This book still remains the standard reference work on medicaldisorders in obstetric practice in the UK and UK-influenced areassuch as the former Commonwealth. Exhaustive in its coverage, itprovides clear practical advice on the major medical disorders theobstetrician is likely to encounter. Each chapter reviews thepathophysiology of a complaint then applies the physiological andpathophysiological changes to the problem of diagnosis andmanagement of the disorder as well as giving clear guidance on thewelfare of the unborn One of the major strengths of the book isthat each chapter teaches the principles of care and gives anappreciation of the natural history of the disease rather than justthe facts. Although a scholarly and rigourous account it manages topoint out the clinically relevant information that the practisingobstetrician will actually need.
