Product Description

Book Description

Centered around the health of the human female throughout the lifespan, Biology of Women continues to provide a basic framework upon which health related issues can be discussed. Now in its fourth edition, the text remains unique due to its biological depth for medical professionals with the readability for non-major students. A woman's reproductive life and psychological issues are covered, as well as an examination of the sociological and cultural factors that influence a woman's nutrition and physical activity. New pedagogical features to this edition include case studies, glossary of terms, controversial treatment options, and historical perspectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Biology of Women" Is A MUST READ, Mar 2 2001

By Bets Brown - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Biology of Women (Paperback)

This book has extensive, very readable information on women's biology. Sloane covers women's biology from birth to death. She exposes fads and debunks many myths. She knows the scientific literature and includes up-to-date information. This book is an excellent resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, Sep 8 2005

This review is from: Biology of Women (Paperback)

This book has the unique advantage of being written by a woman. Therefore, it doesn't take the sterile, uninterested stance biology books often taken. Dr. Sloane takes the time to list myths about female anatomy and biology and debunks them one by one. The book also has some helpful diagrams to illustrate the points Sloane hits. The only qualm I have is that the book doesn't have *enough* diagrams, and they are all in black-and-white, so some parts are indistinguishable from others while others are just plain confusing. The book is also highly technical, so a non-biology major will have to struggle with the text as written to understand the technical terminology. (I am a psychology major taking it as a natural science requirement, and I definitely struggle with the book!) All in all, I'd say the new edition is better especially if you have problems with science courses (more colorful; more pictures).
