Physiology of Adrenocortical Secretion. Frontiers of Hormone Research. Volume 11

ter "The Development of In Vitro Fertilization from Laboratory Animals to Humans," by M.C. Chang, the pioneer in the field, is very interesting from both its historical standpoint and the fact that it is a fine dissertation on comparative reproductive physiology. It points out pertinent applications of animal and laboratory work to human work. The chapter by Lopata and Wood entitled "In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer: Its Clinical Application," even though written two years ago, adds a practical reproductive biologic understanding to this clinically available tool. Although the book is aimed primarily at readers with a specific and concentrated interest in reproductive biology, portions of it would be interesting to any student of biology. It is an excellent contribution to the literature and a pleasure to read.
