From the reviews:“This book reviews the process of oogenesis, including essentially all aspects spanning germ cell formation to ultimate atresia during menopause. … The book is written for both scientists and practitioners in the field of ART, likely including clinicians and embryologists. … This is a well-written and informative book that appears to achieve its goals.” (Kasey Reynolds, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2013)
