Easy to read...
A well written, easy to read book covering all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology that medical students are likely to encounter, allowing for maximum retention of relevant, interesting information in a short period of time. Topics include history taking; gynaecological and obstetric examinations; normal and abnormal pregnancies; development of the foetus and newborn infant; female development from pre-puberty to post-menopause. Psychosocial issues of women's health are emphasised, especially in relation to situations such as post-natal depression, abnormal cervical smears, sexual abuse and infertility. The use of colour photographs and figures throughout complement and enhance the readability of the book.

contains enough info, but a little hard to study from
Hmmmmm - maybe it's the faraway hills effect, but I bought this while other peers bought Lawrence Impey's book, and looking at both I think for an undergrad Impey's book is much clearer and easier to learn from. In the end I used my lecture notes and Stirrat's AIDS to Obs/Gynae a lot more than this book, using it mainly as a reference. I know some people disliked Impey's book but for the undergrad, I'd recommend it.
