This is detailed, comprehensive and timely account of the spermatozoon and its reproductive function.
'... well written ... well illustrated ... will provide a useful source of information, particularly for trainees in obstetrics, gynaecology and androcology, and especially for those intending to subspecialise in reproductive medicine, for whom it should be essential reading'. Stewart Irvine, British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology '... provides an integrated and multidisciplinary view of the spermatozoon ... a valuable asset to the field of reproductive biology, andrology and reproductive medicine'. Helen D. Nicholson, Experimental Physiology 'A mine of information about spermatozoa ... a single source of detailed review written by scientists who have all made distinguished contributions in their respective specialisms. Few volumes achieve this quality, whilst at the same time remaining portable enough to be carried around easily and read on the train.' W. V. Holt, Journal of Anatomy
