Review quotes

"The chapters are clearly demarcated, with a starting color strip to help locate each chapter in the book and with the now traditional summary recommended management options, which makes it very practical in daily use. The tables and figures are in color as well, which makes them more attractive and easier to read. This book is a must have for all labor wards in the secondary and tertiary pregnancy care and delivery facilities, and many obstetricians in such units may also wish to won a personal copy."
