Fertility and Pregnancy: An Epidemiologic Perspective, is a lively
overview of human reproduction: how it works, and what causes it to
go wrong. Weaving together history, biology, obstetrics,
pediatrics, demography, infectious diseases, molecular genetics,
and evolutionary biology, Allen Wilcox brings a fresh coherence to
the epidemiologic study of reproduction and pregnancy. Along the
way, he provides entertaining anecdotes, superb graphs, odd tidbits
and occasional humor that bring the topic to life.
The book is divided into two sections. The first lays the
foundations - the basic principles of reproductive physiology,
demography, infectious diseases, and genetics as they apply to
human reproduction. The second part deals with the endpoints of
reproductive epidemiology - a spectrum ranging from infertility and
fetal loss to birth defects and the delayed effects of fetal
exposures. The book closes with a discussion of unsolved problems,
suggesting possible research projects for a new generation of
epidemiologists. An extensive glossary makes this a valuable
reference as well as an enjoyable read.
