商品簡介
The past decade since publication of the fourth edition and the passing of its original author, Ethel Sloane, has brought much new scientific knowledge about women's biology and its implications for women's health. Hornstein and Schwerin (both Lake Superior College, Duluth, Minnesota) present a revised and updated edition of Sloane's textbook for both science and non-science majors, suitable also as a useful reference for any woman throughout her lifetime. Introductory information is followed by 16 chapters focusing on specific aspects of women's biology or health. Combining biological and social factors, the fifth edition addresses new findings from the Women's Health Initiative and other research, new options for the prevention and treatment of women's health concerns, and the recognition of other factors that affect women.
