L’andrologia è una disciplina ancora giovane, ma in grande espansione, che spazia su alcuni aspetti fondamentali della vita dell’uomo: dalla sessualità alla riproduzione, dalle patologie tumorali del sistema urogenitale alle patologie andrologiche dell’invecchiamento. Questo volume, tradotto dall’edizione originale inglese, consiste di due parti. La prima, direttamente legata alla pratica clinica, si incentra sulla diagnosi e sulla risoluzione dei problemi in campo andrologico, offrendo dunque al medico l’informazione più adeguata su argomenti come: • L’infertilità maschile • Disfunzioni dell’eiaculazione, dell’erezione e della libido • Tumori e infezioni dell’apparato genitale maschile • Le frontiere della contraccezione maschile • L’invecchiamento nell’uomo La seconda parte contiene invece informazioni scientifiche più dettagliate e approfondite che completano gli argomenti precedentemente trattati, e ne descrivono i meccanismi fisiopatologici e gli strumenti diagnostico-terapeutici più innovativi. Vengono inoltre presentati argomenti fondamentali, raramente affrontati nei testi andrologici, quali le anomalie dello sviluppo sessuale prenatale, le patologie mammarie nell’uomo, le terapie comportamentali, l’estetica chirurgica e la dermatologia. Quest’opera riesce a coniugare una trattazione sintetica, e allo stesso tempo completa, della disciplina, con una veste grafica accattivante, ricca di immagini, che favoriscono la praticità di consultazione e la semplicità di studio. Andrologia Clinica raccoglie i contributi di numerosi esperti internazionali del settore e sarà di grandissima utilità per andrologi, urologi, dermatologi, endocrinologi, ginecologi, medici di medicina generale, geriatri, psicologi, psichiatri pediatri e per tutti coloro che sono interessati ai problemi della sfera riproduttiva e sessuale maschile.

Throughout the 1970's and '80's, women argued that unless they gained access to information about their own bodies, there would be no equality. In Bodies of Knowledge, Wendy Kline considers the ways in which ordinary women worked to position the female body at the center of women's liberation. As Kline shows, the struggle to attain this knowledge unified women but also divided them-according to race, class, sexuality, or level of professionalization. Each of the five chapters of Bodies of Knowledge examines a distinct moment or setting of the women's movement in order to give life to the ideas, expectations, and pitfalls encountered by the advocates of women's health: the making of Our Bodies, Ourselves (1973); the conflicts surrounding the training and practice of women's pelvic exams; the emergence of abortion as a feminist issue; the battles over contraceptive regulation at the 1983 Depo-Provera FDA hearings; and the rise of the profession of midwifery. Including an epilogue that considers the experiences of the daughters of 1970's feminists, Bodies of Knowledge is an important contribution to the study of the bodies-that marked the lives-of feminism's second wave.

Fertility and Pregnancy: An Epidemiologic Perspective, is a lively overview of human reproduction: how it works, and what causes it to go wrong. Weaving together history, biology, obstetrics, pediatrics, demography, infectious diseases, molecular genetics, and evolutionary biology, Allen Wilcox brings a fresh coherence to the epidemiologic study of reproduction and pregnancy. Along the way, he provides entertaining anecdotes, superb graphs, odd tidbits and occasional humor that bring the topic to life. The book is divided into two sections. The first lays the foundations - the basic principles

The world’s population is growing at an unsustainable rate. From a baseline ?gure of one billion in 1800, global population is predicted to exceed nine billion by 2050 and 87. 8% of this growth will be localized in less developed countries. Such uneven population growth will yield a harvest of poverty, malnutrition, disease and en- ronmental degradation that will affect us all. Amongst the complex mixture of political, social, cultural and technological changes needed to address this issue, the development of improved methods of fertility regulation will be critical. The inadequacy of current contraceptive technologies is indicated by recent data s- gesting that the contraceptive needs of over 120 million couples go unmet every year. As a direct consequence of this de?cit 38% of pregnancies are unplanned and more than 50% end in an abortion, generating a total of 46 million abortions per annum particularly among teenagers. If safe, effective contraceptives were ava- able to every couple experiencing an unmet family planning need, 1. 5 million lives would be saved each year (UNFPA 2003). Progress in contraceptive technology should not only generate more effective methods of regulating fertility, but should also provide a range of methods to meet the changing needs of the world’s population. Contraceptive practice was revo- tionized in 1960 in the US and 1961 in Europe by the introduction of the oral contraceptive pill by Gregory Pincus, MC Chang and colleagues, based on fun- mental hormone research conducted in Germany.
