The Consumers Union Report on Family Planning

KENNETH J. RYAN

This short publication covers the subject of family planning with regard to both the use of contraceptive methods for preventing pregnancy and the infertility evaluation for those who cannot conceive. A short introductory chapter is devoted to a discussion of the physiology of ovulation and fertilization. The material is well organized and reasonably comprehensive for the lay reader. In addition, it is a fair and accurate summary of our present state of knowledge. The book has a pleasing format and is executed with taste.

While this material is suitable for the educated layman, there is, as yet, no completely satisfactory source book for the physician.
