purpose was to explore the research around stillbirths, providing a
comprehensive guide to this subject." (The

"This is a comprehensive reference on the devastating obstetrical
problem of stillbirth ... They are all written in a manner that
makes the information easy to understand and apply clinically."

an excellent contribution... "... all chapters are by
acknowledged experts in the field who present clear, thorough, and
succinct accounts of their subjects... The presentation of this
material represents a foundation on which to consider the problem
