Although there is an ever-increasing number of sources of information on specific aspects of fetal development, there is no single, all embracing text which focuses on the fetus and its physiological relationship to its mother. The Textbook of Fetal Physiology fills that need. This book succinctly presents the principles of fetal physiology, with clear illustrations. The chapters are be broad in scope, and their relevance to clinical practice is addressed where relevant.
