Principles and Practice of Assisted Human ReproductionThis remarkably authoritative new book presents a complete overview of reproductive endocrinology, infertility, assisted reproduction, and in vitro fertilization. It encompasses the full range of scientific and clinical advances in the field, from the development of the world's first "test tube" baby to the assisted reproductive technologues which now allow human conception to occur in otherwise hopeless cases of infertility. The senior author is the world's preeminent scientist in human embryology and assisted reproduction. He was the first scientist in history to achieve in vitro fertilization of a human egg, and pioneered this subspecialty of medical and scientific practice. |
