SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Menstrual disorders.

Ed. by Deborah Ehrenthal et al.

1-930513-66-6

For physicians, this volume combines information from the fields of internal medicine, gynecology, adolescent medicine, and other subspecialties in a discussion of menstrual disorders. Ehrenthal (internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology, Christiana Care Health Services, and medicine, Thomas Jefferson U.) et al. compile 11 chapters by internists and gynecologists from the US who discuss the assessment and management of these disorders, which are often not covered in detail. Focus is on the complaint and underlying problems and short and long-term health. Some evidence-based approaches are included. The book first reviews the normal menstrual cycle, then concentrates on common complaints, and medical issues involving polycystic ovary syndrome, bleeding disorders, women who have developmental disabilities, and chronic problems. The last chapter addresses procedural management of abnormal uterine bleeding. (Annotation ©2006 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
