Atlas of Contraception (ENCYCLOPEDIA OF VISUAL MEDICINE SERIES), 2nd Edition

Family planning is a branch of preventive medicine that can have a profound impact on the health of women and their children. It differs from other branches of medicine in two critical ways: it is only successful when those concerned recognize that consumer choice is more important than physician preference, and in most cases it deals with healthy people. This revised and updated atlas provides a comprehensive guide to modern contraceptive practice. The book is heavily illustrated with color photographs and line drawings that guide readers through the various options available and provide a valuable educational resource. The supporting text offers a concise description of family planning in today's world.
