Recenzje

'The distinctly individual writing style of the contributors keeps the reader engaged and their interpretation of published literature provides a unique insight into placental bed research and exposes the controversies that still exist … I thoroughly recommend this book to every obstetrician and basic science researcher who is interested in the field of maternal-fetal and perinatal medicine.'
