Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, The Placenta: From Development to Disease is a clinical guide to identifying and managing problems in pregnancy associated with the placenta. Not only does this useful text detail the normal development of the placenta and fetus, a major component of the book focuses on abnormal placenta development and the resulting threats to the fetus and mother. Enhanced information is available throughout in helpful feature boxes highlighting "Clinical Pearls" and "Research Spotlights." The Placenta: From Development to Disease is the only clinical guide to this key organ.
