The Infertility Manual, 2nd Edition

Assisted Reproduction is one of the fastest growing areas of medicine. Having been introduced in 1978 with the birth of Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby , the field of infertility has been broadened so far that it is no longer a mere sub-category of gynaecology, but is in fact a major medical discipline. The second edition of 'The Infertility Manual' contains innovations and case studies dealing with all aspects of human reproduction:- male and female infertility, gene technology, blastocyst culture and assisted hatching, providing information to both scientists and clinicians at all levels of expertise.
