From the reviews:

“The objective of this book is to present important and cutting edge topics relevant to infertility in a single volume accessible to all medical specialties involved in the care of infertile couples. … present each topic in a clear manner that will benefit both clinicians and scientists. … This book undoubtedly presents … several important and cutting edge topics relevant to infertility and highlights of emerging controversies and contrasting points which will be useful to reproductive endocrinologists, urologists, andrologists, embryologists and gynecologists.” (Endocrine Regulations, October, 2009)

“This textbook … totalling 22 concise chapters examining the current knowledge in various aspects of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). … aimed … at clinicians, embryologists and clinical nurse specialists who have existing experience and are working day to day in the field. Each chapter provides a background, then a comprehensive review … of the available literature. It is then summarised and extensively referenced to allow readers to explore the area further. … I would thoroughly recommend this text to practitioners.” (Marco Gaudoin, The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, 2010)

“This well written and informative update details breaking news and controversies in reproductive medicine. … the book is written with reproductive endocrinologists and urologists emphasizing male infertility squarely in mind. … The Biennial Review of Infertility is a fine and recommended reference for urologists whose practice includes men who struggle with fertility. It offers a comprehensive update in topics that will allow urologists to communicate effectively with their reproductive endocrinology/ gynecology colleagues.” (Urology, Spring, 2010)
