 A must for learning about sexual developement and reproduction~ September 23, 2009
Sandra Bonifant (Poolesville, MD)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I used the previous version of this book in a reproductive endocrinology class several years ago and learned so much (it's a shame how much we don't know about our own bodies)!!! Unfortunately some of the info became outdated (to be expected with cutting-edge science) so I wanted a latest and greatest version. I couldn't be happier with the revisions and updated info!!!
Great purchase! September 14, 2007

I purchase this book and it arrived within 3 days, much sooner than I expected. It is in perfect condition, and I have no complaints. I am very satisfied with the purchase!
Great! February 15, 2008

This seller is awesome! The book came on time and it was brand new. I have no problems and no complaints. If you want to know more about the reproductive aspect and sex, this book is great!
 Great Idea, Poorly Written May 9, 2007
Douglas Long (San Rafael, CA USA)
I was looking forward to reading this book, and very disappointed. This is the top book for reproductive physiology, and it's the best of what's out there. But what amazed me was that it can be the top seller and still be so poorly written.
What exactly is it about the writing that is weak? The authors provide explanations for some terms/concepts that are incredibly basic (like what is a hormone). But when they get into to meat of the subject, they neglect to provide the "big picture" and instead start laying out the plumbing of girls and boys. My previous courswork in human physiology was the only thing that helped me figure out what they were trying to say.
Nice graphics are actually a distractor, more eye candy and weakly tied to the text.
