Reviews
“This is a very important contribution to the understanding and clinical approach to a serious, life threatening obstetrical syndrome. James Martin and colleagues have combined basic science with evidence based practice, and a decades long clinical experience, to produce one of the classical and most authoritative publications on the topic. The book is well organized, and should find a place in the library of all obstetrical services.” – Maurice L. Druzin, Stanford University School of Medicine – Obstetrics & Gynecology
