Description:

The premier reference in obstetrics for more than a century -- now in full-color Williams Obstetrics has been the premier text and reference for physicians and residents for more than a century. This latest edition will be presented in a radically new, attractive, and user-friendly package. In contrast other books in the field, Williams Obstetrics has been, and will continue to be, written by a small team of authors who are (or have been) at the same institution--the hopsital that delivers the most babies per day with the best outcomes anywhere. As a result, the book has great consistency, little overlap, and stunning depth and breadth; no other book is as comprehensive or as detailed. Using the new and attractive design of its recent companion text, Williams Gynecology, this edition will become full-color throughout with tables and figures on every page and a more consistent art program. The increased use of headings, and shorter, clearer sentences will also make it easier for readers to find the content they need quickly. Evidence-based medicine, which has long been a strong feature of this book, will now be highlighted in the text through the use of icons, and improved algorithms and tables, that provide Class I evidence for diagnosis and treatment.
