Summary
Do not be deceived – this volume contains substantial information on a vast subject belying its compact size. Despite the concise nature of the book it does include appropriate subject detail and an acknowledgement of areas of uncertainty. References and data have been updated from the first edition and thus the contemporary information is of great assistance to the potential MRCOG candidate or for those who want to update their knowledge at any career stage. I hope you find this an informative read.
