"...this atlas contains a wealth of important information for pathologists examining the placenta and provides superb illustrations. This atlas is highly recommended for all those engaged in pathologic examination of the placenta."

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

"The quality of any atlas depends on clear and appropriate illustrations and concise text in a format that allows for rapid identification of specific entities. This atlas has both. The quality of the illustrations is top rate."

American Journal of Surgical Pathology

"This second edition deals only with gross pathology of the basic and most common lesions seen in placentas by naked eye examination. … This atlas will be used primarily by pathology residents and medical students interested in placental pathology. … This is a beautifully produced atlas of gross placental pathology which deserves to be kept handy in pathology dissecting rooms and delivery rooms of all major hospitals. … It will be used by pathologists, pathology assistants, and obstetricians, as well as their trainees."
