by C. G. N. Mascie-Taylor

Cover of Variability in human fertility

In this book, the variability of human fertility is examined by first looking at the physiological processes regulating reproduction, and the roles of metabolic adaptation and metabolic load. Interpopulation variation in normal ovarian function is then discussed, covering the importance of factors such as age, disease, and breastfeeding in modifying ovarian function. This will be an important book for all those interested in human fertility.
