Spontaneous abortion, a pattern of defects labeled fetal alcohol
syndrome, and more subtle behavioral disturbances that occur in the
absence of observable physical anomalies are some of the damaging
effects of alcohol, now recognized as one of the leading known
causes of birth defects in the western world. So grave are the
apparent consequences of drinking alcohol during pregnancy that a
new U.S. law requires warning labels to appear on all alcoholic
beverages. This label represents the culmination of numerous
clinical and experimental studies conducted over the last 15 years.
Prompted by an abundance of new information in the area of fetal
alcohol exposure, this second bibliography on the subject to be
published by Greenwood Press supplements Abel's first volume that
contained 3,000 citations and included literature on the subject
published between 1973 (the year in which fetal alcohol syndrome
was first reported) and 1984. The present volume, covering the
years 1983 to 1988 inclusive contains 1,818 entries and adds some
important new references for the years 1983 and 1984. In number,
breadth, and completeness, the citations contained here go beyond
current data bases. Entries are arranged alphabetically by author
and in the case of multiple citations by author, the citations are
listed chronologically for that author. Where an author has had 2
or more publications in a year, the citations for that year are
listed alphabetically by title. Citations are also listed according
to the number of authors in a manner that provides easy access to
the information. Each item has been numbered consecutively and is
referred to by number in the Subject Index which has been compiled
not only on the basis of title, but also based on the information
contained in the reference. Abel's introduction serves as a
concise, fact-filled overview of this important and timely subject.
Students and scholars in the medical field, as well as alcohol
counselors and others dealing with pregnancy or the affected
children will find this resource invaluable.
