counseling, ethical issues, and the termination of therapy. This book is best suited to the general obsterician-gynecologist and the subspecialist who seeks a general review of infertility. "
