Summary
Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, The Placenta: From Development to Disease is a clinical guide to identifying and managing problems in pregnancy associated with the placenta. Not only does this useful text detail the normal development of the placenta and fetus, a major component of the book focuses on abnormal placenta development and the resulting threats to the fetus and mother.
