"The individual chapters are, for the most part, succinct...The
discussion of the various topics is complete enough to satisfy but
is not enough to turn off the reader. Each chapter has enough
pragmatic information to allow the novice to manage the
complexities of the problems menopausal women are likely to
encounter. There are chapters not usually found in other books on
menopause. For residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology, primary care
providers who deal with menopausal patients, and medical students
interested in this topic, this is a terrific book...the chapters
are readible, and there is sufficient attention to the "how to". I
recommend this book to those interested in the care of the
menopausal woman and who wish to know the science behind the
theraputic recommendations"---Fertility and Sterility®
"...very readable and well referenced...this textbook is a useful
and enjoyable text on menopause, and is generally readable, with
chapters that are short and well referenced..."-Trends in
Endocrinology and Metabolism
"...an excellent addition to the women's health literature. The
editor's, David B. Seifer, MD and Elizabeth A. Kennard, MD have
done a good job of synthesizing, organizing, and presenting a wide
range of material relevant to menopause in a readable and
clinically applicable fashion....Data regarding hormone replacement
are well presented in an evidence-based fashion. Readers are left
with the impression that they have been educated without being
strong-armed into a particular clinical posture. This is perhaps
the text's greatest strength....The text is well suited for
immediate clinical use within the primary care setting....Given
that the life expectancy of American women is reaching 80 years
(meaning that women will spend nearly one third of their lives in
the post-menopausal state), this text is a welcome addition to the
reference library of the practicing family physician and well worth
adding to your reference library."-Family Medicine
