| By: Barrie G. M. Jamieson ISBN: 157808444X Publisher: Science Pub Inc Release Date: March, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 861084 | I recently turned to these two volumes to seek some general information about bird reproduction in order to explore a few comparative ideas emerging from my own work centered around sperm evolution, reproductive strategies and sexual selection. I could not help being drawn in, and ended up reading all (or at least specific sections of nearly all) chapters. Jamieson assembled an impressive team of authors for these volumes, and the result is uniquely complexioned and integrative coverage of bird reproductive biology. Scholarship generally runs high, with both historical and cutting edge coverage of many subjects. Jamieson's own contribution of an avian spermatozoa chapter is superb...virtually exhaustive treatment of a rather vast and (for me) daunting literature. It will serve as the point of departure for all future work on the subject. <br /> <br />The books themselves are high quality productions and richly illustrated. Given the large number of electron micrographs, histological illustrations and colored clades, etc., the care that went into book production really pays off, and leaves me concluding that these books are well worth the price. I easily recommend them as a necessary part of every university library, and encourage any biologist interested in birds - or more generally in comparative reproductive biology - to keep them on their shelf. | |

| By: Simcha Yagel, Norman H Silverman, Ulrich Gembruch ISBN: 0415432650 Publisher: Informa Healthcare Release Date: 15 September, 2008 Bioscience book rank: 313200 | Working in the field of pediatric echo there are so many wonderful things to review and learn. This book really helped me prepare for fetal boards (ARDMS) and I learned something from each chapter. There are parts that I needed some explanation for which was wonderful, but if one does not have that support this book might be over your head, as it was mine in part. I think this is an excellent book for anyone performing fetal echocardiography. Limitations include limited information about Doppler flow studies and their interpretation. Also, there is limited information about how to get EF and CO on a fetus. No mention of the Tei index. Otherwise, this is a comprehensive book in understanding the pathophysiology of fetal heart. The chapter on the venous system is exceptional. This is a great book it has very good pictures. I really recomend it to any one related to fetal care.... | |
