Rezensionen / Stimmen
[Of the first edition]
This book is excellent ... will have a useful role as a comprehensive text for trainees to gain an overview and as a dip-in reference book. ORGYN, 2001
This is a textbook that I will keep close to hand in my office library, and one that is likely to be useful to specialists and generalists in the fields of obstetrics, neonatology, maternal and fetal medicine both as a reference text and for a detailed overview of individual subjects. Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2002
