"Fertility and Pregnancy: An Epidemiologic Perspective offers an 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."--BOOK JACKET.
