Recenzje

'Once or twice in a generation, a book is published that is destined to become a classic. This is such a volume. It is a monumental achievement of scholarship and research. The authors have produced a masterpiece. [They] achieve the seemingly impossible - an account of history that is both meticulous and fascinating.' - From the Forward by J.J. Sciarra, President of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and Thomas J. Watkins, Northwestern University Medical School, USA
