This series of volumes represents a comprehensive and integrated
treatment of reproduction in vertebrates from fishes of all sorts
through mammals. It is designed to provide a readable, coordinated
description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as
well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive
research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each
chapter and each volume is intended to stand alone as a review of
that topic or vertebrate group, respectively, the volumes are
prepared so as to provide a thorough topical treatment across the
vertebrates. Terminology has been standardized across the volumes
to reduce confusion where multiple names exist in the literature,
and a comprehensive glossary of these terms and their alternative
names is provided.
About the Editors
Dr. David O. Norris is a Professor in the Department of Integrative
Physiology at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Dr. Richard E.
Jones is Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado. The
editors have collectively studied endocrinology and reproduction of
fishes, amphibians, and reptiles for more then 70 years. They
previously edited "Hormones and Reproduction in Fishes, Amphibians,
and Reptiles" (1987). This series represents a revision of that
offering and is expanded to include birds and mammals.
Additionally, Dr. Norris is the author of the textbook "Vertebrate
Endocrinology" (2007, 4th edition) and Dr. Jones is co-author of
the textbook "Human Reproductive Biology" (2006, 3rd edition).
*A complete, essential and up to date reference for research
scientists working on vertebrate hormones and reproduction - and on
animlals as models in human reproductive research.
*Covers the endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology,
behaviour and anatomy of vertebrate reproduction.
*Structured coverage of the major themes for all five vertebrate
groups allows a consistent treatment for all.
*Special chapters elaborate on features specific to individual
vertebrate groups and to comparative aspects, similarities and
differences between them.

The fourth edition of "Human Reproductive Biology" emphasizes
the biological and biomedical aspects of human reproduction,
explains advances in reproductive science and discusses the choices
and concerns of today. Generously illustrated in full color, the
text provides current information about human reproductive anatomy
and physiology. This expansive text covers the full range of topics
in human reproduction, from the biology of male and female systems
to conception, pregnancy, labor and birth. It goes on to cover
issues in fertility and its control, population growth and family
planning, induced abortion and sexually transmitted diseases. This
is the ideal book for courses on human reproductive biology, with
chapter introductions, sidebars on related topics, chapter
summaries and suggestions for further reading.
Beautifully redrawn full-color illustrations complement completely
updated material with the latest research results, and clear,
logical presentation of topics Covers the basic science of
reproduction - endocrinology, anatomy, physiology, development,
function and senescence of the reproductive system - as well as
applied aspects including contraception, infertility and diseases
of the reproductive system New companion website features
full-color illustrations as PPT and jpeg files for both professors
and students to use for study and presentations
