Joseph S. Sanfilippo , MD, James and Marjorie Gilmore Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine; Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA  

 
In this revised second edition, an outstanding team of contributors explore the broadest areas of this subspecialty - from the appearance of gender abnormalities in the delivery room through the trials of pubescence, early maturation, and precocious childbearing. This up-to-date text contains high-quality illustrations (including numerous colour plates) and extensive references. Also, the diversity of subjects covered will help the reader understand both the physical and psychological problems which beset the female from birth to adolescence.
