This second edition offers an expanded and updated history of the
field of fetal and neonatal development, allowing readers to gain a
comprehensive understanding of the biological aspects that
contribute to the wellbeing or pathophysiology of newborns. In this
concluding opus of a long and prominent career as a clinical
scientist, Dr. Longo has invited new contributions from noted
colleagues with expertise in various fields to provide a historical
perspective on the impact of how modern concepts emerged in the
field of fetal physiology and contributed to the current attention
paid to the fetal origins of diseases in adults. In addition to new
chapters on maternal physiology and complications during pregnancy,
others trace the history of the Society for Reproductive
Investigation, governmental funding of perinatal research, and
major initiatives to support training in the new discipline of
maternal fetal medicine, including the Reproductive Scientist
Development program. The extensive survey provided by the author,
who personally knew most of the pioneers in the field, offers a
unique guide for all clinical and basic scientists interested in
the history of - and future approaches to diagnosing and treating -
pathologies that represent the leading causes of neonatal mortality
and, far too often, life-long morbidity.
