AB The practitioner of medicine who is frequently confronted with the problems of reproduction will find "Voluntary Parenthood" valuable and interesting. This book serves as an accurate scientific guide to parenthood, both voluntary and involuntary. It is written in a manner readily understandable to the layman, so that parents, couples desiring enlightenment on mating problems and teachers will find it a most acceptable source of information. The criteria of fertility and the causes and treatment of infertility are described with authoritative accuracy. Taboos and faulty ideas concerning mating problems are justly exposed. Methods of suppression of fertility are detailed and evaluated in the light of statistical data quoted from the medical literature. "Voluntary Parenthood" deserves broad acceptance by physicians and also by individuals or groups interested in the problems of parenthood and its control.
