The Ethics of Manipulating Human Reproduction c.r. Austin Reproduction in Mammals is designed as a basic text to meet the needs of undergraduates reading Biology, Zoology, Physiology, Medicine, Agriculture and Veterinary Science, and as a companion work to clinical textbooks of obstetrics and gynaecology. It should also be of value to more advanced students and to research workers requiring a succinct treatment of topics in the field of mammalian reproduction. It is written in a lively style, copiously illustrated with line drawings, and published as five slim volumes. These deal with Germ Cells and Fertilization and the reproductive cycles in which these are involved : Embryonic and Fetal Development from conception to parturition, and its experimental manipulation : Hormones in Reproduction and the way in which hormones control the reproductive activities of the male and female : Reproductive Patterns with a discus¬ sion of species differences, reproductive behaviour, and the effects of environmental factors : Artificial Control of Reproduction with particular emphasis on problems of human fertiUty and the ways in which we may be able to combat them. The aim throughout this series has been to present an up-to-date and highly readable comparative account of mammalian reproduction, written by experts, in the belief that it is just as important for the zoologist to imderstand something about human reproduction as it is for the medical student to have some fundamental knowledge of reproductive biology.
