The Fetus and Neonate is a series of practical, focused texts which concentrate on that critical period of human development, from late fetal to neonatal life. Each volume in the series examines a particular body system, looking at the physiological mechanisms which underlie the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life, and the pathophysiological processes which may occur in this period. Each volume will consider the application of new basic scientific knowledge to the clinical situation. This series will be a valuable source of information to practitioners and postgraduate trainees in obstetrics, neonatology, paediatrics and reproductive medicine, as well as to basic scientists in these fields.
- New series of authoritative reviews in fetal and neonatal medicine
- Adopts a 'systems' approach to the subject, for easy reference
- Integrates basic science and clinical applications, and discusses the latest developments in scientific research and technological developments
Reviews & endorsements
"Overall, this book meets the intended goals that the series organizers proposed. Although it is multi-authored, the writing is uniformly good. It should be useful to a variety of readers, including medical students interested in neonatal medicine; residents in reproductive medicine, pediatrics and neonatology; basic scientists conducting research in these fields; and practitioners who desire an updating review. For anyone in the aforementioned categories, this is highly recommended reading." Colin M. Bloor, Quarterly Review of Biology
