Reproductive Health Books

This book is a valuable reference for RNs, LVNs and nursing students. I first became aquainted with Ingall's and Salerno's "Maternal And Child Health Nursing" as an LVN student. I am now an RN in a busy perinatal unit and still refer to it often. It contains virtually all the information needed to come to a basic understanding of this complex topic in an easy to comprehend format.

Karen Propp, a poet, teacher, and, with the help of infertility treatment, the mother of a young son, set out to write *The Pregnancy Project: Encounteers With Reproductive Technology*, in part to create "a new conception myth," but she's done much more: written a memoir that manages to be simultaneously intimate and discreet, a generous description of her own difficult, and ultimately successful quest to have a child via the miracles and dehumanizing horrors of infertility treatment. Her clarity, honesty, capacity to combine feeling and analysis, as well as her thorough explanations of the technology (these not for the faint of heart) are a gift to people struggling with infertility, and to those who love and care for them. Propp writes, "In years to come, when we tell our children the story of how they got here, the petri dish and the ultrasound will be coequal with the birds and the bees." This beautifully written book will be one of the important sources of that new story.

I found this book very fine and very moving. While in infertility treatment, I chose my reading material carefully. I wanted nothing that would discourage me or make me depressed. The Pregnancy Project helped me get through treatment with its positive spin. I compare it to The Empty Lap and A Little Pregnant. Thank you, Karen.

This is a staple on every medical library shelf, and absolutely necessary for med students, nurses and practitioners in surgical units. Well worth the price.

If there is one book that should be in your Lab or Central Supply - this is it. Anything you need to know about the process can be found in this book. Get a copy and refer to it often.

this protocol book helps one remember very quickly a good management strategy for more common as well as rare complications of pregnancies; especially in the community & non medical center setting.

This is a neat concise text which covers almost any problem that you're likely to run into while on an Obstetrical service. The text is clearly divided into problems which facilitate "a fast look-up". Each subject is discussed with critial issues covered, such as statistics, decision trees, and the presence or absence of outcome based protocols. While there are limitations regarding the accuracy of the recommendations, given the publication date, this remains a helpful tool for learning basic obstetrical practice.

This historical work is truly skillful because it focuses on female leaders in reproductive rights and health other than Margaret Sanger. Before reading this book, I was unaware of the many other figures in reproductive health's history, but Rosen uncovers these figures and illustrates why their lives and actions were so important to this historical topic. A must read for women's studies' classes and any person who is interested in this aspect of women's (and society's) history.

Robyn Rosen explores this topic masterfully. This book is sure to be a must read for women's history classes everywhere. Rosen is an academic historian with a dramatic and dynamic writing style. I highly recommend this book.

This is IMHO the definitive of all breast pathology texts out there. Illustrations vary in quality, but the text is solid & clear. Second ed came out in 2001, so we may be due for another update before too long...we will have to wait to see if Dr. Rosen continues to write most of it or turns it over to someone else. There are plenty of controversial & evolving topics (ADH/DCIS & CCC), but this text does an admirable job of dealing with them despite the book's starting to show its age. The Tavassoli text is even older (2nd ed in 1999).

In 2000-01, I had 3 lumpectomies. All my mammograms were negative. The 3rd lump was excised when I was 62. I was a cytotechnologist for Unilab in Tarzana, CA. My medical director, Dr. Adele Hieshima, had a copy of Dr. Rosen's book on breast pathology. We went over it together. I was amazed at how many types of breast cancer there were. Cancer was revealed in my 3rd lumpectomy, but Kaiser could not identify it. They sent my tissue to a specialist in New York. I was surprised to receive the pathology report from Dr. Rosen himself, along with page numbers to consult in his book. His book clarified matters for me so I elected bi-lateral mastectomy. His book and his advice led to early detection and complete recovery. Thank you Dr. Rosen!

Whether you want to regain your potency or enhance it, in almost every case, there`s a method that can work fo you-Viagra is just one of many solutions. Drew presents many answers and solutions that men everywhere (and the women who love them) can benefit from. This is great, since Viagra won`t help at least 30% of men who suffer from ED...and many can`t afford it or won`t use it. It is apparent that there is a tremendous lack of public knowledge about what`s available to cure impotency, and about the many issues connected with using these cures. Everyone wants to have sex whenever they have the urge. This timely book will be very helpful for couples seeking answers and solutions for overcoming ED. The author discusses the impact of Viagra on relationships-a topic fraught with ramifications. He also includes real life stories of other men who recelaimed their virility. Some of the areas Drew covers include: libido,,,marriages...promiscuity...a new baby boom...the mind factor...reproductive capacity...smoking and drinking..responsible and considerate use of new-found potency...Viagra and women...the female orgasm pill...alternative medicine...herbs...vitamins..food supplements..and much more. Since the media broughtr impotence OUT OF THE CLOSET people want more information on Viagra and other solutions. And the social, legal, medical, financial, and relationship implications are just beginning. There has not been this much interest in sexuality since the birth control pill.

With over 40, 000 Viagra prescriptions being written everyday in the USA alone, more questions, issues and situations will arise as Viagra and other new pills(waiting to be released) are integrated into society. This book helps pave the way for people to deal with the many issues arising from this phenomena

Brian Drew`s book, Viagra and the Quest for Potency, gives the reader much more information than other books I have read on this subject. Certainly, the book gives excellent coverage on vital questions such as "How does viagra work?" What is Viagra?" "Under what conditions should it be taken?" and "How does it influence personal relationships?" The reader will find intelligent and comprehensive answers to these questions.

But Drew offers more information than that connected with Viagra. He realizes Viagra may not be suitable for some men; so, the author provides a detailed discussion of additional methods for correcting erectile dysfucntion-methods clinically supported as well as some supported by personal testimonies of numerous men-methods that have proved to be among the best for helping men restore their sexual power. For each method, VIAGRA AND THE QUEST FOR POTENCY presents a clear description including step by step procedures! for application. This additional information is a tremendous improvement over other books I have read on this subject.

In the book, Brian Drew adds his own story to the testimonies of men who have struggled with erectile dysfunction. He shares his successful and aggressive effort to restore his sexual power after he had a prostate cancer operation that destroyed his capacity for erection. Through his research and study of methods to reclaim his sexuality, he discovered methods that worked for him including viagra. He now claims a mission to share his information with other men so that they too can over come erectile dysfunction problems.

VIAGRA AND THE QUEST FOR POTENCY is a book that excites women, holds their interests, entertains and informs them. Women who read the book report a certain quality of voyeurism that urges them to "peek over the fence" and learn about the psycho-physiological dynamics of male sexuality; and they are able to use the information! to help their mates overcome erectile dysfunction when nee! ded.

Brian Drew has taken technical information and translated in language that the mass of people will understand. His writing is clear; his style is witty; and humorous without violating the seriousness of the content.

Social Workers, Therapists and Physicians will be glad to have this book in their professional library.

I highly recommend this book for any family going thru Leukemia. When my friends little boy was diagnosed 1 week ago with leukemia, I set out immediatley to find a book written for children that would explain to this little boy what was happening to him. I found and read a few good books on this topic, but this one is by far the best one I found. It is very thorough, but explained well. Every family going thru Leukemia, should have this book. It was also helpful for my own children so that they too could understand what is happening to their friend.

Recently,my six year old daughter was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Her doctor immediately gave us a copy of You and Leukemia. As a beginning reference, the book helped to explain the terms, challenges and struggle we were about to face. I have purchased copies for all of the family members so that everyone can begin to understand leukemia. Writing in a thorough but simple manner, Baker has produced an important resources for patients and their relatives.

The book is available now and I love it !!!! I recommend it to all women

Written by two European experts in the field, it an excellent book that reviews the causes and outcomes of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
